New Car Extended Warranties
The extended warranties market is flourishing and you will find a lot of offers on the market for your new car. Remember to check if your vehicle needs one before you buy. Generally, new cars do not require an extended warranty, because today most new cars come with a good warranty for 36, 000 miles or three years, which has now become standard. Some expensive brands have a four-year, 50, 000 mile warranty.
Cars are kept for longer periods, and wear and tear and other mechanical failures can be expensive. Here the extended warranties come in handy. There are different levels of extended warranties, ranging from the ones that cover only mechanical breakdowns to others that cover even minor problems. They can be thus broadly classified as luxury coverage warranties, exclusionary auto warranties and intermediate auto warranties.
Most extended warranties for new cars provide bumper-to-bumper coverage, and some plans covers luxury parts like the GPS/navigation, DVD/entertainment systems, phone and Internet access systems, and the emission system. The bumper-to-bumper warranties cover all the parts of your vehicle. These warranties do not cover only some excluded items. The warranty companies provide these lists. These types of warranties are good buys. The intermediate warranties cover ABS, power, turbo etc. They have more advantage than the basic car warranties. Some warranties charge extra for high tech systems like the ABS, sensors, and emissions systems. But beware; the dealers can trap you giving a long list of advantages of the extended warranties, through which they get a better deal.
