An employerâs number of full-time employees matters both for purposes of whether the Employer Shared Responsibility provisions apply to an employer and whether an Employer Shared Responsibility payment is owed by an employer (and the amount of that payment).
We explain a few situations when it might be a good idea and a few more when you should just walk away. In general, we don't recommend buying an extended warranty on a used car. Warranty companies are in business to make money, and they've usually done their homework. This means you'll likely spend more on the warranty than any repair costs your car may accrue during the period when the warranty is valid.
The fact is, buying an extended car warranty is a gamble. Consumer Reports puts the average cost of an extended warranty at $1,214, and the median out-of-pocket savings on repairs these products provide at $837. Thatâs a $377 loss. But for some, those odds arenât a deterrent â the comfort knowing that unexpected repair costs are covered is worth a few hundred bucks.
