No. An extended warranty is basically an insurance policy taken out by the consumer, much like having car insurance. It only has to pay out if the product breaks down. The only people who make money on extended warranty sales are the people or corporations who sell them.
It really depends on how much you're paying for the vehicle. Factors related to price are age of the vehicle and condition of the vehicle. If the vehicle is really not worth much to begin with, the cost of an extended warranty will not be worth your while. However, if the car is worth a lot of money, and you're paying a good price for it, it would be worth it to purchase the extended warranty if it's you can get a good price on that, as well. Consider it this way: do you want to pay for an extended warranty on a vehicle that isn't worth much to replace?
Manufacturers have a warranty period where repairs are covered. The extended warranty is usually sold by the retailer to extend that plan and provide additional coverage for the device you purchased. One of the drawbacks of the extended warranty is that it usually runs concurrent with the manufacturer's warranty period, and in essence, you're paying for a warranty on a warranty for a period of time. Some retailers may allow you to hold off on making the purchase on the extended warranty until the manufacturer's warranty runs out. If you can choose this option and wait, it might save you as much as a third of the cost and buy you some extended time. The trick is to remember to follow through at the appropriate time. If you're purchasing one of the new digital TV's, (trust me on this)...you'll probably need the extended warranty.

OpinionI have a opinion that repairing costs for any electrical items are high, so its always better to keep your item under warranty and best way for that is extended warranty. Even I am looking forward to get my dishwasher under extended warranty.AnswerRead the small print. Consider the replacement cost of the item and balance that against the extended warranty cost. Also consider how much technology will advance between now and the end of the extended warranty term and how long your repaired item is likely be compatible with the new stuff.
Very much so?YES There is something to be aware of: We had a 2003 Bonneville that was totalled in an accident. It was still under the factory warranty. Thankfully someone mentioned that we could get the money back for the extended warranty. It turned out to be somewhat true - I don't remember the numbers, but I believe that we got back less than one-half of what we paid for the extended warranty even though the car was totalled before the extended warranty had any value to us. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't get an extended warranty, but you will lose money if the car is totalled or stolen (and not recovered) before the warranty becomes effective. I don't know if this is true of all automotive extended warranties, but if it would make a difference to you, I would advise checking into it before purchasing the extended warranty. In case you are wondering, it was in the fine print of the paperwork that we signed.
An extended warranty will extend the coverage for repairs of covered components of your vehicle, subject to the stated deductible. This can help offset the costs of repairs of covered items. You need to assess how much is charged for the extended warranty, how much the deductible is, how long and up to what mileage the car is covered, and what the BBB has to say about the company underwriting the warranty. Understand that the price a dealership may charge can be haggled on...in other words, you can get it down a bit. Also, if you are planning on rolling the cost of the warranty into your financed total, remember that you are also paying interest on what they charged you. These days a computer going out on your car can easily exceed the cost of an extended warranty, so if you can afford it, and it is reasonably priced, perhaps it would help you to have one. Make sure you understand everything about the plan before you commit to it. Understand how much it costs, where you have to get the car worked on, and what your deductible will be. Then assess if the plan is right for you.

If you have a true Extended Warranty, then you have several options, but these are rare. You probably only have an "Extended Service Contract" -- these are much more common, and they do not cover lemons. Assuming you have one of the better ESC's, you have the right to have the covered parts repaired or replaced as often as they break -- but don't expect to get a new car. On the other hand, if you are still covered under the manufacturer's warranty, then you may be entitled to a replacement vehicle -- speak directly to the manufacturer about this.
