Extended Warranty: Anyone buy it?

[OR VietVet]

I live at and manage a storage facility near Delta Hiway off Goodpasture Loop off Goodpasture Island Rd.

I bought one for my escalade and it was soooo worth it after about 5-6k in repairs at the end of the 3 years I owned it. Ended up buying one for my Denali as well. And I'm sure as hell going to get one for my future 2015+ model too.

What was wrong with it that cost $5-6k?

A very long list of things I'd have to look up the paperwork but some of the major ones were the autoride compressor and the AC compressor that both went out. Catalytic converter also started making this terrible sound and that was replaced too.

The converter is covered under emissions warranty up to 8 years I believe.
At best, and if you own a lemon, you may recover the initial cost of the warranty.

Vegas doesn't build casinos because they lose money, and extended warranties are not there to protect you. They are another profit tool for those willing to listen to the scare tactic.

The amount of repairs I had was over triple what I paid for the warranty. It was worth it to me.
