Yes you can transfer it BUT, why pay for it if it doesn't cover anything until the original warranty has expired. You wouldn't buy car ins from 2 different companies on 1 car would you??? All I am saying is buying it before you need it is a waste.

Paid 899. for security gold plan 75,000 mi or 5 years for my 370z. You can barter the price of the warranty shop around at other dealers for the best price. Bought same warranty for o4 350z kept 5 years money well spent air issues whole in radiator towed in on flat bed and 3 oil leaks had to be repaired would have cost 4-5,000 out of pocket with out warranty.

i know this is an old thread, but wanted to ask you since you are a detailer. I have a 2010 370Z that has 1800 miles on it. I took it to get detailed and the guy told me about some "spots" where the clear coat is cracking-he said it looked like tree sap did it. The Simoniz people sent an adjuster who said it could be wet sanded and re clear coated then re Simonized. I also took it to a body shop who said it would need to be repainted -that you cannot take just the clear coat off.
Which one is more correct? Since the warranty with the clear coat is the one in question-I called Simoniz directly. Thanks for your help.

I paid $4100 for Gold Warranty and the maintenance program when I bought the car. I cancelled it the next week. Almost 6 months later, I am still waiting for my refund. Give me back my money!!!!!

I paid $1800 for the top line extended warranty.

I was never a fan of them till I got talked into one for my Lightning. It cost me $1400 way back in 2000 when I bought it new. After 4 years it blew a sparkplug out of the head (which turns out to be a know issue with the 5.4 liter engine), cost of repair was $3200. I then had a trace break on the dashboard and lost the backlighting, cost of repair was $900.

I figured with the level of technology in the fully loaded Roadster I wanted the insurance and $1800 divided by 7X12 comes out to costing me about 22 bucks a month...

Works for me.

370Z three months old getting repainted.
 

thank God I had it...my hood trunk and compartment behind the convert top is getting repainted....it is down to the metal right now....not costing me a cent. I have the extended warranty-Gold Plus. Paint is under my plan. It would cost me 5-7k to repaint...got several estimates before I crabbed at the dealer. spots caused clear coat to crack-theory is tree sap.

I had one of those. :shakes head: He kept pushing it and pushing it and pissed my wife off. (We were both buying cars on the same day)

As Many said I would wait the 3 years and purchase it towards the end. But someone mentioned you have 90 days to purchase this? So which is it? Can you wait 2-3 years and then decide to purchase?

You have until the manufacturers warranty expires to purcahse a nissan extended warranty.


3 years or 36k miles

I believe they charge/cost more after the first year, so need to weigh the few hundred difference.

I got the dealer to add it in 7/70k gold Nissan extended warranty on a 2009 used.

I just bought a 2011 370z and was considering the extended warranty. On my last car (Toyota) I was able to buy from a Toyota Dealer out of state and saved hundreds of dollars on the warranty. Does anyone know if Nissan will allow this or has anyone tried it? I don't see any threads here about people trying to actually save money on the extended warranty.

Should be no problem.these extended warranties can be bought from any Nissan dealer in the country. They will quote different prices, so I got the warranty i wanted by sending out price quotes.

it's cheaper to get one as soon as you buy the car, else, as the original 3 yr 36K comes close to expiration, it will be more expensive to purchase an extended, plus the ordeal of getting your car inspected at the dealership.. another added expense.

If you get an extended within first 30 days of new car purchase, don't need to submit the inspection report..

Good luck

I've done some research on this and people are recommending this Nissan dealer in California for good extended warranty pricing for Security+Plus plans and $50 deductible and it assumes you have under 12,000 miles. Can someone verify these are good prices?

Bingo!

That's the dealer w/ the best prices i have found online. I dealt with him.. painless progress.. contact me if you some assistance..

When I turned down the extended warrenty they obvious couldn't believe it. Had to tell them no three times. Plans I have with car it will be out of warrenty anyways. They ended up giving it to me for free. She said happy new year. And I made sure it was.

Excellent, glad I found the right one. I bought the car on 23 December so I'm still under 30 days, I was thinking about getting the 96 Month 120,000 Mile Coverage. What is everyone else getting? This is a complicated car and I'm sure it is expensive to have work done to it so I don't mind paying for this. If I sell it, it's transferable and if I don't use it I can get back a refund of the remainder of the warranty.

With all the electronics, sensors, high end navigation unit, a complicated transmission, it does make sense to get one. I had a mercedes sl 500 before this car, and the extended warranty covered $18,000 worth of expenses.. so yes, it's definitely a peace of mind. I am quite certain the Z will be ten times more reliable, plus i was little bummed to find out nissan only offers a standard 3 yrs > 36,000 bumper to bumper, while most manuf. offer at least 4 and 50K.. anyhow for my peace of mind, i got the extended.. some say it's a waste of money, but from my personal experience, they are invaluable when you actually do need them.

I thought i would chime in becasue i am that "smuck" some of you refer to... haha i know most finance guys are hated by customers but the fact is alot of people are on a tight budget and if something breaks on a car they simply cannot afford to repair it. That is who they are mainly intended for. I work at a Buick GMC store and we use a warranty company called EASYCARE. They are the only motor trend recomended warranty. As a finance guy we are only paid off what we sell... (warranty, dent care, key care, paint care, and rate mark-up)... so you can see why we push it so hard... i cant look-up cost on a nissan plan but easycare "total care" will cover anything that that will.....(maybe more), the dealer cost on a 2011 370z for a 72/100k was $1325 with a 100 deductible. As a finance guy with some morals i will mark it up anywhere from 250-1000. another thing to think about is the easycare i use offers a 0% for up to 18 months. Most warranty companies have that option for ya. I can anwser any questions yall have about any product....hope this helps...

