Should I buy the Volvo extended warranty?
I am a bit of a stickler when it comes to car maintenance, but I’ve never really dealt much with car warranties. Is it worth it to buy Volvo’s extended warranty?

Every new
Volvo
comes with a 4 year / 50,000 mile, factory warranty. That’s not a very impressive length, and given that Volvo ranks quite low on the JD Power’s Dependability Study
, we’d be a bit concerned when that four years runs out.For that reason, it might be a good idea to purchase Volvo’s extended warranty.
Volvo offers three levels of extended warranty: VIP Platinum, VIP Gold, and VIP Powertrain. Each lasts for 6 years or 120,000 miles, whichever comes first. Here’s a look at what each of these extended warranties covers:
- Platinum—covers almost all mechanical vehicle parts, excluding brake drums and rotors, brake linings, airbags, glass, safety restraints, and more.
- VIP Gold—covers important vehicle parts, like engine, transmission, brakes, steering, suspension, and more.
- VIP Powertrain—basic coverage for the engine and transmission.
Keeping your car in good repair will save you money in the long run, and having warranty coverage makes it easier to get repairs done when you need them.
