#36 of 40 Re: Help? Bought car late last nite and need to decide on ext warranties! [dujox] by valorie Sep 01, 2008 (10:52 pm)
Replying to: dujox (Sep 01, 2008 6:19 pm) First, thank you very much for your reply... although I need to let you know that I had to make a decision before I got this response, so here's what I did: I declined Lo Jack and Extended Warranty plans but did get the Millennium t&w plan. My reasoning: (1) I have 2 new tires on car - the rear ones - and the fronts have about 50% life according to the dealership, (2) I was told that the dealership never repairs, and only replaces the tires, (3) the high cost of the required tires (224 on one website someone referred me to, and even more if bought at the dealership) (4) reading so much online about how the tires often have to be replaced after just 12-15,000 miles, and last (5) they re doing lots of road repairs in my commuting/driving areas   I did ask if they could do anything about the price, and at least got it down $100 (better than nothing...although I had no idea that sales tax would be charged on price!)   What is your experience with run flat tires?   And, why do you recommend trying to get the Extended Maint warranty? Becuase BMW labor and parts costs are so high? I was hoping that with an 'almost new' car like this, I wouldn;t have to worry about much in terms of maint or repair costs within the next 5 years...   Interested in hearing more... as I apparently have a lot more to learn (and the dealer did not have an owner's manual to give me yet!)   Thanks Replies to this message: bmwadvise (Sep 24, 2008 2:45 pm) fedlawman (Sep 24, 2008 9:43 pm) dujox (Sep 25, 2008 4:58 pm)

Replying to: valorie (Sep 01, 2008 10:52 pm) The extended maintenance warranty will pay for itself within the first year assuming you drive the car 12-15k miles per year. Brakes cost around $850 per axle, oil changes are about $200, microfilters $250. at 100k spark plugs due $600. note; a maintenance warranty is strictly maintenance, it will not cover mechanical repairs.

#39 of 40 It Depends. . . by cdnpinhead Sep 25, 2008 (4:22 pm)
on whether you're buying or selling. Buying extended maintenance is a dumb idea, but selling it makes money. These things aren't a charity.   Are you feeling unlucky? Really, really unlucky? Then buy the thing.
