Probably not worth the cost. The vast majority of these insurance
policies (they're really not warranties, but insurance policies)

Possibly. However, if the repairs that were covered by a TSB, the
repairs might have been done free or at a reduced cost. Plus, you might
have had the repairs done more cheaply by a private garage.

That because the people who sell the insurance pay out so little on
them. The vast majority of the money that you pay is for profit for the
dealer and profit for the insurance company that sells the warranty.
Plus, if your car gets wrecked, the insurance is lost.
These insurance plans are usually a waste of money.
