I just bought an '05 LT Sedan, and didn't immediately purchase the extended warranty from the dealer. I was wondering if anyone here had any good or bad experiences with after market companies. AAA has one through Mercury Insurance, and then there are all of the web based companies. The dealer wanted ~2500 for the 84/100 (or the 72/100) either way it seemed like alot. The AAA one is 2000 for 84/100, and includes the tire damage, which the GM one didn't even cover. Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.

Here's the link: http://www.gmoutlet.com/quote/emailserver/majorguard/05mg2.htm I'll be buying mine within a month, since I'm running out of time. My advice: drive your car just shy of the 12/12k mark. Calculate your actual miles driven per year and buy the GMPP based on your driving habits. GMPP will add on the 72/100k on top of how many miles/time you have on your 'Bu at the time you submit the paperwork to Black. While I'm not pleased about paying that kind of money for an extended warranty, at least you are not paying the book value quoted you at the dealer.

Did you all know that prices for extended warranties can be negotiated too? When the dealer F&I person gives you a price, offer half. You can always move the price up until an agreement is made. Everything is negotiable when buying a car, and yes it does work. The price of the warranties are often twice as what they should be. Just some advice, the worst thing they say is NO. But you don't know unless you ask.

Replying to: illinialumni (Mar 06, 2005 3:38 pm) this is partly how they make their money. The first 3 years/36k miles are covered by the bumper to bumper warranty then theie warranty kicks in afterwards. So they have 3 years to invest your money before you start making claims to them.
