    i know i said i'd never start another poll, but...

    i never purchase extended warranties. just wonder what everyone else does. are they worth it? or are they for suckers?

    maybe it depends on the purchase?

    i guess i feel like i'm wasting money.

    i'm buying a product that shouldn't go bad -- at least not "soon".


    what's the line from tommy boy about warranties?

    Depends on the purchase.

    I got a 4 year extended one on my 57" tv, it was $150.00, but I feel it was worth it just in case something happens.

    Pretty much the same here. I always get the extended warranty on my vehicles, but on nothing else.

    How much does a typical extended warranty on a new car cost? I am thinking about $1800 or so. Unless you blow a motor or transmission you are not going to have a repair that costs that much.

    I have never purchased an extended warranty. However, whenever I finally get a new plasma, I'm getting one.
