[QUOTE="Scott F, post: 445598, member: 23059"] I was a service technician for 36 years. We were required to sell our customers maintenance contracts because while the service work returned $30 out of every $100 brought in to the bank, extended warranties put $80 out of every $100 in the bank. Your argument for buying the contract was exactly what my bosses wanted me to tell my customers to help me sell contracts. Scare tactics. The reality is that so few new products need service during the first 5 years that the odds greatly favor the manufacturer. They really make out getting you to pay $400 up front for service that you will likely never use. You should notice that EVERYBODY including WalMart tries to sell extended warranties on everything because that are such a huge moneymaker. It's a gamble but the odds are that your new motor will not need warranty service during the extended warranty period. [/QUOTE]
