If they would have offered that price, I would have jumped all over it.

Their first offer was 4500. Then because I was a Costco member they brought it down to $3750. It's not a membership!! It's a lifestyle!

Anyone heard anything good about easycare.com ?

They are totally screwing you! That $750 they dropped because you are a costco member was all profit on their end. How much profit do you think they have left? I bet THOUSANDS!

It is illogical to purchase a warranty and expect to "come out ahead". Sure, a few people will, but far more will not do so. The warranty companies make a profit on these insurance policies, on average, and they aren't in the business of losing money.

The reason to buy an extended warranty is for peace of mind. You should expect to pay for the benefit of that peace of mind, and not having surprises, and that is fair. If a major failure would leave you unable to repair the car due to cash flow, then you are a good candidate for an extended warranty. If you don't like to budget for unplanned breakdowns, then you are a good candidate. But if you can generally afford to fix what breaks, and particularly if you do any DIY, then self-insure and just put the money aside in a rainy day fund. Enjoy the car.

I don't have a problem paying what a warranty is worth. I do have a problem with people getting screwed by the warranty companies. That is both on the front end and on the back, if they refuse to pay the claims.
