#62 of 66 Elantra '03 and warranty by senglory Sep 14, 2009 (4:55 pm)
Yesterday I bought Elantra '03 from private party. Today I heard about extended Hyndai's warranty for this model. Could somebody shed me the light on this situation? Am I eligible for getting this warranty from Hyndai and what should I do for this?
#63 of 66 Service Contracts by fred105 Sep 20, 2009 (11:13 am)
What's the general opinion of these service contracts that are offered at the time of purchase. I have never used these in the past, but being an older couple I was wondering if it is something to consider. Might be helpful for my wife if I was not around to deal with the auto maint. issues. It was a 10 year, 100,000 mile contract which covered a lot of items the Hyundai only covers 1 - 3 years, such as the air conditioning system, engine cooling system, some electrical units such as window motors. It was a little pricy around $1,800, with a $100 deductable per visit, but with todays rates, you could use that in a hurry.

Replying to: fred105 (Sep 20, 2009 11:13 am) That seems high for a service contract for a Hyundai, since you probably won't use it until at least year 6 (or after 60k miles), and beyond that you have the powertrain warranty for expensive repairs e.g. transmission. My advice is to put the $1800 away in an investment, and in five years you'll have more than $2000, which with the $100 deductible you'd pay anyway will cover many repairs in years 6-10--if you have them. Plus, how do you know you'll keep the Hyundai for 10 years?   Also, what you describes sounds more like an extended warranty than a service contract. A service contract typically pays for routine maintenance. A warranty pays the cost of (some) repairs. Replies to this message: fred105 (Sep 20, 2009 5:56 pm) wlbrown9 (Sep 29, 2009 9:36 am)

Replying to: backy (Sep 20, 2009 12:43 pm) Thanks for the reply and suggestion. Sounds like a wise suggestion. I thought it was a little expensie also. I was just thinking of those annoying things that tend to fail such as elect window motors, ect. Not ever owning a Hyundai I don't know anything about their reliability.I checked it is called Factory Plus Perferred Care Service Contract by CNA national warranty corp.

Replying to: fred105 (Sep 20, 2009 5:56 pm) CNA looks to be an independent (not Hyundai) warranty company. From the reports here they could be the poster child for why not to buy any extended warranty except one with the Manufacturer.   http://www.ripoffreport.com/Search/Company/CNA-National-Warranty-Coprporation.as- px
