Gold Plus Extended Warranty -- worth it?

Just bought a 2013 Outback and, after saying no to our dealer's pitch on the Subaru extended warranty, we are rethinking.

Does anyone here have access to a copy of the actual contract for the Subaru Added Security, with all the terms, conditions and limitations? It is not the brochure or the webpage, but the actual "fine print" of the contract that we are looking for. Does anyone know where to find this contract document?

Thanks in advance.

kendall in fairbanks offered 7/100,000 gold + for $2990 for my 11 forester with 27,000 (2 yrs). i intend to drive it until the wheels fall off, but am unsure if I should spend that money. i can purchase the added security for $840 for 80,000 directly from subaru. i would appreciate your feedback!!

$3k is too much for any warranty. That's the cost of the catastrophe you're trying to protect yourself from.

$840 is more like it, plus it includes roadside assistance and that's worth something.

$2,990 for the 7/100 (zero deductible) is pretty much MSRP, if not MSRP exactly. I purchased that same Subaru Gold Plus warranty for $1,500 even through Mastria Subaru last December on my '10 Forester. It had about 35,500 miles on it at the time.

Kendall didn't want to deal with me, either. They never have (Kendall or Auto Svc before them), actually, which is why I still haven't purchased a car from them. That said, I used Subaru Bucks for my warranty, so it didn't cost me a penny. The man at Mastria actually quoted me a few dollars under the $1,500 mark, but I couldn't have any of the residual back, so I told him to just write it up at $1,500 even.

I do have to fight with Kendall about what constitutes a warranty item, though, which is probably hassle I could have avoided if I had drank their Kool Aid. Basically, we're stuck with them for service by virtue of our isolated location, but we have nearly infinite choices for everything else!

Now differnt people have different kinds of hobbies, for example some people like swimming, some people like running and some people like hiking. However now a lot of people have developed a new kind of hobby, it is metal detecting and there are also device that have been invented to help people with their hobby such as the gold metal detectors and the metal detectors and so on and you also can make a good choice as there are many types that are provided for you to choose.
