A powertrain warranty sounds good when you are looking at vehicles. The powertrain warranty usually lasts longer than the commonly referred to bumper-to-bumper warranty. I talk to people all of the time that say, Oh, I'm covered for 5 years and up to 60,000 miles. They of course, are referring to the powertrain warranty. Powertrain warranties usually only cover the internally lubricated parts of the engine and transmission. These are parts that almost never fail and when they do chances are you didn't change your oil which will void the warranty. Powertrain warranties are a great sales gimmick to get you to buy thinking you are well protected. I have heard that only 2% of people ever actually use a powertrain warranty. I can't say this is a fact but I suspect it to be true. Anyway, I don't want to brust your bubble but if you like security from repair bills then I would look into a good extended service contract.
