I have a 2007 Frontier 4x4 pick up and when I bought it I went ahead and got the extended warranty with it. And like most warranties, I never had occasion to use it. Nissan makes a great truck and this one ran perfectly for nearly the entire 5 yr period. One weekend I started experiencing a strange loss of power and I was going thru gas like crazy. I took it to my dealer and it turned out that my catalytic converter fell apart and pieces were sucked up into my engine block. As a result it completely destroyed my engine completely and I needed a complete new long block. Turns out I had 2 days left on my extended warranty and the entire thing - new long block, installation, etc., completely covered under my warranty. I was 2 days away from a $8k repair bill (the new long block itself was $6k, I saw the invoice when it arrived) and I'm sure installation and decorating it would easily tack on another $2k considering it was a dealer doing the work. So the way I see it, I can buy every extended warranty for the rest of my life and even if I never use any of them I'll still end up in the black.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
