#6 of 2870 GM Protection Plan by geoffdgti Jun 07, 2003 (7:06 pm)
I mostly agree with zueslewis. An OEM extended warranty is the only way to go.   For GM, try these guys in Iowa: http://www.capperautocenter.com/   I've bought two Ford extended warranties from their sister Ford dealership and, at least for Ford extended warranties, they have the best prices I've ever seen. It's an 800 number so it can't hurt to at least call and get a quote.   You probably want to decide what plan you'd want first and get a price-gouging quote from the business/finance guy at your local dealership.   http://www.gmprotectionplan.com/ has some limited information but you really need to see a contract to understand what is covered and what isn't.

ask to see the F&I guy's cost sheet, and make your offer. Who pays retail anymore?
#8 of 2870 How about Chrysler by quigonjohn Jun 10, 2003 (9:42 am)
geoffdgti, or anyone else, do you know of a good source for a low price on a Chrysler Extended Warranty? I have WG now, (bought the car and warranty in Feb.), but with their financial troubles I may want to go for a Chrysler policy. THANKS!
#9 of 2870 You go to your dealer by zueslewis Jun 10, 2003 (9:52 am)
and make the same deal - offer $100 over their cost after they show you their price list.
#10 of 2870 WG has financial troubles? by tiresmokem Jun 12, 2003 (6:54 am)
quigonjohn mentioned that Warranty Gold has financial troubles. Is that right? What kind of troubles?   Thanks,   tiresmokem

tiresmokem, Checkout the "Warranty Gold Claims" thread for all the info.
#12 of 2870 How Much Is Cost by 98monte_ls Jun 13, 2003 (6:52 am)
I got a "retail" quote from my dealer. $1650. Now if I go into the F&I guy and tell him I will buy today if he can show me his cost I need to be prepared to do just that. do you have any idea what ballpark the "cost" is off retail? Reason is, if his cost + 100 is still not going to be competitive with a 3rd party warranty then maybe I'll forget about the dealer.   do you think that I should tell them that I got another quote on a warranty and if he can match it i will buy his? I got a couple, one from WG, which are significantly less than $1650.   bruce Replies to this message: mrburns1 (Mar 09, 2008 2:34 pm)
