extended warranty... yes/no?

Well, I went back to my dealer today and added GAP for an additional $8 a month on my payments.

Mikeb made a good point about power windows and locks going bad and the extended warranty covering those. Now he's got me thinking that maybe I should get the warranty.

Like I said, I reallllly struggled. I am still not sure I made the right gamble, so - as if anyone needs my approval - if you have a power package and you buy a warranty, you won't hear any objections from me. It's a crap shoot. The bottom line is that your power windows WILL break. The gamble is whether or not your extended warrantee will still be in effect when it happens. Take it from me - nothing more frustrating than driving a good looking five year old car that the windows don't work on!! So much for saving money by not running the AC!

I used to sell electronics and appliances. We ALWAYS made more money on the warantees than the product (commission). I wonder if it is the same with vehicle warrantees?
