Okay, but no. What kind of car should *I* buy?

27x60=1620. Is that a good price?

that list is for used only. the new cars are also divided by class by model as i listed above.

this class guide gets you into the right section of the cost guide.... then the miles that are on the car when it's sold get you to the right row in that section... then how long a plan you want is the column.... the cost is at the intersection. there are 3 levels of coverage... powertrain only, a mid level(power equipment motors, a/c, major suspension cooling fuel parts... but no radios or bluetooth or nav type stuff), and exclusionary coverage ( they tell you what is NOT covered, and everything else IS.. this is commonly referred to as bumper to bumper)
we can mark them up as we like. typically I open people up between $600 and $1200 over and see where it takes us.

Only a fool buys insurance to supplement the warranty. It is priced so that you always end up paying more. Similar to going to a casino to get rich.

If a car is so unreliable as to need supplementary insurance, then why waste money on it?

Supplemental warranty insurance is irrelevant to the topic: a relationship between a manufacturer's warranty and product reliability. Longer manufacturer warranties claiming to cover more indentify unreliable products.

Charts for supplemental coverage are irrelevant to the manufacturer's warranty. And completely irrelevant to what was discussed. If the manufacture hypes a best warranty, then his products is typically unreliable. In the end, costing the consumer more money (with or without supplemental warranty insurance).
