My husband and I bought a Subaru outback for around $32,000 almost 3 years ago. We've been very happy with it and plan to keep it for a very long time.
We just got a note in the mail saying that the basic three-year warranty will expire when the odometer reaches 36,000 miles or at 3 years, whichever is first. They are offering two extended warranties:
42 months/60,000 miles for $750 OR
42 months/80,000 miles for $980
It says that the classic plan
*protects your investment by paying for parts and labor on major mechanical repairs
*covers wear and tear items not usually covered by other extended service plans
*includes towing and rental car allowances necessary for covered repairs
*provides an inflation hedge on future repairs
There is a Subaru service center about 30 minutes away (we are in NY), so we are thinking of going for it. Usually, extended warranties aren't worth the paper they are printed on, but this seems pretty good. I'm not sure how to judge it. Thanks!
edit: Part of the issue is that I don't even know how to judge if a warranty is 'comprehensive.' We traded in our first car after 3 years for this one, so I have never had a car for more than 3 years, so I don't know what type of repairs/maintenance to expect. Neither car had an issues within the first 3 years.
