I have another buying used car question, if anyone is around now...
For a 2009 Corolla low mileage 29,000, what do you think is the value of an extended warranty bumper-to-bumper for 12 months?

It sounds good to have, but I also think an 09 Corolla, unless it has been mis-used, should not have a lot of problems in the 1st year of use.
Beyond regular maintenance.

thank yo for any feed-back.

1. I'm suprised it still doesn't have the warranty from Toyota
regardless, it's a waste of money...

you'll be fine..

Unless it's only like $100 bucks or something

2. I'd say skip it
unless it's really cheap. Corollas are reliable cars. But be sure to check to see if it's been in an accident.

3. yes, that is what I think too.
Consumer reports doesn't think much of the extra warranties that used auto places give. They charge a couple thousand for them, and really, a corolla, if well-cared for, should not need major repair work for a long time.

I think it is another gimmick...
