Extended warranty

Hi,

Looking for some advise from RV owners.

Is it a good idea to buy the extended warranty from the Dealer?

We are waiting for our BT Cruiser from RV Wholesalers and they are offering a 5 year platinum coverage from Protective for $7000.

Any advise would be appreciated.

thanks

    Remember: it is a business. They are in it to take in more cash than they have to put out.


    if he has the spare cash laying around to do that, pay that towards the loan and put the reduction in savings.

    I have had this happen to me, incredible fortitude on the part of the person selling the rip off program. Check the fine print, most will do everything possible to avoid paying a claim.
