I have a some stuff about Ext. Warranties and you guys just happened to be talking about it too! I recently bought a 4-cylnd 2001 626 (bought it in late May). I went ahead and purchased the extended warranty because I wanted that security/piece of mind and because of worries over the tranmission (bad experiences with Ford almost stopped me from buying the car all together). I got my extended warranty contract in the mail yesterday and it says I have to pay a $100 deductible per visit for repairs. This maybe a standard practice and it may not, I don't know, but the dealership never explained that to me, never mentioned anything about a deductable. We discussed different mileage lengths and different year length, never anything about a deductable. Is there anything I can do about this beyond complaining to Mazda? Also, the extended warranty contract doesn't make clear that my standard warranty is still in place, but I assume it is. I think a lot of this is ignorance over the whole subject... thoughts? -Andy |

Your factory warranty is still there. The extended warranty kicks in after the factory warranty expires. You may be able to return the warranty citing that it was misrepresented. Also, it's up to the dealer as Mazda has no say in what they sell or how they sell it. |

| The one time I had an extended warranty, it came with a $50 deductible; $100 doesn't seem too out of line, but they should have explained that up front regardless. | |
| Thanks for the input guys. | |

Hi Guys, I am in the market for a used car. This one is a 1998 Mazda 626 LE, with 54000 Miles. Dealer in Michigan is asking for $6,995. This is 4 cylinder with a stick shift. All standard options are present in the car. Need advice on 2 things. - Is this a good price. - Any particular problem that I need to be aware of, especially with the stick / clutch. Thanks in advance, Bsaha |

| sounds like a fair deal...solid car | |

| That price sounds like a wonderful price, almost too low. Edmunds True Market Value (TMV) gives an average dealer retail selling price of $9,300. Is it an LX or DX? The LX has power windows/locks/mirrors and cruise control, where the DX does not. Also, give the body a good look to ensure that it hasn't had any major body work. If everything looks good, definitely go for it!! The only problem with the 626 is the 4-cyl with automatic. The stick shift, as maltb said, is a solid car and should give you years of trouble-free use. That price is absolutely outstanding!! | |

Bsaha: sounds like a deal. Dealers in most states offer a 30 day warranty, and if so that would offer piece of mind. -juice |

We bought a Double-ought 4 with a clutch and couldn't be happier. Being from a spread the salt state, our car visits the car wash 3X a month in the winter. You may want to take a closer look underside. Mechanically these babes are tough and with proper care and service 6 digits worth of mileage should'nt be unreasonable. Good Luck |

Also, it's up to the dealer as Mazda has no say in what they sell or how they sell it. I was tald at the dealership that the extended warranty kicks in immediately after you sign the contract, not at the end of your current warranty. For example: Now I am at 33k miles and still have 3 more years left from my original manuf. warranty. If I buy additional 5 years, I'll have 5 years left not 3+5=8 years ! By the way, the quotes I've got are the following (with my 33k miles and Gold Mazda Protection Plan): 6 years or 75k = $2900.00 5 years or 60k = $2000.00 4 years or 48k = $1500.00 ... I am still thinking.. |
