I am in the process of purchasing a new Subaru Legacy. What is your experience with the extended warranties? Where did you buy them? Based on my own experience with one Legacy that we've had, it didn't seem that it was worth. Of course, I don't know how much the warranty repairs cost.

Replying to: george2000 (Jan 16, 2007 9:25 am) We're on our fourth Subaru, each with a Subaru Extended warranty. Two of our cars are still within the 3/36 warranty. The Extended warranty on my wife's 2000 OB covered a bad auto-dimming mirror (the part w/o labor is $265), and a tie-rod end link was covered for the person who bought the car from us. The cost of repairs was less than half the cost of the warranty. The Extended warranty on my 02 OB paid for an auto-dimming mirror and a clockspring estimated to cost between $500-$700, and part of the pourchase price of the warranty was refunded when I traded my car in before the warranty expired. Just make sure you don't pay full retail for an extended warrany.

So a 7/100 warranty saved me 7 years of AAA fees, or $497 in my case. That made it worthwhile to me. Caveat - make sure you pick a car you really like, and will keep. -juice |

I like the manufacturer Bumper to Bumper extended warranty, why you may ask since I'm fairly mechanically inclined and have a big shop to work on it? Electronics! Every car today has some very high priced electronics in it, and even though failure is unlikely, if it does, it can be quite costly to repair. 1 single incident could cost more than the warranty cost. -mike |

I was able to get the Gold Plus 7yrs/100,000 $50 deductible for $1275. Do you think this is reasonable? Thanks need some support

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 22, 2007 10:20 am) I want to thank you for your help when I posted the question a while back. I'm a little disappointed that the 7yrs is actually 4 more years . I guess I miss understood
