Buying extended warranty after first 30 days?

I am looking to purchase an extended warranty but am wondering if it will really be worth it.....

and anyone know if its alot more after the purchase?

 

Purchasing after is beyond expensive. For me its worth it as I commute to campus and use my computer for everything (School, Games, Television, General activities).

 

I've seen posters post after-purchase quotes and they were monstrous.

For example, a post I was reading last week had a guy who was quoted 400$ for year #2 of warranty coverage.

It all depends which rep you get, so keep that mind. I've read of people trying several reps and the quotes greatly vary.

 

for your info , i called up dell in the uk and spoke to a rep, i ended up getting a 3 year extension(so a total of 4 years) for £179 , what a bargain

This was within the initial 30 days though

 

Unbelieavable, almost cheaper than a single additional year along with the purchase...

 

any chance you can give us some info about the rep ? Like name, direct line number or his email ?

I'm trying to get a deal like that but my rep gave me a quote of £297, which is frankly quite hard to swallow

If you don't want to put his info publicly, perhaps you can shoot me an email at [email protected] ?

Cheers

 

Trust me - its beyond expensive.

I wanted a quote for a m18x since I only picked up a 1 year advanced (part of the reason for the return). It was $1500 to max it out including complete care. At POS it was $440ish.

I talked to rep and they advised me to return it and repurchase with the POS warranty since they can't give me those rates.

 

Why would anyone spend $1500 on a warranty. Put $1500 in savings, and if anything does happen to your laptop, you have the cash to replace it. Insurance on anything should not cost the same as a new one, otherwise what's the point?

 

Anyone try Square Trade for laptop extended warranty? I've always heard good things about this company and how they don't ask a lot of questions and just send you a check in the mail. Anyone with real experience? I've purchased extended warranties on my TVs from ST but haven't had to file a claim.

I think he meant that his system was $1500, the warranty was $400 on top of that

As for squaretrade, I can't seem to find a way to get a quote from the uk website. It would need to be purchased the same time with the laptop, it seems
