The Implications Of The 5 Year Extended Warranty, And How They Should Affect Your Buying Habits

Owning an automobile with a 5 year extended warranty was not in any saleman's list of priorities, until automobile manufacturers began to realize what a difference it makes to gain an advantage over the competition. Although people love the freedom of driving cars, they don't love the lack of freedom involved in having to maintain them. When car trouble occurs at a most inopportune time, it can have other consequences besides simply resulting in high bills. Many people use their vehicles as part of their work, and even those who don't often rely on them as a means of getting to and from their work.


Generally majority of the people own their vehicles for reasons related to family needs. If you have children, you must necessarily be concerned about their safety on the streets. If you have disabled, elderly, or infirm parents or other family members, you will also feel that a car is necessary to transport them. There is no substitute for having the peace of mind that an official warranty gives you. Although it is possible to extend a warranty, either through the dealer or a third party, the coverage will never be as comprehensive as the original coverage you get with the manufacturer's policy.

If getting a new car is part of your future plan, it is desirable and advisable to consider getting the model that is packaged with a five year extended warranty. Although the initial reaction may be that you will pay a high premium in price for this, it has not really worked out this way. The critical factor, of course, is the reliability of the make itself. Certainly, a manufacturer without a first class record in producing reliable vehicles would be committing financial suicide if they were to offer five year warranties. Because of the high reliability rate of the models which are covered, especially in the years between three and five years old, the manufacturer can take the financial risk of the extended warranty.

You would soon discover also the attractiveness of automobiles with a 5 year extended warranty coverage. This is another reason why the price has been kept low. If you are selling a higher volume of vehicles, you can afford to take a smaller profit per unit sold. In this case, it is more important to make a huge impact on the market, gaining recognition and prestige at the expense of the manufacturers who are unable or unwilling to match you, and putting your brand at the forefront of the industry.

If you do not fall into the category of getting a new car, but have bought one recently, you are thinking about if you can enjoy the same benefits by beefing up insurance cover to what you already have. The answer in most, if not all, cases will be no. Although it is perfectly possible to extend a warranty, or to take out a service contract after a warranty, the amount of coverage you enjoy will never be the same as if you were still under the terms of the original warranty. This is one of the major reasons why it is hoped that other manufacturers will begin offering their own five year extended warranty.
