In my opinion extended warranties are very useful provided you have a good one.

It's not just about the best price, it's about the best coverage.

I had an extended warranty with warranty direct when I had my Blazer. Using it for the repairs more than paid for itself.

I had problems with the U joints every year, the rear wiper motor, the 4 wheel drive stopped shifting, broken ball joint, etc.

Getting all of those things fixed over the years I think I paid about $20 out of pocket the warranty covered everything else.
