I trade my vehicles every 2-3 years always under factory warranty. I haven’t replaced brakes, tires, wiper blades since 1989 and don’t plan on it.
As a person that made a living in the car business extended warranties are only good after the factory warranty expires.
So you buy it when you purchase the car say a 5 year contract you’ll be paying for a warranty period that is already covered by the factory and your 5 year warranty ends only really helping for 2 years.
Waiting till factory is almost expired you’ll get a good deal on the warranty and you’ll be paying for time and miles that you actually need coverage for.
Personally li like to let the new owners do the repairs and settle into a new one.
Lots of good deals right now on left overs and you’ll get 2-3k more for your trade than ever before but that will heal itself in a while.
