They said that if anything at all happens to the paint (obviously not being keyed etc.) that they will repaint any or all of the car at no cost to me.

I went ahead and purchased it. But no extended warranty. I personally never purchase extended warranties. The finance guy was pushing me on it for like 30 minutes.. kinda starting pissing me off. I figured somehow it was in his best interest to do this? Some sort of kickback?

Paint is covered on the bumper to bumper with all the normal exceptions.

I bought a CPO 2009 370Z and got them to throw in the 7yr/100K mile Wrap warranty as part of the deal on the car. However they figured it I didn't care as I told them my price OTD for the car period. This is the warranty with no deductible, covers the rental if needed, etc.

The price they put on there was $1227.

I also got the 5yr wheel warranty as well. The guy started off at like $500 for that, and I was like no way, and at the end he said ok, $308. One wheel had a small scrape on it so I bit and will have that repaired soon. That one wheel repair alone pays for the wheel warranty.

I'm normally not big on buying warranties, but since they threw it in with the price of the car I figured what the heck. I normally do all my own work on my cars, but if some expensive electronics go out (like the key lock) I'm good.

If you're not good at working on cars, it's not a bad deal for the peace of mind if you can get it for $1500 - $1600 IMO.

Yeah, it sucks if you don't use it, but take it from my experience, if ANYTHING at all goes wrong or isn't EXACTLY how it was when you first bought the car, take it to the dealer and have them fix it, YOU should make your warranty worth it!


And if that's your 370 in your profile picture, it looks great!

Yes, it is! I took this at a little park in Marblehead, OH on the shores of Lake Erie. Thanks by the way.

Using your warranty
 
The KEY to getting the most out of your warranty is to take it to the dealershit for EVERY SINGLE SMALL thing... Make sure your car stays 100% new. Door handle jiggles, fix it, door vibrates, fix it, door locks don't open as smoothly as they did before, get it fixed!!! It's not like it's costing you any money...

They are all the same, they are great if you need them but there's hell to pay if you need them and don't have them.

Just purchased the 96month, 100k mile Security+Plus Gold Preferred warrantee from Santa Rose Nissan. I paid 1,650 w/ a $50 deductable.
Here is why Santa Rose can sell so cheap... Unlike typical dealers who make commission on each individual warrantee sold, Santa Rosa gets paid based on sales numbers. This method obviously passes the discount on to the customer. They have an e-Commerce site that you can log into to buy the warrantee. You must be emailed a user ID and password from the selling agent at Santa Rosa first. It’s totally legit and by far the best price you can find.
You do have to get your vehicle inspected before the warrantee can be applied to your car. This can be done at your local dealer for around 100$ I believe (I’ve yet to get it inspected)
I’m pretty stoked that my Z is covered for another 5 years, 100k :happydance:

Keep in mind that the insurance company (and that's all it is) is in business to make a profit and the only way it can make a profit is to charge enough in fees to cover all their potential exposure and then some plus these plans are a HUGE profit center for the dealer (and that profit has to be covered as well).

You will be far, far better off to take whatever money you would spend on an extended warranty and put it in the bank...better yet, have a real emergency fund so that paying for vehicle repairs when they happen aren't a big deal.

I can see this on cars that are cheap to repair. I bought an extended warranty on my Mitsubishi Eclipse 98 GSX. Good thing I did because as within the first two months of ownership this being a used car it had $6500 in warranty work done.
I had a $50 dollar deductible. Since the warranty could be used at any dealer or shop. My friend who owned the shop would do all the repairs. He would replace the parts with high performance parts. Need new trans got a racing trans, clutch racing, turbo big 16g turbo.. At no extra or if the part was a little more then I cover that cost no extra labor. That is the bomb!

I know everything for the z is expensive so I am happy to have the warranty and will be happier if I find out my friends shop can work on it. LOL!

not really sure what you mean? the gold security plus warranty is just like the factory bumper to bumper oem warranty

Thechidz 03-05-2012 06:44 PM

just placed my order for the maximum gold preferred security plus plan 96 months 120k miles ($0 deductible) came to $2340 total. Went back and forth between that and the 72 month 75k miles. reason I decided to go with the max was the 0% financing option and the fact that the warranty can be transferred or cancelled and prorated should I decide to sell the car etc. I feel pretty good having the peace of mind at a very reasonable rate.
