Replying to: deblyn52 (May 27, 2007 2:44 pm) I'm not sure we'll have access to the Forum's e-mail, but thanks for trying. I just wanted to see the text of the paper you signed, to see who exactly is obligated to give you your money back: the service contract company, the dealer, or a third party. I'm not a lawyer, I just wanted to read the text (and give others the opportunity to). We can't really give you solid opinions unless we can read the whole story.

Replying to: mitzij (May 29, 2007 3:46 am) Your right - I do not have access - I did send it through edmunds.com and I don't think it went through. Nevertheless, I will say that I have read both documents through and through and it only says between dealer/contractholder. Not one word on anything regarding 3rd party. So these guys are something. That's all - will I ever trust a dealer - absolutely not. That is pretty scary seeing we all have to buy a car. Now isn't it. Thank you so much for all the opinions I have received. deblyn52
#1975 of 2870 Lexus Hybrid Extended Warranty by akg May 29, 2007 (3:44 pm)
My friend has now purchased his fully loaded (no DVD player) Lexus Hybrid and wants a 7/100 zero deductible Platinum warranty. Any good suggestions for a fair price? The dealership he bought it with quoted him $2,300. I think that's too much. Is it? Edmunds has always helped me find good deals and dealerships to buy my warranties.    A past poster on this forum said to go on-line and search toyota-lexus. Watch me age on my dial up as I go for that, but I'll give it a whirl. Thanks!!

Replying to: gasman1 (Apr 26, 2007 4:06 pm) Do you know the contact for these dealerships? My on-line search really didn't help me much. Thanks! Replies to this message: gasman1 (May 29, 2007 7:08 pm)

Replying to: akg (May 29, 2007 3:48 pm) Sorry! Even if I could recall them, we're not allowed to provide contact names, However, two of the three dealerships are in Iowa City, IA and Greenfield, MA. The third was in Virginia. Good luck!
#1978 of 2870 older car, warranty question by olddog7 Jun 02, 2007 (10:04 pm)
Hi, I bought my Buick 5 years ago, and purchased a GMPP warranty- 6yr/75k miles/0 deductible. I am almost at the 75k. My question is, can I extend that warranty another 2 years/100k miles? (2/25). I dont want to pay a lot of money for this and have debated selling the car. At the dealership where I bought the car, the only thing they offered me was a 3rd party, not as inclusive warranty for about $1700. I could use that money towards a new car! The reason I would want to keep the car is it is paid off and running well at the moment. However, in the past I have had problems with this car, even getting a new(rebuilt?) transmission from Buick(GMPP) under the warranty and am leery of keeping this car without a decent warranty. I would like to keep this car another year or two, but if I can't extend the warranty, out it goes! I'm kicking myself for not buying the 7yr/100k warranty when I bought the car new(would have been an extra $200). Do you think I could have any recourse with GM at this time, extending the warranty for the above mentioned? I would be willing to pay around 5-7 hundred dollars for the priveledge. Right now I think the car is running well and externally the car looks great, I would have no problem selling it for the right price. If anyone has any info on how to extend and "extended warranty" please let me know. Thanks in advance! Replies to this message: wlbrown9 (Jun 04, 2007 9:54 am) dtownfb (Jun 06, 2007 6:23 am)

Replying to: olddog7 (Jun 02, 2007 10:04 pm) You might try GMOUTLET dot COM. They sell GMPP at a discounted price. The only statement I could find on their site was:   5). I Currently have a GMPP on my vehicle, can I purchase more GMPP coverage ?        If your current GMPP plan has a minimum of three (3) months “AND” 3,000 miles remaining you can purchase additional GMPP coverage.
#1980 of 2870 2005 Nissan Armada Extended Warranty by montag451 Jun 04, 2007 (1:54 pm)
I have an 2005 Armada SE with about 35,000 miles on it and am looking to maybe get an extended warrantee through Nissan. I am the original owner. I'd like to have the best service they offer, I guess that would be bumper to bumper. I'd prefer not to have a deductable, but would do so if the cost differential is outrageous.   I'd like to extend the warrantee to about 100,000 miles.   What kind of price am I looking at? Can I negotiate? Any ideas of where I can go to get this info if not here?   Thanks in advance for any help...
#1981 of 2870 Re: older car, warranty question [olddog7] by dtownfb Jun 06, 2007 (6:23 am)
Replying to: olddog7 (Jun 02, 2007 10:04 pm) Not sure if it is worth while to purchase additional coverage. If you are willing to pay $500-$700 for this coverage, why not just save the money and pay for the repairs yourself out of pocket? there are very few repairs that will be covered at this point that will exceed $700. If the car is paid off, just sock away the monthly payment along with the $700 you were going to pay for the additional coverage for a down payment on a new car. This way if the transmission does go, you have a nice down payment toward another car. OR you can even decide to get it fixed.   You are in a nice situation. You have a car that is paid off with only 75k miles. Even with a rebuilt transmission, the car should easily get you over 100k miles. I would not be in such a hurry to ditch this car simply because the warranty is about to run out. You even say the car is running well and looks great.   I don't know your financial situation but if it were me, I would keep driving it for the next year or so and then re-visit this again. i wouldn't even worry about the extended warranty since the only large item that it will cover is the transmission and quite honestly the rebuilt transmission may not be covered if you were to extend your coverage. You would have to check the language of this warranty very carefully as there may be a clause about "original" parts.   BTW what kind of Buick do you have and what other problems have you had? One thing you can do is check on the Buick forum to see what others are having problems with. I do this with my Olds Intrigue.
