We normally buy one when we get a new vehicle, but I am starting to reconsider this for the car we are getting tomorrow.
Do you normally get these? What are you opinions?

We are buying a new vehicle and plan on having it for a long time. I may take the money it would cost and put it in the bank. I've been reading so many different opinions about it.Originally Posted by GailC
Well as someone who formerly working in the auto finance industry I can tell you that a good share of the ESP price goes into the dealership's pocket. As you know there are a wide variety of plans and prices. If you are buying a new vehicle and plan to drive for a long time and the factory warranty coverage expires well you could put the cost of that extended service plan in the bank and have the cash in cash you need it for repairs.
I am buying one of your favorite cars.Originally Posted by Trouts mom
Depends on the vehicle
Japanese - no I wouldn't get the extended
Domestic or Korean - Yes I would
What about VWs?Originally Posted by Trouts mom

The old mechanic in me backs this up, remember that if you do sell a car before you use extended warr. you can recover a good bit of it from the issuer. If its a Honda chances are it will go 150K without a major.Originally Posted by Trouts mom

Really? Our first VW, a 1982 Golf (2 repairs: alternator and choke) which we sold after 8 years, is still running. We bought a year-old VW Passat, used it for 12 years (2 minor repairs to the trunk latch), and traded it in for a year-old Passat station wagon (no repairs in three years). The old Passat was resold by the dealer.Originally Posted by wearymicrobe
