There is no right or wrong answer. You must determine the amount, if at all, on an extended warranty. To help reach a decision, consider the following:

  • How reliable is the make and model of your used car? If it has a good track record (high resale value is a good indicator) think twice about investing in an extensive coverage package. On the other hand, if you find your model has a low reliability rating, maximum coverage may be the way to go.   
  • How long is the current auto warranty? If it extends for three years and you plan on driving the car for as long as it holds up, a comprehensive extended auto warranty should be considered. Conversely, if you intend on driving it no longer than three years, you probably won't need an extended warranty. 
  • How do you plan on driving the vehicle? If you hope to use if for off-road driving, an extended warranty may be a wise investment.
  • Know what the warranty covers. If it covers for both wear-and-tear and breakdown, it's a warranty worth considering.
Weighing all of these factors should give you a better idea on how much of an extended auto warranty you will need. When you begin shopping online, be sure to get quotes from several companies before deciding. More choices means better decisions.
