lexguy2000 Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I just purchased this car for my wife. I have an opportunity to buy a Mercury insurance policy. Any advice would be appreciated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Do you have maintenance records for the car? Honestly I don't think extended warranties are worth it for the LS, they're very reliable as it is and I doubt you'd get your money back out of it.

pachocco1 Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 All I can say is read the fine print. Some company warranties have a loose (in my opinion) definition of the word 'warranty'. It may include per incident deductibles, pre-repair approvals for the mechanic and the repair itself, and other various time consuming or cost hidden exclusions.

Are you cognizant as to what components have a tendency to fail in between 70 and 100k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 I know you're getting into strut territory but the warranty's not going to pay for them, and I also know that you can have some lower ball joint failure at that mileage but they're not likely to cover that either. Other than that not a lot. These cars dont have a lot of "common problems". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
