#1 of 7 Extended Warranties for Pre-Owned Infiniti M45 by billgould1 Apr 28, 2008 (6:22 am)
I recently purchased a 2004 Infiniti M45 with only 11,500 miles on the odometer. The 4 year/48,000 mile warranty is expired and I'm soliciting opinions about buying an extended warranty as well as any recommendations as to who to purchase from. Replies to this message: wm1 (Oct 23, 2008 6:33 pm)
#2 of 7 Extended warranty advice by drjrb Oct 16, 2008 (10:35 am)
I recently purchased a pre-owned 2006 M35.It has 28,000 miles. I have the factory warranty for up to 50,000. My husband says I need to call the dealership to purchase an extended warranty before it hits 30,000 miles because the price goes up dramatically and they will only do an additional 60,000 miles of coverage at that time.... The dealer quoted me $1,519 for the supreme coverage adding 80,000 mile coverage. Is this good???? Replies to this message: ghstudio (Oct 16, 2008 1:46 pm) billgould1 (Oct 16, 2008 1:46 pm)

Replying to: drjrb (Oct 16, 2008 10:35 am) I think you have to ask your dealer what "maintenance" you have to do to your car to maintain that "extended warranty" that he's offering. If the dealer insists that you do all of the packages that they've helpfully defined for you, you will be spending so much that the warranty cost almost doesn't matter. Those service packages are so packed with profit items it's almost a joke.   Read the service book that came with the car. You really don't have to do all those fluid changes/inspection things that are rolled into the $900 services offered by your dealer. In order to maintain the Nissan warranty, all you have to do is the most simple service option. In fact, I recommend that you ignore the dealer "packages" and just follow that simple maintenance schedule. Doing the premium maintenance recommended by the dealer and suggested by Nissan only puts money in their pockets.

Replying to: billgould1 (Apr 28, 2008 6:22 am) Get whatever additional coverage that you can. These engines burn more oil than they should. I have a 2004 m45 with 61,000. I should mention that I'm the original owner and bought the car with 11 miles on it. I have regularly changed my oil at 3,000-3,500 miles with a synthetic blend and am getting a new engine put in as I type. Most recently, it burned (not leaked) 3 qts in 2,700 miles. I first noticed the buring at 30,000 miles and brought it to the dealer. They ran tests and found no problems, but there is obviously an issue. I have seen a few other people complaining about similar problems. Just be sure to check your oil regularly.
#6 of 7 Infiniti Elite Extended Warranty vs. CPO Warranty by valentin650 Sep 15, 2009 (10:54 am)
Does anyone know if there is any difference in coverage/deductible between the Certified Preowned Warranty and the Infiniti Extended Elite Warranty? I am shopping for a used M35 now, and I could either get a CPO car from a dealer or buy a non-certified car (that is still under factory warranty) and purchase an additional Infitini extended warranty. Any significant difference between those two options? Replies to this message: billgould1 (Sep 15, 2009 11:24 am)

Replying to: valentin650 (Sep 15, 2009 10:54 am) I purchased an 2004 M45 used 18 months ago just after the original warranty ran out and purchased an extended warranty through my credit union. The price was much less than I expected and sure enough a couple of months later the air bag light went off and I paid $0.00 for a $400 repair.
