A couple weeks ago, on a Sunday morning, I was running late. My morning coffee didn*t wake me up like it should have, and I was dragging. As a result, I was going to be late for church, and as a teacher, that wasn*t going to be good!

I finally got my stuff together and ran outside to my car. It was raining. As I put the key in the ignition, I knew something wasn*t right. I turned the key*nothing. The car wouldn*t start. I hoped the problem was only with the battery, so I rolled the car onto the street, pulled my wife's car out, and jumped the battery. It worked!

After church was over, I took my car to a garage, where I found out the problem was the battery, and I replaced it.

But what if the problem wasn*t the battery? What if it was some kind of engine failure? The car was only five years old, but there could be an engine problem at any time. Before I found out definitively what the problem was, the only thing that ran through my mind was dollar signs*what would this cost me if it was an engine problem?

It turns out I didn*t have to worried at all. When I bought the car, I could have bought a vehicle extended warranty that would have covered engine repairs (and some other things), but I was too cheap to do it. I decided to gamble on the car working properly until I wanted to get rid of it, and I got lucky that something major didn*t happen to it.

What about you? Have you considered getting a vehicle extended warranty? For the small monthly cost, it would certainly give you peace-of mind. Knowing that your car was covered for repairs even that much longer will help you feel better when your car overheats in the fourth year of your vehicle extended warranty*especially if your original warranty expired after three years.

Many insurance companies and dealers will offer a vehicle extended warranty. You should look into it, and get several free quotes to compare. Then, you can make the best decision you can to get a vehicle extended warranty.
