#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)

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)

#17 of 2870 Extended Warranty Corp by 98monte_ls Jun 14, 2003 (1:52 pm)
Anyone heard of this one - called Extended Auto Warranty Corp. insured by Capital Assurance?   their warranty is nearly as good as the mfgr warranty, but with GM it will only "extend" my coverage to 5 years/75k, which is only 3 more years/30k more miles. Extended Warranty Corp has one that they say begins when the mfgrs warranty expires and goes for a full 5 years/100k miles which is 2 years longer and 25k longer than GM. I plan on keeping the car long, unless I get a really good job which I doubt I will in this job market.   GM's so-called 5 year warranty is mis-represented because you are ONLY buying 2 years - the full car is covered until 36k for FREE no matter how many $1000's you pay for their warranty.   bruce
#18 of 2870 And with the private company by zueslewis Jun 14, 2003 (4:31 pm)
you're also just buying what's past the basic warranty.   Private "warranties" aren't "warranties" at all - they're insurance policies. Policies that have no legal liability to repair your car - at all.
