Used car warranties can be considered insurance or gambling depending on
your perception. They usually carry the following details in small
print:

If the problem is related to normal wear, it is not covered.
If the problem is related to abuse or lack of maintenance, it is not
covered.
If the problem is a performance or emissions issue, it is not covered.

Yes, worn bearings, rings, or warped valves are not covered. If you fail
to repair the worn rod bearing before the rod comes through the case, it
not covered.

I know this view is tainted, but is tainted by experience when customers
try to collect on these things.

Anyone have any experience with used car warranties?  Are they
available?  Are they worth it?  Thanks!!!
