$4000 is what you PAID for this service. So this is not FREE. On top of this, you financed the 4k so you are paying interest over the 5 years. At 5% that's another $500 that this service is going to cost. So to break even, you need to use up $4500 worth of minor repairs.Considering that it is a hassle to use these services anyways, I don't see it happening. I would have preferred to put the $4000 into a savings account and use the money to buy a NEW car sooner! |

I didn't get anything. I've been fortunate to not have anything happen to my car.

But you need to explain to the rest of the nice readers that you live in a socialist republic with 13% sales tax. Most here would faint at the thought!
For reference point, that's right at what I paid with the pre-order in the spring with a cash purchase. Certainly did not see me volunteering to give more money to the dealer. |

$4000 on "just in case" protection? Las Vegas my friend...that place was built for you.
What is insurance for? That fixes dents. $4000 in your bank account also fixes small dents, and huge ones too. Seats ripping? Are they fixing it? How? $4000 goes a long way towards fixing stitching. Rim(wheel) protection? Again, prepaid $4000 for what you will find on ebay for a fraction of that for a full set, let alone a single wheel. And there are places that repair minor and major wheel damage, again for a fraction of the $4000 you spent. Get your money back on that garbage ASAP and just get the extended vehicle warranty that probably covers half of that extra stuff anyway at 1/3rd the price or less. |

I paid a little shy of 30k, and have unlimited tires, wheel repair, all scheduled maintenance etc. Its a car I plan to keep and an extra 5k for piece of mind is not too much to pay. I don't mind paying to keep the things I own protected and covered.
