honest opinions about insurance

ImportConvert

I'm a fan. I paid 2600 for 7/70 bumper to bumper with 0 deductible. If any component of any value goes bad it 2ill pay for itself. Also, it will enhance resale as it will comfort a buyer that I'm not pawning my problems when I do sell.

pretty sure they're talking about ext warranties on different vehicles. not exactly apples to apples.

Wasn't worried about $2600. My car cost over $70K and came with a 3/36 bumper/bumper warranty.

If I trade/sell the car after 3 years, the only thing with a warranty will be the driveline (5/100). If I sell it after only 2 years, it will have a mere 12 months left.

How much easier do you think it will be to sell my car to someone with them knowing they have 3-4 years left on the bumper to bumper warranty? I am willing to bet that $2600 will either pay for itself, or save me a ton of trouble selling/trading the car.

I sure know I would pay $2600 more for a car with 3 years left on the bumper to bumper than for an identical one with nothing left on the comprehensive warranty.

Further, it's a 0 deductible plan through GM, serviceable at ANY GM dealership, with none of the BS associated with aftermarket warranty companies. It has a good reputation, and really does cover things.

So yes, if you want to call it "cool-aid", sure, but there are plenty of items on my car that could EASILY eclipse the $2600 I paid if they go out, and that will be nothing but money in the bank come trade-in or sale time.

3rd party warranty? Screw that.

Nissan/GM/Ford/etc. factory warranty service? I would jump on it. I know I sure have encountered plenty of cars when I worked at a dealership from a lot of automakers (Nissan included) that their owners wish had had a little more warranty left on them.

In your case, you don't have to mod that car and for the price of the car is worth it.

But is sad that for $70K the car only comes with a 3/36 warranty.

He also stated that it was for a GM car...It will have a new problem every 6 months. Especially after 50k miles.
