Matticus91 thanks for the detailed write up, this adds a lot of confidence for buying aftermarket warranty. My own experience (with dealer-purchased Toyota top-line extended warranties some years ago) did not pay out; I voided them, got my money back, haven't considered one since. Looking into buying a 135i, I'm more interested as I expect it to be a much higher-cost car to maintain than the Priuses and Volts I've had for the last 2 decades.

Warranty solutions but you have to purchase the warranty when you buy the car at an approved dealership, I got mine from Hanna Imports.

Is Life a Box of Chocolates?

I wonder if they are forced to offer warranties on trouble prone cars like Mercedes and BMW to be able to offer warranties to other brands? In other words, can they get away with practicing discrimination? Just looking at one brand, say BMW, over say a period of one year, the question would be is the income-cost positive? Again it might be again realizing that many cars might not have major problems. Also first owners might dump the cars before major problems pop up. The second owners might ignore warranties looking at their percentage cost of the purchase price. I have the BMW Gold warranty which I paid $3K for three years. I look at it as an insurance policy to protect me against major problems. So far, I've only had to have injector #2 replaced. I have 15 months left on it. With the original and extended, I'll have had 7 years of coverage. My ownership rule is 10 years or 100,000 miles. At that point, I consider the car pretty much junk in terms of market value. In short, I'll need another warranty for three more years. I paid $38K for the car new, so adding in the cost of warranties or $6K assuming the cost of the next warranty is $3K, the cost of ownership would be $44K excluding operational costs. Who knows what the future will hold? Only the Shadow knows! |
