Saab: Saab Warrany?

I have a 2000 9-5 Wagon. At the end of December the factory warranty will
end. Is it advisable to get the extended warranty?. I was quoted a price
of $2000 for six years additional coverage. Is it worth spending this
money? or are the cars so reliable that I don't need to worry.

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks,
Paul C.

Except that on these extended warranties you don't typically get 100%
coverage. There is usually a co-payment or deductible of $50 to $500,
depending on the warranty.

If there is a way to weasel out of paying, they will (although this doesn't
happen as much with factory warranties, so I agree with your recommendation
there). Aftermarket warranty companies are particularly bad for this. If
they don't go bankrupt and make your warranty worthless, they often try to
claim your warranty is invalid because you didn't maintain the car properly.
In the transmission example, they might say that you didn't maintain the
fluid level properly and it is your fault that it broke.

My opinion is that you should put the $2000 aside and use it to pay for any
repairs you might need in the future. For every car I have purchased so
far, the money for the warranty was still there even after the warranty
would have ended. Your mileage and driving habits may vary from my
experiences.
