Due to the number of horror stories I am directly aware of where car owners spent thousands for this nonsense, and then when they had a legitimate claim, the warranty company weaseled out under "abuse, abnormal usage, pre-existing condition" and similar terms in the contract. These contracts vary between total fraud to being designed only to make money for the issuing company; you’d be better off putting the cash in a conservative investment as a hedge to pay for future maintenance.

And as for “being smart enough to buy a policy to fix your grinding gear box”, I’m not even going to comment…………………
