Replying to: howardru (Jun 03, 2008 7:01 am) Most ext warranty does not cover tear and wear items such as suspension, bushing, belts, bulbs, hoses, etc. Does the AAA cover them? If not, you can't call it "bumper to bumper", can you? I, in general, don't like 3rd party warranty since the claim process is tedious and sometimes inconvenient. For example, when I had my BMW with ext warranty (3rd party), the wiper broke on Dec, 24th (no kidding) when it was raining very hard those couple of days. I had to get it fixed, but the warranty company was off for holiday. Remember, for 3rd party warranty, usually one needs to get it authorized before fixing anything. If not, it is NOT covered. My choices were - wait for 3-4 days (Christmas holidays) for authorization - fix it out of my pocket Anyway, it may be just me. I prefer factory-provided warranty. In CA, no one can sell ext warranty unless it is sold through the dealers. Even with that, my BMW dealer (who sold me the warranty), could only give me those two lousy choices.

Replying to: ceric (Jun 03, 2008 6:46 pm) I had used AAA for my old Ford car and truthfully did use the warranty about 5 times to repair front ends, and one time to fix a noise in the dashboard that cost over $800 to find. I did have 1 or 2 problems with the Ford dealer reaching an "approver". However one call to the VP of the New England AAA services, got my bill paid. I have those names again if I ever need to use them. The AAA services here uses a 3rd party, Member Care Services, to manage the warranty. AAA being a better business operation, along with everything they promote and subcontract has the power to make sure its members are serviced. Here is the link from the Central Mass website. http://www.corpmsc.com/Splash_Home.aspx Bumper to bumper, never covers normal wear and tear. Here is what is NOT covered. I have a copy of the full contract if you want me to email it to you.

Replying to: howardru (Jun 04, 2008 6:17 pm) If I was not mistaken, OE warranty (so called basic warranty) covers most wear and tear within the period. Therefore, they call that bumper-to-bumper warranty. In other words, I believe the new vehicle warranty (basic warranty) covers - hoses, bulbs, belts, suspension, etc. for 3yr/36K (take CX-9 for example) - rotor/pads, battery, etc for a shorter term. Anyway, the AAA sounds like a good deal with $0 deductible. Thanks for sharing.

Replying to: yipmo (Jun 17, 2008 4:55 pm) I think its was $1269 for "extension" of the 3/36 to 5/50 or $1400 to 6/60. I think it was $0-$100 deductible depending on the issue, genuine Mazda warranty is what he said, read from a binder but kept it open toward him only so we couldn't see page. Frankly, we were so frazzled (was at the end of the day we bought) I couldn't analyze the offer and was just amused that the Finance guy was trying to sell us something else. Gut told me to turn it down. These guys know human nature and could tell my wife and I were drained after 3-4 hours of negotiating for our new CX-9/trade-in, not to mention my tired 17 month-old needing to get home. Strike when they are weakest, I guess. One thing he tried to scare us with that he said the above warranty would cover would be wheel/tire replacement for $0 deductible, but I really couldn't tell you the specifics about replacment for tires. I think he did say wheels would be replaced, and quoted the price of a new 20" aluminum alloy wheel at $700-750 After a pretty good aftermarket experience with AutoWarranty for my Audi, I thought I'd wait to see what else was out there if we keep the car for more than 3 years. Any thoughts on the Mazda plan? Anyone have a similar offer? Anyone go for it at point-of-sale?

Replying to: jnyepu (Jul 20, 2008 3:28 pm) I am glad that you did not purchase it on the spot 'cause it does not seem to be a great deal. Check here. http://www.authorizedfordwarranties.com (click Mazda on the top, and click Prics & Purchase on the left, enter models and current mileage of yours) There are four levels of Mazda warranty. Assuming that your finance guy was quoting you the best (Total Care), it is still way too much as you can see from the table. You have until 3/36K OE warranty expires to commit to buy ext warranty. So, no hurry now. Thanks for sharing. |

Anyone know if the warranty would cover things like the factory installed GPS, all the voice recognition stuff etc?
