Top Three Tips When Shopping for a Used Car Extended Warranty in Ontario

Most cars that came right out of the assembly line have factory warranties attached to them. More often than not, these warranties will cover most of the car's problems caused by a wide array of things. They are often so good that most car owners wish that they would last forever. However, this is not the case.

Factory warranties expire after a pre-set mileage OR after a certain period of time. For example, a particular factory warranty for the 2007 Toyota Corolla is good for about 3-5 years OR 60,000 miles (except for rust, which is covered regardless of mileage), whichever comes first. After that period, the warranty expires.

Here is where extended warranties come in, especially for used cars. However, shopping for the perfect kind of warranty can be tricky, and it can even be trickier when you are shopping for one that will cover a used car. However, with the right kind of information, this process will be a breeze. Thus, here are the three most important tips when shopping for an extended warranty.

First, see whether the used car still has an active warranty.

When buying a used car, you need to check first if it still has coverage and if so, what type of coverage it has. Preferably, buy a car which still has a factory warranty in it – but this is relatively rare. Just in case the factory warranty has already expired, check if there's an active extended warranty – this is the next best thing.

When all else fails, check the mileage: most cars whose mileage exceeds 150,000 km will have a harder time getting another extended warranty, so that's one good reason for getting one that has not travelled far too much. Now, what do we do next?

Second, estimate how much you'll drive the used car.

There are two basic types of warranties for Ontario used cars: one that has a mileage limit and on that has none. Based on price catalogues of companies all over Ontario, the unlimited mileage extended warranties are 30 percent more expensive than those with mileage limits, on the average.

Now, if you're just going to use the car to get to and from work, the car will probably incur lower extra mileage year-on-year, so that one with a mileage limit would be the way to go. However, if you like going on cross-country road trips, then an unlimited mileage warranty is the better option.

Third, read the details of every offer and check the company's reputation.

Some people are inclined to purchase the cheapest Ontario used car warranty in sight. However, just like anything else, the cheapest is not always the smartest. See if the extended warranty offers protection for the engine, along with the transmission, seals and gaskets and the air conditioning system. Compare costs against the kind of coverage that they offer.

If you love going in faraway places, see if they offer roadside assistance, including the list of areas where they provide their services. After all, a roadside assistance system is useless your car breaks down in a trip to Vancouver and they only offer it within Ontario. Furthermore, check whether they will cover repairs made by ANY mechanic or just those that they have pre-certified (which can be an awfully short list.)

Can't I just do the repairs myself?

Back in the old days, a lot of people prefer being hands-on when it comes to performing used car repairs. After a little bit of formal training, with some actually needing nothing but experience, a car owner was usually more than capable of putting the car back on the road again.

However, after the year 2000, cars have changed. Modern automobiles are usually equipped with sophisticated computers and electronics that will make it impossible for an average person to diagnose the root causes of car problems. To make it worse, a car owner that gives up at fixing the car himself will obviously send it to a professional mechanic, whose rates start at $60 an hours. Ouch!

Now you you can keep up with all of the great play-by-play action on SIRIUS with the Sportster Replay SP4-TK1 plug-and-play satellite radio. It lets you pause and rewind live broadcasts, so you'll never miss a second of the big game. It also has some great features that'll enhance coverage of your favorite teams, and it delivers the rest of SIRIUS's peerless entertainment options. To make sure you're on top of your favorite teams, program Game Alert to let you know whenever your favorite NFL, NBA, NHL, and college team is about to take the field. With NFL broadcasts, you can even choose whether you want to listen to the home or away announcers. The SP4-TK1 automatically records the last 44 minutes of the channel you're listening to. Just hit the Rewind button to get an instant replay of the game-winning touchdown, or press Pause if, say, you're interrupted by a phone call. The 44-minute memory clears every time you change the channel or turn the SP4-TK1 off. And if you're driving to a game, you can program the front-panel Jump button to go directly to your SIRIUS traffic and weather channel to get traffic updates. Features a suction-cup mount that'll attach to any reasonably flat glass surface. Its auxiliary input lets you connect and play your portable MP3 player. A car power adapter and a roof-mount antenna round out the package.

Get in the game with the plug-and-play Sirius Sportster 4 satellite radio receiver, which sports a new slim profile while still maintaining the same great features for which the Sportster series is known. Just like other Sirius-compatible receivers, the Sportster 4 offers a large, easy-to-read display, a rotary tuning knob, and accessible buttons, but now moves seamlessly into your car, home, or boombox. More significantly, the Sportster 4 maximizes the listening experience of Sirius radio's broad sports lineup, with the ability to decode the incoming Sirius digital-quality signal from more than 120 music, news, and sports channels. It's also easily transportable, and thanks to the bundled car kit, lets you listen to your favorite satellite radio programs while driving. An easy-to-read, six-line display tells you the channel name and number, category, artist name, song title, and time simultaneously. The receiver also lets you program up to 30 presets of your favorite streams, as well as search by stream, artist name, song title, or category. And with a quick press of the One-Touch Jump button, you can instantly switch between the traffic and weather reports for your city or any of the other music, news, or entertainment channels. Other programming details include an S-Seek function that stores your favorite artists and songs and alerts you when one is playing on any of the music channels, direct station tuning via the numeric buttons, and a channel lock option. Time functions, meanwhile, include an onscreen clock, alarm, and sleep timer, as well as a program alert that allows the unit to switch to a preprogrammed stream at a selected time. The Sportster 4 really earns its stripes, however, with its variety of enhanced features designed specifically for sports lovers. The Game Alert feature prompts you when your favorite NFL or other sports teams are playing on Sirius. The Game Zone lists all of your favorite teams in one virtual category and lets you select a different team from each of the various sports leagues, including the NFL, NBA, NHL, and college sports. And what sports fan could do without the Sportster's instant replay function, which lets you pause, rewind, and replay 44 minutes of live radio? As soon as you tune to a channel, the receiver automatically begins storing the audio for later playback. The Sportster 4 also includes a built-in FM transmitter that sends Sirius radio programming to your vehicle's FM tuner, so you don't have to make a direct connection to enjoy the full array of channels. Simply set an empty FM frequency on your radio and tune the Sportster 4 to the same frequency. This function also works with other FM tuners, such as the one on your home stereo, but is easily paired with the car thanks to the bundled vehicle kit, which includes everything you need for listening to Sirius while driving. Components include a vehicle docking station, a suction cup mount, a vent mount, a DC power supply that plugs into your car's cigarette lighter, a roof-mount antenna, and mounting hardware. Sirius satellite radio is a subscription service that provides more than 120 channels of programming, from digital-quality music to news, talk, and sports. It is available only in the lower 48 states--not in Alaska, Hawaii, or U.S. territories. The Sportster 4, which measures 4.5 by 2.9 by 0.6 inches (W x H x D), is backed by a one-year warranty. What's in the Box Sportster 4 satellite radio receiver, wireless remote control, lithium battery, vehicle docking station, roof-mount antenna, suction cup mount, vent mount, cigarette lighter power adapter, mounting hardware, installation guide, Sirius channel information card, user's manual.
