I have not owned a Subaru and just purchased a 2010 outback v6. I was told I had to make a decision on the warranty at the time of purchase and stupid me said yes after getting an additional discount of $200 down to $1,795. From the sounds of other posts I can get the same cover later Gold plus 7 yr/100k. I plan on having the car at least 5 years and hopefully much longer so should I tell dealer no and get this warranty taken off and revisit down the road. Biggest concern is all the electrical stuff these cars have now!

And increasing labor rates - $95 an hour nowadays for a dealer mechanic around here.
 
FWIW, it's an H6, not V6.

If you can get it removed, I would go for it. You can add the extended warranty at any time during the factory warranty period (3 years or 36,000 miles) and will most likely be able to get it at a price much lower than you paid.

Hi - in Sep I bought the Subaru Gold Plus 7yr/100k/ded $100 at $1,200 ... I can email you price of the other options, just click my name to have my email addr.
You can purchase this from any Subaru dealers, plus you can do it any time before the new car 3yr/30k warranty expires.
The good thing to purchase early is you lock in the price and have the choice of spread out into 10 months credit card payment without any interest.

Sounds good also.
 
I think there is a surcharge for those on turbos, so that may be why we see price variance.

This is my story about extended warranty with Subaru. Do not ever let the dealer to take advantage of you when purchasing extended warranty. When I bought my car at Liberty Subaru Libertyville IL I thought the best place to buy the extended warranty would be the same dealership. Well I was wrong. Mike Gottlieb (finance guy) contacted me and wanted to sell me warranty 7year 70k miless originally for $1,600 (100 deductible). I have refused immediately and he came down in price to $1300 what is still way to high. Than I started to call around all the Subaru dealers in Chicago land area. I will post all the prices. Just to let you know I have found the same warranty for $820 please see the prices down. All the plans are Subaru Gold Plus extended warranty plans.

Funny thing happened. I have ended up purchasing the extended warranty form the dealer that was out of state. Found them on ebay, decided to contact them and they were able to give me the best price

There is guy called Don he deals with all the online orders.
He gave me the price on 7 year 100 000 miles Gold Plus extended warranty for $1175 ($100 deductable) Also you can do a 10 month plan no interest.
This was a easy process. All over the phone and fax. I am waiting for my papers from Subaru.

I have several weeks before my OB will arrrive, so I'm just beginning to read about warranty stuff. A perhaps dumb, but anyway a simple question.
 
When you all mention 7/100K, can I assume that is that on top of the standard 3/36K warranty? Otherwise you would have to amortize the $ cost over only 4 years and 64K?

I honestly didn't know I could negotiate the price, too late for that. But I did buy the extended gold because in rural VT on isolated roads with no one around I really like the road side assistance. I have used it in the past in my other subarus and it really helped out with the wind whipping and negative 20 and I needed help. And with my new 2010 if I don't use it I get my money back. Hoping for the best, but not willing to take my chances and planning to keep this car util 2020 or longer if it keeps going.

It calculates from the day you bought the new car... yes it is add-on, so the $1200 is actually for the rest of 4 yr / 64k mi after the standard3 yr/36k mi.
