Replying to: carnetguy (Jul 07, 2009 10:03 am) Always buy a original manufacturer ext warr. ,,In your case buy a BMW ext warr issued by BMW.You can buy it online from any BMW dealer or you can buy it from your local BMW dealer. Search BMW forums on Google and look for Ext warr in those.they have a dealer listing that sell BMW warr. Again,never buy an aftermarket warr...Always buy Manuf warr.. |

I recently bought a new Chrysler and as part of the F & I song and dance they offered me an EW for only $1395. (What a bargain). Just to be nice I said I would think it over and asked to see the details to review over night. The F&I guy ripped the cover page off the contract and handed it to me but nothing else. Later I looked over this piece of paper (which had very hard to read fine print) and saw that some parts referred to other pages which the guy had not given me. Of particular interest was mention of "exclusions" which of course were on the pages not given to me. I also noticed that nowhere on the paper was the name "Chrysler". This led me to believe that I was being offered a third party warranty not backed by Chrysler. So my question is this: does Chrysler offer it's own extended warranty? I've been offered EWs in the past and never had such a bad presentation. The F&I guy acted very hurt when I mentioned this but even if I had wanted an EW I would have never bought it from him.

I had purchased my 3rd warranty, 1--original, then I had an extended at the dealer, and then a 3rd. I paid $2600 for it over 2 years ago and have yet to need it. But I was reading today in my newspaper about a lady who took her car in for warranty work and found out she had NO warranty. it was Continental Warranty, the SAME one I had bought. I got right on a phone number and found out some company(Royal Administrative Services) is paying out what is left on the warranty, but this company has been out of business over a year. Why do I have to lose that money and was never told? That is fraud isn't; it? What do I do about this? I already have a nasty message about they better give me my money back as I never used the warranty and I was not told nor never would have been except if I went to the dealer for warranty claim. That is highway robbery. I need help .......................... Adelle
