Fair enough. That's true.
But I stand by extra warranties being a scam.
Depends. I see what people pay for BMW extended warranties, and one simple suspension repair and it pays for itself. Let alone something as complex as any HV component, which can be $5-6000.
It's a gamble. A literal bet.
The customer is betting they'll need it. The retailer is betting they won't. And the retailer sets the price to ensure the odds are on their side.
I don't gamble at casinos for the same reason.
suspension is considered wear and tear and not covered in warranty
It absolutely is on any decent warranty. I replace suspension parts on extended warranties almost every day.
