FOR YEARS I'VE THOUGHT, WHY BUY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON A TOYOTA, HONDA, NISSAN, etc. Of course, buy one if you're getting a Mazda, VW, Audi, Ford, Chrysler, GM, Chevy. But you're buying quality, the warranty will cost you more than any possible repairs, and besides, who keeps their car for seven years? FAST FORWARD TO 2009 These days more people buy a new car knowing that it may have to last them 7 or 8 years. The sacred cows of the auto business, like Toyota and Honda are finding it harder to keep up their sterling reputations now that more of their parts are being produced in other countries and their cars are being assembled in the US, Mexico and other countries. Now, as never before, it makes more sense buy and extended warranty when you buy your car. Perhaps you wished you'd bought an extended warranty when you got your last car, or maybe you've purchased recently from a private party, and a warranty wasn't available. Don't worry, although it's best to buy coverage when your car is new, it's not to late. You can still purchase coverage tailor made for your driving habits on the vehicle you have now. NOT EVERY COMPANY IS CREATED EQUAL The problem is that this is an area fraught with fly-by-nights. The
departments for motor vehicles in California, New York and Florida, being aware
of this, have stringently filtered out almost every company. At the time I am
writing this, there are only two companies permitted to sell vehicle extended
warranties directly to residents of California. The scary part is that many of
those "not approved" company warranties are being sold to unwitting customers by
car dealers in California. Those dealers are required to stand behind the
warranties they sell, should the warranty company go bust. Right. Can you say
dealer closures? Think about 2009, when we lost so many dealers all over the
country. WHY PAY DEALER MARKUP WHEN YOU CAN BUY THE SAME
COVERAGE DIRECT? Warranty Direct is the consumer division of Interstate National Dealer Services, one of the largest independent automobile warranty providers in North America, not just another web site selling automobile warranties. For over 30 years they've been selling extended warranties through manufacturers and dealers. The warranty you buy through a dealer may be re-labeled to have the manufacturer's name, but it's most likely written by Warranty Direct. They also sell through used-car dealers, banks and credit unions.
