#45 of 47 A little support by steve333 Mar 25, 2008 (6:48 am)
Thats fine, but if someone came on and said they were out $1400 I'd be a tad supportive. The dealer did pressure sell the warranty and yes we're to blame for signing it and I admit I did try and convince myself that we did the right thing, but when someone goes into a GM dealer and requests a GM warranty thats what they should get. Buying a car is a pressure situation and I thought GM would be surprised to hear that the dealer put down GM's own warranty in favor of a third party. They were not pleased about it, but like you said they wouldnt be able to do anything about it. Lesson to all out there-NEVER buy a Third Party Warranty.

Replying to: steve333 (Mar 25, 2008 6:48 am) Thats fine, but if someone came on and said they were out $1400 I'd be a tad supportive. My first response to you was supportive-I suggested you find out if the dealer was responsible via your contract. You treated that advice with the same attitude you treated my (an others') advice two years ago when you bought the contract. I recall one poster even warned you that API could go bankrupt.   I have great sympathy for people who are taken advantage of, but when they allow themselves to be snookered in spite of excellent advice, my sympathy wanes.   We've got a couple who bought a new Malibu here. They are very nice, very old people. Their car is 4 years old, has all of 6500 miles on it. My service manager makes a trip to their house about twice a year to charge the battery for them (for free). Mrs. Malibu showed up a few months ago with a shiny new service contract, she paid $2600 for it.She needs a service contract like she needs a hole in her head. (the boss will goodwill any repairs it needs for as long as he can) It broke my heart to see, though there's nothing I can do except encourage cancellation. One of those fly-by-night companies that auto-calls people got ahold of her and convinced her to buy. If she'd called me, I could have saved her $2600.    Lesson to all out there-NEVER buy a Third Party Warranty. The smartest thing you've said all month.
