#32 of 39 I will try to post as a new thread by kellmac Oct 02, 2009 (7:29 am)
I just realize I should have started a separate thread.   Thanks for the responses on the warranty question but I'm also looking for feedback on Carfax versus Autocheck. ~Cath

Replying to: ateixeira (Oct 01, 2009 11:14 am) Actually it started shortly after I got the car. Cylinder #4 on the 2.5T cars is prone to have bad ring-lands. It slowly started to burn oil up to 1q/700 miles. They replaced the turbo first thinking that was the problem, So I essentially have a new motor (Rings and Pistons + Turbo) now.   Flemington Subaru tried to write up a ton of "aftermarket" parts on my car even though 90% are Subaru parts and the other 10% were ones not covered (shocks, tires, battery, etc) They tried to line me up for a warranty denial but didn't realize that I have a direct line to CFO.... It didn't end well for them after trying to deny the claim and actually out and out lied on the writeup.     -mike Replies to this message: bob_b1 (Nov 23, 2009 6:18 am)

Replying to: paisan (Oct 02, 2009 2:53 pm) Actually I think this is the forum where I should be posting about warranty. Purchased my car over the weekend (2010 Outback Premium with AWP CVT) The finance department at the dealership was on vacation so they used the outside company which could care less about me. So getting any deal on extended warranty was lost cause. Today I will contact my own dealer to acquire more info on the warranty, and also few more over the next few days to see what each has to offer. I am just concerned about the new transmission, basically I only care about things power train, and I would like to keep my car for the next 8-10 years moving. So here are few questions.   1. What is the major difference between basic and gold plus warranty? Will basic warranty cover parts that are vital for my car to just move? (do not care about radio or other things that are not vital) 2. Does having less added optional equipment on outback will cost leas for warranty? I have nothing accept all weather package. 3. How much should I pay for 7yr-100K or 7-85K with $50 or $100 deductible? 4. Did any of you ever purchase warranty over the internet. I found Subaru dealer Mastria Subaru Raynham MA selling their warranty on eBay? 5. and final question. Your thoughts on 3rd party warranty.

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!

Replying to: mnsubaruowner (Nov 24, 2009 11:11 am) And increasing labor rates - $95 an hour nowadays for a dealer mechanic around here.   FWIW, it's an H6, not V6.

Replying to: mnsubaruowner (Nov 24, 2009 11:11 am) 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.

Replying to: mnsubaruowner (Nov 24, 2009 11:11 am) 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.

Replying to: bigdadi118 (Nov 25, 2009 8:51 pm) Sounds good also.   I think there is a surcharge for those on turbos, so that may be why we see price variance.
