2001 LHS. Need new warranty
No way Hose 'A'! Window lift motor for an LH car lists for $82, costs
between $60 and $75 at on-line discount dealers. So - the answer is still "no extended warranty". Are you saying you paid $500 for a window lift motor? Even with an hour of labor that would be hiway robbery. -- Bill Putney (To reply by e-mail, replace the last letter of the alphabet in my address with the letter 'x') Art wrote: > Well his window motors are likely to break unless they fixed the problem by > 2001 which I doubt.

I do about 8k miles per year on a '95 LH, now about 90k miles total. Don't waste your money on an extended warranty. |

I agree with who. What kind of failure are you thinking might happen to you that would cost over $3500 (I added a little for deductables and other b.s. "not covered" aspects of such failures)? My philosophy is to self insure whenever possible and to purchase extra warranties and insurance *only* for catastrophic things that could wipe you out. Also, with the future business environment not being favorable, warranty companies are going to fight you every step of the way on any claims (if they are even still around) - it's bad enough in the recent past environment - you ain't seen nothin' yet. Statistically you will be way ahead to bank the money to self-insure especially in your case. -- Bill Putney (To reply by e-mail, replace the last letter of the alphabet in my address with the letter 'x') |
