Of the following, which factor or factors would make it more likely that buying an extended warranty is a good idea?I. The extended warranty overlaps with the manufacturer’s warranty.II. The product has a high probability of needing repair in the next few years.III. The product is a major purchase that you are unlikely to soon replace.

A warranty is more valuable when the product is likely to need a repair, so statement II supports buying one. It can also make sense for a major purchase you plan to keep, because a repair could be costly and you would benefit from continued coverage (III). Overlap with the manufacturer’s warranty does not make an extended warranty a better deal, since you may be paying for coverage you already have. Therefore, the correct choice is II and III.
