Warranty Protection For Used Car
Which, if any of these service warranty plans would you recommend and why?
We just purchased a Saturn Astra and have two days to decide whether or not to purchase a service plan w/o an additional fee:
1. Vehicle Service Contract 60 months 75K miles $1495
Comprehensive Coverage when the need for repairs arise - towing, rental car and RSA
2. Guarantee Price Refund - if eligible, receive a full refund of the purchase price of the service contract up to $2500 if it expires and never used. $399
3. Car Care - all scheduled oil changes. $599
4. Gap Protection - pays balance of loan amount deficiency for total loss $599
5. Road Hazard Tire Protection - $399
1. Ask them to do a 6 year (see if you can get them to do the 6 year 100,000 mile) for the same price and buy it. Lots of people say it's not worth it... do you always have an extra $1500-$2000 cash in your savings lying around in case your car breaks? If so, maybe you can skip it. If you're like most, though, you are already living paycheck-to-paycheck, and an unexpected repair can really hurt. Cars do sometimes break down, and they are expensive to fix. It's nice to have someone else pay the bill when they do. I'd buy this one.
2. For another $399, they will give you back your $1495 if you don't use the service contract. It's for those people that are unsure about whether or not to buy the warranty, that are afraid they won't ever need it. Yes, there are some people that never use the extended warranty they bought, and I'm sure they would rather have lost $400 instead of $1500. Keep in mind, if you ever even use just the towing or rental provision that comes with the service contract, it is considered "used". So if you have a flat in two years, and use the "free towing" or "RSA" or "rental car" that comes with the above-mentioned extended warranty, you will NOT be entitled to the refund. I'm not sure this one is necessary, but honestly, I'd probably offer them $300 and buy it.
3. Depends how long they do the oil changes for. Ask how many oil changes it covers (it is a certain number, not necessarily years/miles. It WILL break down to a maximum number of oil changes.) Divide the cost by the number of oil changes, and compare it to how much you usually pay for oil changes.
4. ALWAYS get Gap, unless you are financing less than like 80% of the car's invoice value (are you putting like $7000 down or more?). You probably aren't. I would definitely buy it. There are WAY too many accidents happening every day. I buy it on all my own personal cars.
5. A waste of money, in my opinion.
What You Need to Know about Shopping in Used Car Lots
Visiting any car dealerships or car lots, whether used or new can be an intimidating experience. Inherent in a new car lot is the implied factor that the car will be new and should give you no problems until the warranty has expired. Whereas used car lots seem to imply that the cars for sale have been discarded by their owners so they can purchase another newer or better car.
This isn't entirely true though because the used car lots also extend warranties for the vehicles they sell. Most used car lots will examine a used vehicle before they accept it for sale. They usually have an extensive check list which they use to verify that the car is drivable and can be sold as a used car.
Today there are laws in place that protect the used car buyer. The days of bait and switch are, fortunately mostly a thing of the past. Used car dealers generally run an immaculate operation and the used cars they sell can be a pretty decent deal. After all the rumor is that as soon as you drive those new back tires out the driveway of a new car lot, into the street, your new car has decreased in value by at least 30% or more. So it does make sense to consider buying a used car as your next new car.
Still, visiting a large used car dealer's lot can be intimidating. You pull onto the lot and park in a space. There you are seemingly immediately approached by a horde of aggressive sales people. If you tell them you would just like to look, they fade away for a short while. As soon as you seem to get interested in a car, one or more of them swoops down on you offering to show you the vehicle. At some point they will ask what do you want to spend on a new car. When you answer, they will direct you to something that suits your budget. During the discussion they will also ask you how you will pay for the vehicle or if you intend to use the car you arrived in as a trade in toward the purchase price.
Because you want them to think you are a valid potential customer and not someone just looking, you need to have some documents with you so you can fill out the application for credit and get approved before you purchase that car. You should bring your driver's license, proof of insurance for a current car you own, and a paycheck stub or proof of some form of regular pay that you have from the place where you are employed.
Of course, you might have pre-approved credit from your bank or credit union. If you do, it gives you some bargaining power to negotiate down the price of that new car. Whether they provide the financing or you already have it, be prepared to spend time negotiating that used car price lower.

