Still, the issue is that this is all about averages. Some people will have more breakdowns than projected and they will "make" money on the warranty. Others will not. Just like you said, when you buy pay a reasonable price. Dealerships like to mark up warranties hundreds or thousands of dollars, but that's too much. A couple hundred dollars of markup is fair (if that). Hal – You’re absolutely right about warranty costs reflecting projected reliability. Still, the issue is that this is all about averages.

However warranties are priced according to the vehicle's reliability record so the cost of a warranty for a more reliable vehicle will be less expensive than a vehicle with a history of often needed or higher cost repairs. This generally means that in almost every case an extended warranty purchase makes sense as long as you are buying it at a reasonable price. Our company has been marketing some of the most reliable warranties in the industry for almost 30 years.
