Have you ever bought something and then regret immediately after giving your cash to the
\nregister, but you can\u2019t do anything about it cause you\u2019re already in too deep? Yep, you\u2019re not
\nalone in making those shopping mistakes.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re here to show you the most common mistakes when buying an extended car warranty
\nand the best way to deal with them.<\/p>\n

Buying because you were pressured to<\/h3>\n

One of the biggest mistakes a buyer does is purchasing an extended car warranty because they
\nwere pressured into buying the coverage. While not all warranty dealers are shams, but there
\nare still some that would go as far as using fear-mongering tactics for you to buy the coverage.<\/p>\n

If you feel that you\u2019re one of the people who got scammed into buying additional coverage,
\nhere\u2019s what you can do.<\/p>\n

1. Check for policy cancellation. Read the fine print, in the contract and double-check if you can
\nget a refund of the payment. Usually, they\u2019ll give you 90 days for cancellations and refunds.<\/p>\n

2. File a complaint. If you feel that you got conned and you\u2019re already in too deep to cancel, you
\ncan contact your state\u2019s attorney or Better Business Bureau and file a complaint.<\/p>\n

With all this, just remember that you can always say NO.<\/p>\n

Buying without proper inspection<\/h3>\n

Trust between you and the car dealer is really important especially if you\u2019re investing a big
\namount of cash in your car, may it be new or preowned. With preowned cars, even with the
\nvehicle history report, it\u2019s best to have the car properly inspected. This way, you\u2019ll be able to
\npinpoint which specific part needs the coverage.<\/p>\n

Buying without considering the potential breakdowns and car parts replacement<\/h3>\n

We worry less about preexisting issues when it comes to brand new cars; but did you know that
\neven new cars have underlying issues? This is why before you decide to invest in a new car, you
\nneed to do your research.<\/p>\n

Vehicles nowadays are built to last longer, but even the most durable cars are prone to
\nbreakdowns. This is why an extended car warranty is necessary since not all breakdowns and
\ncar parts replacement are covered by a factory warranty, especially when it comes to wear and
\ntear.<\/p>\n

Buying without proper research<\/h3>\n

Knowing your car like the back of your hand is a necessity. This is why it\u2019s best to properly
\nresearch the car you bought or still planning to buy. I\u2019m not just talking about the basics like the
\nmake and model but the repair record. Check out internet forums, it\u2019s a gold mine of
\ninformation.<\/p>\n

Buying the wrong warranty package<\/h3>\n

The biggest mistake you could make when buying an extended car warranty is getting the
\nwrong warranty package. Well, not entirely the wrong package because the most common
\nprotection covers the powertrain, but what I\u2019m talking about is the additional coverage. For you
\nto know exactly what coverage you need, consider these tips.<\/p>\n

1. Do Your Research<\/strong>
\nNot only should you know about the make and model, and best features of the car but you
\nneed to know what kind of potential issues you\u2019re going to expect.<\/p>\n

2. Have Your Car Inspected<\/strong>
\nEven with thorough research, you still need to have your car inspected by professionals since
\nthey know what to look for.<\/p>\n

3. Get Professional Advice<\/strong>
\nEven with the proper knowledge and thorough inspection, you\u2019re still unsure of what coverage
\nplan to purchase, you can always ask for professional advice. This way, you\u2019re sure to get a bang
\nfor your buck and get the comprehensive coverage that suits your needs.<\/p>\n

Key Take-Away<\/h3>\n

When it comes to buying an extended car warranty, do not lose sight of the fact that you don\u2019t
\nhave to buy it soon after you\u2019ve got a car deal. When your car dealer pressures you into buying
\na car warranty, just say no and give yourself some time to research and ponder. Avoid doing
\nmistakes when buying an extended car warranty by doing your research properly. With A-
