Hey guys, I asked this as part of another post over on the attachments forum.
Do any of you have experience with buying a warranty for a used tracked machine? I am buying a 2006 Takeuchi TL150C with 3200 hrs on it from United Rentals. Despite the high hours, I feel confident in the maintance history of the machine given UR's maintanence schedule for their rental equipment. They are offering me a 6-month, 12 month, or 24 month United Guard for $1300, $2200, and $3500 respectively. Looking at the list of covered items, it seems like most all of the components of the machine are covered. I know this is like buying a warranty for a new or used car at a dealership. Its basically insurance. Sometimes it pays and sometimes it doesnt.
Any thoughts or experience that you guys can share with me? I thought I would ask all of you who have experience buying used machines like these.
Thanks!
