Replying to: allmet33 (Aug 08, 2007 6:54 am) Totally agree. And for me, Powertrain warranty is pretty much meaningless. The REAL factor is the Bumper-To-Bumper warranty. Now THAT!, is standing behind your product... But I have to admit, even the bumper to bumper warranty was probably 4th or 5th reason on my list when I bought, lower than Styling, Options, Price, Performance, etc. Still loving my Charger SXT. NO ISSUES whatsoever in two years now...

Replying to: discgolfer99 (Aug 08, 2007 8:59 am)  - 'a long warranty doesn't necessarily even IMPLY reliability and if it proves anything, it 'proves' that the company (and/or the car buyer) thinks that it MUST offer it to compete effectively'. To me - long warranties, if anything, are a 'red flag' of sorts - probably because I haven't owned a car in the last 15 years that ever required any kind of warranty service within 100k, total mileage of those 2 Chevys, 1 Ford, 4 Nissans, and 1 Toyota over a million miles.Therefore really don't care (Knock on wood) about a lousy 100k warranty - that kind of thing should be expected these days given any semblance of proper upkeep - don't you think?

Replying to: captain2 (Aug 08, 2007 2:40 pm) The Koreans know that they have had reliability issues in the past and that the reason they're offering these long warrantee to buy back business. I agree with the guy who's never had to do warrantee work on all of his cars foreign and domestic. I never have either and I've owned all GM and Honda. I'd like to see the Hyundai cheer leaders to report back at 100,000 or 150,000 miles to see what they think of them at that point.

Replying to: bobber1 (Aug 08, 2007 3:51 pm) GM is offering 100K and Chrysler is offering unlimited mileage on certain models. Why? Because, no matter whether the warranty is worth anything or not its a good marketing ploy to help sell cars.

Replying to: alexstore (Aug 08, 2007 7:54 am) Actually...a longer warranty would seemingly make someone want to hold on to a car for a longer period of time, however...someone like me...I ran through 100k miles in 4 years, so...

Replying to: captain2 (Aug 08, 2007 2:18 pm) I had a 96 Camry (4 cyl/ auto)and when the tranny went, AAMCO wanted $2300 to repair it...eventually, I found a shop to do it for $1800,but just imagine if it was one of the newer trannies!!! |

Replying to: bobber1 (Aug 08, 2007 4:41 pm) I would certainly agree on GM's transmissions however, as Rolls-Royce formerly used Turbo-Hydramatics.
