Welcome Jimmy and Patsy.
We are on our 4th bus, and never bought into "after market" warranties. As Elliot and others have said, keep your money in your hands. If you absolutely have to have one, first, don't finance the warranty into the cost of the coach. These warranties only last a few years, and your note payment will last a whole lot longer, so you'll be paying for something that has expired. Its best to pay up front.
Yesterday, we bought another Chevy truck for work, but we may tow it behind the bus.
After most of the signatures were in place, out came the parade of "after market warranties, including this GPS based battery powered Low Jack box. It was amazing the cost of this stuff. They present these options, scribble on the paper what your final vehicle cost is and it was not even close to what we agreed to. It worked out to $81.00 a month, for 4 years coverage or a total of $3,888.00. Stumbling in disbelief, I lept up saying that's not what we agreed upon. Subtract that S%#% off, or we walk. They did and we left richer.
Why not set up an account, set asside a few bucks, then when the unthinkable happens, pay for it yourself. In the long run, it will be cheaper than the stinking "warranties."
