i bought a used CPO 2007 nissan morano AWD with 14K miles on it from nissan dealer. paid, $24,200 inc. nissan 100K miles pre owned preferred extended warranty. the car came with 100K/7 yr power train warranty under nissan cirtified program covering engine, transmission, AWD, and fule pump.. the extra coverage cost me $1200 for covering suspension, steering, breaks, electrical, and AC after 26?3 yr factory coverage this is moranos last year of production until new model comes out later this month.. looking at service agreement i just received, i have 60 days to cancell with $50 cancellation fee. the nissan Cirtified covers 460 parts for 100K miles while the extended warranty will cover 1150 parts. should i take chace and return the warranty for refund through the dealership where i bought it? thanks for your input.

Replying to: joel0622 (Jan 09, 2008 12:39 pm) i was told that this was a best nissan extended warranty deal which was same as their GOLD preferred but its not.. the gold extended warranty covers over 1600 parts while pre owned "wrap" covers 1150 parts and most major items around 500 parts are already covered by nissan cirtified preowned car program. i like to have peace of mind but its not what i was told , which is not same as GOLD extended warranty. i am asking your opion if $1200 is still a good investment on this car that already has nissan s 100K mile power train warranty.

If you buy warranty and don't use it you will feel like your threw money away, on the other hand let it cover one item to the tune of $2K-10K and you will buy them for the rest of your life. I for one am a strong believer in them, I have seen them save people thousands of dollars over the years, and I refuse to sell a family or close friend a used car with out one. |

i know what you mean..the real question is do i feel lucky.. with nissan warranty of 36K/3 yr coverage , di these other non power train parts do indeed break? murano is very good car and i do understand cost of repair if it needed..

Replying to: candys (Jan 21, 2008 4:12 pm) There should be a phone number or two on your contract. Try using different routes on their voicemail to try to get a different person if you keep getting the same jerk. If the phone numbers on your contract aren't any good, I'd say you're shuxouttaluck. |
