| I don't like the Cadillace dealerships. I feel like they all are a bunch of scammers. I want the new Cadillac Escalade but I feel like every dealer is very greedy. Instead of them making money they want to make me broke. I have waited for 2 years to buy a new car. If I can't find a good deal on the Cadillac Escalade I wont get a new car at all. | |

I live in a rural area of Alaska. I have been looking at used cars through some dealerships. It seems that there's no 30-day to 90-day warranty on used cars when the manufacturer's warranty has run out. (One of the Edmunds.com blogs advised not to buy a used car that doesn't include some basic warranty.) Can anyone advise me on this? I feel uneasy buying a used car with no warranty. |

I was reading and I cant help but notice if you get a warranty thru a dealer you pay the markup they added. They carry those warranties as if they were the factory, but they are not! Everyone gets a cut. The Dealer that forces you to use only his Warranty is not on the up and up. I have an Extended Warranty with Auto Repair Warranty, they cut out the middle people, they pay cash and saved me thousands not only on the warranty itself but the dealer estimates for repair, which were inflated and wanted to repair things that did not need it.

Folks, I have a 2003 VW Jetta with 35000 miles. The original factory warranty is due to expire in a week. The 2003 Jetta has documented Engine problems specifically the Mass Air Flow Sensor and the Water pump. To protect myself from other engine problems, I am researching extended warranties. I have researched several forums on extended warranty, read about WarrantyDirect, The Auto Club, Mercury Insurance Group, VolksWagen RealDriver extended warranty (administered by Fidelity Warranty Services) etc. My observation is: 1. Warranties backed by Good AMBest A rated Insurance companies donot cover Wear & Tear. They cover only Mechnical Breakdown defined as "failure due to faulty workmanship or materials" 2. Warranties that cover Wear & Tear are all backed by RRGs. I would like to ask if: 1. Anyone has used Volkswagen/Audi Warranty (administered by Fidelity Warranty Services) and do they honor the claims (especially on vehicles older than 5yrs/50k miles) 2. Has anyone used aftermartket warranty like WarrantyDirect, Warranty America etc for expensive repairs (repairs costing more than the premium) with good satisfaction ? 3. Does suggest any reliable auto warranty broker ? Regards, Bak
