Extended Warranty Question

Not sure on Sony televisions, but here is what I found out about Mitsubishi:


Mitsubishi's come with a 1 year factory warranty.


Up until the warranty expires, you can purchase a 3 year extended warranty from them. Before that 3 year warranty expires, you could renew that warranty, and none of the years overlap. You can have up to 7 years warranty on the unit.


I checked with Fry's Electronics, where I intend to purchase mine, and the largest they offer is a 5 year warranty.


Needless to say, I will prchasing my extended warranty from a different place from where I bought the unit.

Have you considered a RepairMaster warranty? They sell warranties for all types of products. Prices are excellent (especially for 5 years). I bought two warranties from them and found their service to be good. A lot of places sell them and it doesn't matter if you buy the TV somewhere else. Tvauthority.com sells them. I bought mine at Efunctional.com (cheaper).


A couple things to keep in mind...


The RepairMaster warranty begins at the expiration of the factory warranty. Example ....4yr warranty gives you 5yr total coverage (+Sony one year warranty). Check the fine print. Some extended warranties begin from the date of the TV purchase.


You need to register the RM warranty within about a week or 10 days after you buy it.



They package a lot of different warranties, but these are two that may apply to your purchase.


RMT45000 - for televisions priced $2,500-$5,000. 4 years coverage following the manufacturers warranty exp.


RMT25000 - same as above except only 2 years.
