Be aware of them. I had my warranty bought from API. When it was time to use it, I took my Lexus to San Antonio Lexus and was informed that I will have to pay for the repair and then submit my invoice to get reimbursed and wait 90 days for the money to get here. After 90 days, I called and was given the run around till I got hold of someone. I come to find out that my money will come from an insurance company since API has a pending case of bankruptcy in court. The lady at the insurance company told me that they are not paying any claims, even if approved, till the bankruptcy case is over. It has been 8 months and I'm still waiting. I'm thinking of seeking professional legal help. These &^%* need to pay what they owe everybody.

I know exactly what you're going through as I got burned by the Warranty Gold bankruptcy. The best advice I can give you is to move on and chalk it up to lessons learned. You won't see a penny. It's all tied up in the bankruptcy courts and all perfectly legal so don't bother getting legal help.

I am pretty sure that they are administered by these folks.
Ethos Group
They called on me one time a few years ago and I seem to remember something about Olympic Care. They only came once though. If I had a $10 bill for every AM warranty compnay I have given the bums rush to over the years I would be retired.

AVOID "Warranty Direct" I have a Interstate plane through them. Bought the "Diamond Platinum" Plan. the best they had in 2001. They SUCK BIG TIME. They lie- cheat and hassel the repair facilities. They pay slowly. They always come up with an excuse NOT TO PAY! I just had work done on my Ford Truck and a repair was authorized for payment on Thursday. Guess What...I'm still waiting for them to pay the repair facility! No pay mean NO VEHICLE unless I want to pay the entire amount myself and HOPE they keep up their end of the deal! THEY SUCK! Well it's SUNDAY today and guess what else? THEY ARE CLOSED ON SUNDAY! Guess I'll be on the phone another 2 hours with their payment dept...then MAYBE they will pay the facility by closing time on MONDAY. ANOTHER DAMN day without my repaired car! WARRANTY DIRECT - SUCKS BIG TIME- AVOID THEM AT ALL COST! Get a real extended warranty from the car manufacturer. Avoid 3rd party warranties. Any more questions? Contact me at NautiLust1 aol.com!

1. Yes and that's the best/cheapest time to buy the warranty. If you do what some of the stupid people here say and buy it right before the manufacturer's warranty runs out you will pay a lot more and still get the same coverage.
2. NEVER BUY A WARRANTY ONLINE OR OVER THE PHONE! Read some posts under this as to why. If you buy from the dealer you have a face to go to and not just a phone. Also Nissan's Gold Preferred Warranty is a great warranty.
3. Warranty price has nothing to do with the price of the car. If it's a AWD/4WD Murano expect between 900-1800 depending on how long/how many miles you drive.

EW on 2002 Buick LeSabre - through GM??

Last week I purchased a 2002 Buick LeSabre, and am looking for an Extended Warranty. Most of the posts here discourage third party warranties, but when i checked on the GM site, I was told that this vehicle would not be covered. How, then, can I get a manufacturers warranty, or will I have any option to a third party warranty? (My dealer offers a warranty, but I wasn't prepared to pay as much as they were asking. But I'm getting lost in all the "options" out there, and having second thoughts!)

You won't find a recommendation here for anything but a manufacturer backed warranty. And if your vehicle doesn't qualify, then I guess your SOL.
