honest opinions about insurance

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.
