Extended Warranty?

CaroleBaskin · 04-05-2011, 10:14 PM

I've been out of Warranty for almost a year now, 49k miles.

-- Should I look at extended warranties?
I'm financing this car, and Im going to have it for a while, I don't think I can afford anything wrong with this car.

2006 325i 4DR

I think extended warranties are worth it as far as the 335i goes. As for the 328i i wouldn't bother.
Are there common $$ problems for the 325i that you might run into? that's what you should be asking and you can decide from there.

I assume that you're on a tight budget. If BMW is willing to certify your car after inspection, then chances are that nothing major is wrong with it in the first place. Personally, I would take the risk and just set aside a few grand, and then make buddies with a good mechanic.
