I would say the real question is should you invest in an extended
warranty (they are really insurance policies).
Consider that on average over 50% of what you pay goes to profit the
salesman, the store, the insurance company and others in the chain. The
remaining 50% goes for the servicing of the insurance policy. Of that
some
part goes to pay the overhead of the insurance company and profits. Some
small part of what you pay goes into the fund that has to pay for any
covered repairs. In addition, if you have a covered problem, they you
are
stuck with whatever remedy they chose.
Save your money, put it in a savings account and know that over time
you
will have more money going in than coming out of that account. In other
words, self insure and keep the profits and overhead that would otherwise
go
to the insurance company, salesman and store.
Same goes to all such extended warranties. Self insure and keep the
difference.
