That's $1400./year. It's a bit like a lottery - you may win, you may loose.

Most parts are not fixable - they are replaced as assemblys. There's lot's of electronics in a modern car. Make sure the policy is all-inclusive. Is it Volvo or aftermarket policy. If it's aftermarket, google them for potential problems of non-coverage.

What do you want to pay for piece of mind motoring....
