Are Extended Warranties Worth It?

You have decisions to make when you buy a car. Should I get the floor mats? Should I opt for that feature package? Should I buy extended warranties? That last one is probably the most important. Fortunately, our Finance Department has helped lots of Yakima customers just like you figure out whether extended warranties are right for them. So, are extended warranties worth it? Let’s find out!

Should I Buy Extended Warranties?

“Should I buy extended warranties?” you may be wondering. That partly depends on how long you plan to keep your vehicle. Extended warranties kick in when the standard warranty expires, so extended warranties make sense if you plan to keep your vehicle longer than three to five years. They can be an important part of keeping your vehicle running on our Ellensburg roads for years to come. So, are extended warranties worth it to you? Ask yourself the following:

• How long do I plan to keep this vehicle? If you plan to keep the car past the time the factory warranty expires, you may consider getting an extended warranty to cover repairs.
• How old is the vehicle? Used vehicles inevitably will need to be repaired.
• How do you plan to use it? Some of our local roads can be pretty hard on a car during the rough Sunnyside winters. If you do a lot of driving in rough conditions, you should consider buying an extended warranty.
