Re: When is it worth purchasing an extended warranty on a used vehicle?

Hey Art, I am "sort of" thinking of it also - we've an 05 Avalon (21k) and 
08 Highlander (10k) - extended Toyota Platinum from Keith at Midwestmotors

(7/75) is 619 for Avalon and 559 for the Highlander, under 1200 for both. 
Either Toys are better or Honda after your shorthairs.
My reasoning on even considering it is that I am damned near 70 and just 
don't want to worry and 300/year is pretty cheap for minimal worries.  I 
hope Ray agrees at these prices!  By the way, thanks to Fed, CD's and
money 
markets are maybe 3.6 here in Ca.  So the 1200 would earn me maybe 200
bucks 
for the 4 years extension (well maybe 50 more for the Highlander 2 years)!
Ron in Ca.
