[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1077248, member: 38864"] I would hardly call it "extra goodwill". They don't provide extended warranties out of the goodness of their hearts. They make more money coming in than they pay out in the long run. The simple reality is that if you buy extended warranties on everything you buy, you are throwing money away. You can self insure yourself by taking that money, throw it in a savings account, earn interest, and pay for repairs from that, and still be way ahead. Me, I just weight the risks of what could happen, how likely it would be, and how much. I still think extended warranties on Macs are a waste of money. I'm already buying them in part because of their higher-than-average reliability. A car, on the other hand, I always get it. There are too many things that are very costly that could go wrong, and a major repair bill on something that I may still owe 10 grand on is very unappetizing. [/QUOTE]
