Extended warranty...is it worth it? 850 97

posted by  someone claiming to be steve on  Tue Feb 20 18:46 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I just got a used '97 850R wagon with 48k miles and was wondering if I should get the extended warrenty or not. Its about $1000 for 72 months or 100,000 miles. If these cars are made to go 300,000 with regular maintenance then I think I'll pass but if they are know to go bad from now till 100k miles then its something to think about. If two major things go wrong then I think it will pay for itself, but if not then it will be just an insurance payment. So, what is the general feeling here about how these cars are made? Any known problem areas that will cost a lot in repairs down the road? Note: the history on this car has been very good. So far the only thing that was replaced under warrenty was the front and rear brake pads and a wheel bearing. So far so good... Any comments?
