Extended warranty?

I was wondering if anyone had extended warranty that allowed them to have aftermarket parts on their evo x, or know any in mind.

Kinda sounds like you are referring to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act? This piece of legislation protects consumers in some areas involving the use of non OE parts

This Vid is an experienced auotmotive lawyers viewpoint (good info!)

Don't waste your money. Even if you found one, getting them to pay out on most claims would be an uphill battle. You're almost always better off putting the money you would have spent on the warranty into a car repair fund.

Extended warranties have never paid off in my opinion. Just spend the money on tools and do your town work .

Don't ever purchase an extended warranty for anything ever. They are for suckers. All the money you save over the years NOT buying EW's will pay for the rare repair you will need to do. If you are modifying the car then forget it. A warranty protects against manufacturing defects. When you are modding YOU are essentially taking on the role of the manufacturer to some degree. What you are really talking about is some form of insurance, but even then would not be worth it.

Anyone notice they try to sell "protection" plans on BluRays and games? Did anyone actually buy those? Like I said, suckers.
