Dave,

You make an excellent point. I always refused extended warranties because I
thought they were just over priced insurance. But I do buy insurance on my
home because I cannot afford the loss.

I can pay cash for a new HSI, but I don't necessarily want to take that kind
of hit.

Predictability is a big reason why I think an extended warranty would be
good for a new plane purchase. Also a good reason why I am seriously looking
at my next plane having a glass cockpit. The repair prices are much more
predictable than standard avionics.

Larry,

gratz on selling your older plane. why did you sell it?

Yes, I own a plane, and ownership has changed some of my thoughts as
well.
Getting maintenance paid for under warranty made me think that an
extended
waranty would be a good idea. I never buy extended warranties on
anything,
but a plane purchase changed my outlook.


That's ridiculous and shows how little you have learned to date. A
warranty on a new plane won't save you any money as nothing breaks in
the first few years and the warranty cost is figured into the cost of
the plane. I have a 67 182 and would consider selling it for an older
182 or a 206. Older 182's have more performance than newer ones and of
course a 206 can't be beat.

He never said he would save money. Maybe he just likes to have predictable
costs.
