Can I buy mechanical / breakdown cover insurance if my car is paid in full and about 4 years old?

CAR BREAKDOWN
sriram r asked:

I am getting sick of shelling out 200+ bucks everytime something goes wrong. I want to buy this sort of insurance in addition to my regular insurance so I can get away with paying a deductible at the time of repair. But can’t find companies that offer this as a separate product. Any help much appreciated. Could I get by with just breakdown cover from somewhere like the RAC or the AA ?

Don’t go Without Breakdown Cover! Cars know to breakdown during Tax / Summer season!

CAR BREAKDOWN
Domino T asked:

It never fails, each year I expect a decent return and I think about the trip I am going to take and as soon as my check comes in…the car decides it wants a water pump, a new transmission, ball joints need to be replaced, the computer goes out. Is it me or what? If it wasn’t for my decent breakdown cover with the AA - I really would in trouble!

Is it a job for Breakdown Cover?…speed sensor is broken? Can I still drive it?

Joey asked:

Like when I accelerate the speedometer doesn’t go up but the car moves? If i drive it will it breakdown on me? Is it something that good breakdown cover can deal with…or is breakdown insurance cover meant for complete mechanical breakdown - where your car is immobile?

Why does everything ( car, furnace, plumbing, etc. ) always breakdown on the weekends?

CAR BREAKDOWN
is life really hell in Hell? asked:

I swear, it never fails. Everything seems to fall apart on the weekend when you either can’t get it fixed and have no breakdown cover or you have to pay double to do so. With my luck, this question will likely fall victim to the same phenomenon. Some troll will probably run across it and have it removed. I sure as hell wouldn’t bet against it…!Why the hell didn’t I get breakdown cover?

I’m going on a vacation to North Carolina in a Month. What type of maintenance should I get done to my car & should I get breakdown cover?

CAR BREAKDOWN
referencearea asked:

I have a 91 dodge dynasty and Its has 77,000 miles on it. Will it make the 6 hour drive to North Carolina and back. What type of maintenance should I take care of before I go to make sure my car doesn’t unexpectedly breakdown. Would I be foolish to set off without breakdown cover - or should I just join at the roadside if I need to?

I’m buying a used car soon. Besides my personal prefs, what’s the MAX age and mileage I should look for?

CAR BREAKDOWN
Bizzy B. asked:

Plan to keep it for at least 5 yrs. Would a late 90s car be too old usually? Would 100K+ miles be too much? How many miles do cars usually run b4 breakdown anyway?
I forgot to say in the 2K-5K range!
I ONLY want to know what you’d conside to be too many miles on it, and how old you would go.
