quick warranty question

I am interested in Imprezas old models before 2012 (4 door or 5 door) and I will probably go with a CPO.
I went here: http://www.subaru.com/vehicles/certified-pre-owned.html?s_kwcid=+CPO%20+subaru

Never bought a CPO before and so confused by warranty issues, so here are my questions:

If the car has some original warranty left, is that going to be transferred to me?

Where should I look for terms conditions of 6year/100,000 mile Powertrain plan? How do I know what's covered/not covered ?

If I am not satisfied with 6year/100,000 mile Powertrain plan, I should buy Added Security Extended Service Contracts (either Classic or Gold Plus). Correct ?

Thanks Subaru owners !

The balance of the factory warranty would transfer to you, yes.

I was hoping to answer your last question on the web:

But it even says in fine print:

For complete warranty information, including coverage and exclusions, see your Subaru dealer.

And yes you can extend coverage:

#6 of 8 Warranty costs by psouthworth

I've just left the dealership that I am purchasing an Impreza wagon at. I wanted to think about the "add-ons" that the F&I guy was trying to push at me. I drive in the 8000-10000 range per year as this is a second car for the family.

He started out quoting the Subaru Gold EW at $2200, but quickly started dropping down as I backed off. He finally quoted $1500 for the 7yr/70,000 gold warranty. Was that high? What is the actual dealer cost of this warranty? He said, in the end, that he would give it to me "$5 over cost." Did he?

No, that isn't $5 over cost. You should be able to get the 7/100 with zero deductible for $1,500, so the 7/70 (you didn't mention deductible amount) should be less.
