Three SID. There....that paid for the warranty. Remember. peace of mind is also a factor for many people - like life insurance, most people ought to have it, but they never really want to use it. The warranty at : http://www.roverguy.com/warranty.html has a $100 deductible per visit, which could add up if you had lots of failures. But if you sell the car, they will refund your premium on a pro-rated basis.They also have an (optional - $$?) feature in which they will refund it in full at the end of the time period (less interest, of course!) if you have made no claims. Also, you have to consider the value of the additional features, which would cost you extra if you bought them elsewhere. This Plan includes: * 24 Hour Roadside Assistance (Including: Tire, Battery, Lockout Fuel/Fluids Service, Etc.) * Towing * Rental * Trip Interruption Protection * Transferable to the next owner * Cancellable (Pro-Rata Refund) So my personal feelings are that these plans have merit, if carefully researched. Obviously everyone must decide for himself. It's really just risk tolerance. John Davies Monroe WA USA
