Has happened a lot with my older vehicles (including scratching side with keys etc.)
But the ultimate happened last week - some idiot splashed coffee right across the hood of my freshly washed white family van (it has been only five months since I bought it).
Some total weirdos are out there. Quote:

Anyone has any experience with it? Is it worth putting $3200 for a lifetime, unlimited miles coverage.
It has a $100 deductible though.

I personally got scammed a long time ago on extended warranty from "Warranty USA" which declared bankruptcy in 2002 and there was a class action lawsuit etc. https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov..._usa_faq.shtml
Never got back a dime and all I can say is that I lost 1500$ in 1999-2000 and have been very wary ever since.
As for the van, we actually went in to the dealership to buy a used van and found a better deal on a brand new 2014 Dodge grand caravan with AVP (American Value Package).
Those vehicles are not advertised or pushed by the dealer since it is a no frills version and comes only in white color.
Happened to see one on the lot in an obscure corner and literally had to ask more details about it.
It came with an all inclusive on road price of "20,600 USD" at zero percent apr.
Thought it to be a great bargain plus it also came along with the peace of mind of a new vehicle warranty period.
Please check with the BBB (Better Business Bureau) about the actual provider of these warranties. Am posting a sample below just so that you get an idea as to how they play games. http://www.ripoffreport.com/r/Warran...s-of-con-36632 http://www.consumeraffairs.com/auto_..._warranty.html
Good luck to you.
