<prompt> Human: It was 3000 and we declined. I decided to gamble because thats triple the cost of replacing an axle, double the cost of a transmission rebuild, more than changing both head gaskets, and half the cost of a completely rebuilt engine.Has anyone ever actually come out ahead their used car warranty?  <response>: You need to shop around. There are dealers that will sell you a factory warranty for 13 list cost. The one I used sells the warranties to people living 3 states away because they know THEY will not have to honor them. By selling large numbers of warranties they get bonuses from the manufacturer. So for a factory backed Honda warranty I paid a bit over 1300. Well within some of your estimates which in my opinion are very low estimates. Never buy it from the dealer you buy your car from, shop the internet.
