Those warranties, again, not the TV ones ....are where most dealerships make their most profits. So your story, if true, is clearly an anomaly

That story is either leaving out some salient facts, or the Dealer was running a scam with his 3rd Party Warranty Co. Probably not actually putting the warranties on a car and keeping all the cash. If a claim comes in (which is seldom in the 1st year or so), he was then back-dating paperwork and then sending in the premium.

No one sells Insurance and then gives the money back, if you don't get sick or die. Not a sustainable business model.
