Re: warranty
Yes, for $1575, I'm getting LPM100N - lifetime extended warranty with a $100 deductible. A $50 or no deductible was much more. I'm OK with paying the $100 each time, I'm mainly looking for insurance for the costlier things (like a radio dieing or a failed window motor etc. etc.) whereby I don't get hit with a large bill.
I'm usually NOT an extended warranty guy (this will be my 1st ever on anything), but I really would like to aim for keeping this Challenger for as long as I can drive (or as long as there's gas and even then I might keep it as a garage decoration) and so I'm thinking that over the course of something like 15-20-25 years I will probably have a few things go wrong whereby at least I break even. And if something unexpected major should go, then maybe I'l end up ahead.
And hey, if I end up with a trouble-free car for 15-20-25 years and I end up "behind", then in many ways I'll still end up ahead!
