More warranty thoughts

[The '84 Scirocco <scirocco@macslut.org>]

We recently bought a Ford Focus ZX3 and it comes with a 3/36 warranty, and
we also purchased an extended warranty (5/60) that covers everything, even
struts!  it wasnąt even that expensive, so I donąt know if anyone else has
experience with these things or not.  I've always been skeptical of these
deals, but I read the contract and it sounds pretty cool. Its not a
reimbursement plan, they pay the shop up front.  Variable deductible, no
higher than $100.  Good at any garage, not just the dealer.   Also available
on used cars below 70,000 miles I think.  Anyhow, it was a 3rd party (not
ford) so probably available for VW's as well.
