Do You Need A Car Extended Warranty?...
October 18, 2008
When you buy a second hand car from a dealer, you will normally find that it comes with a warranty of some kind. This may last for three months, six months or possibly a year. On occasion there may be no warranty at all.
But whatever you do or don’t get, it doesn’t mean that’s what you’re stuck with. A car extended warranty can cover you for longer than the period that the dealer’s warranty stands for, making a car extended warranty a very good idea.
If you want to buy a car extended warranty, the best place to look is online. By typing “car extended warranty” into a search engine you will find all the companies that offer a car extended warranty for you to buy. It’s important to check the policy details before agreeing to any particular one; one car extended warranty may allow claims for parts that wear out, whereas another car extended warranty may not.
As with insurance, a car extended warranty can vary in price between providers so get more than one quote and consider the differences between them carefully before committing yourself. A more expensive car extended warranty may be the better choice if it gives you more value for money and more services as a result.
Make sure you know how long your car extended warranty is valid for and what benefits there are to having it as well. A car extended warranty can give you greater peace of mind to be sure, but it can also lead to problems if you don’t check the small print. For example, you may only be able to claim against your car extended warranty for a limited number of times, so make sure you know what’s involved before you sign on the dotted line.