Power equipment and appliances from your vehicle. Click to enlarge. Great for automobiles, RVs, boats, tractors, trucks, and more. Click to enlarge. Includes three grounded AC receptacles and 5-volt USB output. Click to enlarge. How The Cobra Power Inverter Works The Cobra power inverter is an electronic product that has been designed and built to take low-voltage DC (Direct Current) power from your automobile or other low-voltage power supplies and convert it to standard 115 volt AC (Alternating Current) power like the current you have in your home. This conversion process thereby allows you to use many of your household appliances and electronic products in automobiles, RVs, boats, tractors, trucks, and virtually anywhere else. Cobra 1500 Watt Output Waveform Some very sensitive electronic equipment might not operate satisfactorily on "square wave" or "modified sine wave" power. The output waveform of the Cobra Inverter is a "square wave" or "modified sine wave." It is a stepped waveform designed to have characteristics similar to the sine wave shape of utility power. A waveform of this nature is suitable for most AC loads, including linear and switching power suppliers used in electronic equipment, transformers, and motors. AC receptacles With three ground AC receptacles, you can connect and power multiple devices at once. USB Output The 5-Volt USB output allows charging and operation of modern portable devices, such as iPods, BlackBerrys, and cell phones. Remote On/Off Switch Capable An optional Remote On/Off Switch can be connected to the Remote Jack, allowing you to turn the Cobra power inverter on or off from a convenient location when the inverter is installed out of reach. Safety Features The CPI 1575 will notify you with a flashing meter and alarm sound when there is a power problem, and will shut down for protection in the following situations: Current Overload Protection--If the inverter is overloaded, it will shut down to protect itself. Short Circuit Protection--If the AC output of the inverter is short-circuited for one second or more, it will shut down to protect itself. Low Voltage Protection--If the input voltage drops to 10.0V or less, the inverter will shut down to protect itself. High Voltage Protection--If the DC input voltage rises above 15.0V, the inverter will shut down to protect itself. Over Temperature Protection--If the internal temperature rises to 40 degrees C (104 degrees F), the inverter will shut down to protect itself.

We recommend at least one fire extinguisher for every 600 square feet of living space. This fire extinguisher contains monoammonium phosphate; a dry chemical extinguishing agent that is nontoxic; inhibits r The Kidde FA110 Multipurpose Fire Extinguisher is UL rated 1-A:10-B:C, and it is designed to fight basic fires common to the home, including those involving fabrics, plastics, wood, flammable liquids, and electrical equipment. It is fitted with an easy-to-read pressure gauge that tells you the fire extinguisher is charged. A clear instruction label clearly shows the steps required to operate the extinguisher.Product Highlights Recommended by the NFPA for supplementary fire protection UL rated 1-A:10-B:C for basic home use 6-year warranty Easy-to-read pressure gauge Rust- and impact-resistantnylon handleThe Kidde FA110 is a multipurpose fire extinguisher for basic protection.View larger. Take a 3D tour to learn the types of fire extinguishers you need to protect your home.Multipurpose Protection for Your Family and HomeThis fire extinguisher contains a multipurpose agent that fights Class A, Class B, and Class C fires. Class A fires involve common combustibles, such as wood, paper, cloth, rubber, trash, and plastics. Class B fires involve flammable liquids, solvents, oil, gasoline, paints, lacquers, and other oil-based products. Class C fires involve energized electrical equipment, such as wiring, controls, motors, machinery, and appliances.Recommended by Fire Experts for Proven ProtectionThe National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends at least one primary protection fire extinguisher for each level of the home. A primary protection fire extinguisher should have a fairly large capacity and must be UL Rated 2-A:10-B:C or higher. In addition to your primary protection, you should also have UL rated supplementary protection fire extinguishers for additional protection or specific hazards. You should not have to travel more than 40 feet to reach an extinguisher.After ensuring you have enough primary protection fire extinguishers, place 1-A:10-B:C rated multipurpose fire extinguishers as needed for supplementary protection in bedrooms and living areas.This supplementary protection fire extinguisher meets the recommendations and needs of: The National Fire Protection Association: the NFPA 10 Standard for Fire ExtinguishersUnderwriters Laboratories (UL): the independent testing lab for fire safety productsProfessionals: for more than 90 years, industry leaders, the military, airlines, and firefighters have relied on Kidde fire extinguishersThe Right Solution for an Emergency SituationIn an emergency situation, you need a proven technology: a UL-rated fire extinguisher with a handle, a visible pressure gauge, and enough size and capacity to put out a common fire. These features are what makes a fire extinguisher the tool of choice for true fire suppression. Many aerosol can fire products may not be as reliable for fire protection, because they have a short shelf life (only three years in many cases), they do not provide a gauge to verify readiness, and they aren't UL rated. If you are able to react to a small fire when it starts, chances are good that you can stop the fire with the right type of fire extinguisher. Always make sure your extinguisher is pressurized and close at hand for emergency use.Built to Last and Easy to UseThis Kidde Fire Extinguisher is durable and easy to use. The fire extinguisher is warranted for six years, and its metal pressure gauge helps ensure that the fire extinguisher is charged and ready for use. This extinguisher is durable and corrosion resistant, featuring a rust- and impact-resistant nylon handle and a light-but -durable aluminum cylinder. The sure-grip handle and operating lever make the extinguisher less likely to slip from wet or oily hands and easier to operate for people with arthritis or weakness of the fingers. A large bilingual nameplate on the extinguisher provides easy-to-read instructions for use during a fire.About Kidde: A UTC Fire & Security Brand Renowned for global leadership in fire detection and suppression, Kidde provides solutions ranging from portable fire extinguishers to advanced industrial controls, such as flame detection and explosion suppression systems.
