- I don't agree to this generalization.
-
- I bought an extended warranty on my Honda Prelude - 4 extra years for $450. I
- was kicking myself as the warranty was about to expire that I'd wasted my money.
- T - 35 days my AC blew up - $980 repair cost - my deductable $10.
-
-
- Canon Camcorder extended warranty $100 for five years (Camera cost $1250).
-
- 30 days after the end of the original warranty a problem occured. Sent to
- Cannon for repair - $125 cost - paid in full under extended warranty.
-
-
- Sont CD player - 5 year extended warranty - $50 - (Can use as a credit in the
- store if not used after 5 years) - Unit malfunctioned after 1 year (Sony
- warranty was 90 days) - Unit was replaced with new model!
-
- Not bad going really!
