Should we get an extended warantee for our 04 OBW? I would only consider the Gold, 6 year/100,000 mile with either $0 or $50 U.S. deductible. How much should I pay for it? Dealer was asking $1900 when we bought the car. That seemed kind of high, but I have since looked at what is covered, and it looks to be more comprehensive than most extended plans. At this point (750 miles and two weeks in) I would say we will probably keep the car until it drops.
We had the extended on our '99 Camry, and that paid for itself and then some (we paid about $900 for the plan, and received about $2000 worth of repairs, but the dealer's service department was very generous with their descriptions of what was broken when we got near the 100K mark, so about $1000 worth of stuff got replaced near the end).
Has anyone collected more than they paid? It's a heck of a gamble, but the LL Bean version has lots of stuff that can break.
