A couple of months later Subaru extended the factory warranty on that part to eight years, unlimited mileage. The extended warranty has been, thus far, useless. We had one on a used Ford we bought from Carmax. That warranty covered about $200 more in service charges than it cost. If you have sufficient cash or credit to float the cost of repairs, extended warranties are not a good buy. They are basically an insurance policy.

Agreed. Insurance policies should be for catastrophes such as on life, home or auto accidents.
