I'm not saying one should never buy one, it all comes down to what the comfort is worth and how devastating a major repair would be for you financially.

If you had unlimited funds, you'd be selling the warranties (insurance), not buying it. Just look at our friend Warren Buffett.
Companies make money off extended warranties due to pooling of their risks.

My car is out of warranty now and im considering selling it and picking up and 11 or 12.
