[QUOTE="carguy, post: 429573, member: 12521"] My view on purchasing extended warranties is never do it. I base that on my the fact that millions of dollars has been spent in research. Extended warranties are a profit maker for the seller of the warranty. Odds are you will never need it, which is the only reason they sell them ;) If It's CHEAP (usually for some cameras, lenses and other small items) and it will give you peace of mind, go for it, but most can be quite expensive depending on what you buy. * This is not to say they don't ever pay off sometimes as they certainly do. Odds are that you will never need it. I do have one exception now that my kids each have an ipod, I purchased the [I]insurance [/I]for those little devils. They just break things :) [/QUOTE]
