OEM replacement insurance worth it?

Interestingly the answer to your question just appeared in the thread about the Clarity's fragile, leak-prone A/C condenser. In this post, the first Clarity aftermarket replacement part known to this forum, a non-OEM A/C condenser, was revealed. So it's unlikely that any warranty repair other than the A/C condenser would involve a non-OEM replacement part. The very existence of this aftermarket part suggests that the number of failed Clarity A/C condensers is great and that many wait to fail until after the warranty expires.

 

I'd tend to think it is a waste of money for OEM replacement insurance. Not many OEM parts available from what I have seen and any accident of significance requiring many replacement parts will total the car from what I have seen so far. Here in the US, insurance companies will often use junkyard parts instead of new parts to repair a car. That might be more of a risk than having to worry about non-OEM. I had a BMW repaired that was hit by a person running a stop sign. Their insurance covered the repair, but the shop had to refuse both a fender and door that they wanted to use from a wrecked car before the repair was finished. The shop first outright refused the fender provided since it was damaged. The shop did install the door and repainted it, but it would never seal correctly (air leak), so they ended up having to discard it and purchase a new door to get the air noise stopped.
