hi Marcus,
I've seen the trailers on this & thought I'd respond directly to your
original question:
1) I had an 85 vanagon for 10 years, bought the extended warranty & did
about $100 better than break even.
2) I have a 95 evc, bought new, and wish I had spent the US$900 or so
on the extended warranty. would be close to breaking even already.

So, as others pointed out, buy it if you can afford the premium better
than the possible costs of something major. just read the fine print...

Subject: [ev_update] New owner; extended warranty question


Eurovaneers:

I recently bought a '95 EV GLS with 100 000 kilometres on it. Fine
vehicle, but I have a couple of questions:

1. All this talk about auto. transmissions makes me think that I should
jump on the extended warranty while I still can. Is it worth the
$1150CAN if I plan to keep the van at least 5 years?

2. Is it common to have to try the starter twice after a 15 minute hot
soak? This only happened every now and then in my '84 Vanagon, but I
feel like it happens all the time with the Eurovan.

3. I know that everyone else has been driving their EVs for a long time
and are now de-sensitized, but should the front end be as noisy as it
is at highway speeds? Sounds almost like an unbalanced wheel or a shot
bearing, compared to my quiet (but slow) Vanagon.

Thanks in advance. I hope this gets through, as I had no success
sending things from my e-mail server.