I bought the 96 month 120,000 mile Gold Preferred warranty. So far I must say I'm not impressed with this dealers customer service. I call them for some additional information and they answered my questions but seemed like they could care a less if they sold me this $1800 warranty or not. Also the person I spoke to didn't really seem that well informed. I told him my car was 3 weeks old and had 450 miles on it and I asked if it needed an inspection and he said no. After I buy the warranty online I get an automated EMAIL from them saying that ALL cars must have an inspection with NO EXCEPTIONS. I EMAIL them about this and 24 hours later still no response. Also asked about getting a refund on the warranty if I never used it and he said that it's Nissans policy to not refund warrantys. I know this is partially untrue because I do beleive at the very least I have a certain number of days after I purchase the warranty to back out of it. I know with my Toyota warranty I was able to get a prorated refund on the unused portion even after a couple years into it.

You can back out of a warranty.. That is a fact. Once you buy a warranty, then, your paperwork will be mailed to you. You have 15 days to sign and return to it. I am pretty sure, if you don't return the paperwork, they will void the contract and return your money. Because, the warranty is not in effect until they receive the signed paperwork and tell Nissan USA to activate it. So, you can definitely tell them, no thanks, refund my money.


Even if you do purchase the warranty w/ the signed paperwork, you should be able to cancel the warranty. Ask them specifically where in the contract or website it states, they are non-refundable.

Extended Warranty is were the dealer makes the money and the biggest waste of money on the consumer side!

You don't say? I've never heard that before! Seriously this is a very old arguement and I'm amazed people are still making posts like this. You either love or hate extended warranties and EVERYBODY has had a different experience with them. I'll come back to this forum in 8 years when my warranty expires and let you know if I made my $1800 BACK.

Agree

Just got back from the dealer after canceling my extended warranty.
Initially paid $2190 for 84 mo./100,00 mi. They really tried to get me to not cancel but after 20 minutes of discussion it's now canceled.

But I'm kinda having cancelers remorse? :confused:

They said that it will cost me more to buy it again later and all third party extended warranties don't cover what the original extended warranty would have. Is this true?

@dwntwnall4u

I did my research when I bought the extended warranty. First I looked at a third party company i.e. Geico's extended warranty and compared it to Nissan Security Plus, and it was a no brainer.

Take a look at the following chart:

http://www.nissanextendedwarranty.co...erageChart.pdf

For the Gold-Preferred, take a look at what's covered.. Exactly, practically every major component, electrical, navigation,etc.. part on the car is warrantied.

When I went to Geico and asked to see a similar covered list, they refused to show it to me. That's when I went with Nissan's extended coverage. I got mine for 5yrs, 75,000 miles since I plan to keep it that long. Dealer was correct, the price of purchasing an extended does go up, the further you get from your purchase date, simply b/c the car has more tear and wear. So, I figured why not just get it now, and not worry about it.

To each his/or her own, but from my experiences, every extended warranty i have bought in the past has fully paid for itself by covering unexcepted major repairs.

Which dealer is this?? I will purchase the 84/70k or 84/100k

Sent you Private mail

If you regret canceling, just buy it mail order and still save significantly, or ask your dealer to resell it for the mail order price :)

Thanks :tup:

Just got my Official service agreement in the mail from Nissan yesterday. I got the Gold Prefered 8 year 120,000 mile warranty. I'm confused about a couple of things after reading the agreement. On the Roadside Assistance Coverage, is there a limit on how often you can use this? It doesn't go into any detail about this at all. I know with AAA I can only use it 4 times a year. Also in the back of the booklet it gives an address on where to send claims for Roadside assistance. Does this mean we have to pay for this up front and we get reimbursed?

Also Item 3 claims that Towing Coverage doesn't begin until the New Vehicle warranty expires. Does this mean we have no towing coverage in the first 3 years or am I just misunderstanding this?

@dirtrat,

Got my warranty cards and pamphlet too.
Regarding the frequency of use, I believe it's unlimited unless its expressed explicitly. So my take it, use it as often as you need to. You pay upfront show your receipts and Nissan will cover costs related per incident. This is standard w/ most extended warranty included CPO warranties.




In our car user manual, it states

TOWING COVERAGE
If your vehicle is inoperative due to the failure of a
warranted part, towing service to the nearest authorized
Nissan dealer is covered for 36 months or 36,000 miles,
whichever comes first.

---

You are good w/ the factory warranty. You extended warranty covers you further, includes rental, hotel, and etc.. reimbursements..

S/C voids the warranty

Would you mind to pm the name of the dealership to me...I am kinda interested.

Sure. Fellow member passed it one to me..check PM

$1300 extended warranty for 84/100K through bank allows me to use my own mechanic and not have to go through the Nissan dealership. The coverage even has a provision to cover tire replacement if, through normal wear and tear, the tire or even the sidewall is compromised by an object not normally encountered while driving. Considering the cost of the tires and that the car frequents construction sites, I thought that coverage could potentially be very useful. Also, it's such a small cost considering what you're spending on the car itself. I would sum up to say if unexpected car repairs will really stretch your budget, get a warranty. If you plan to do significant mods and/or repairs yourself or if costs aren't a factor, then there's not much reason to get the warranty except maybe peace of mind for some.

On another note, the first extended warranty I purchased for a vehicle was for my used 2004 Accord 6spd. With the electrical problems it's had, the warranty has paid for itself about four times over (it went it in twice for about $1600 total just to fix the windows so they would roll up and down properly - of course, that's dealer service prices). In addition, there have been several other issues where it was just nice to drop it off at the Honda dealership and have them look it over and fix it without any hassle or costs.

Where did you find this? I'm picking up my Z on Monday.

Sent you PM.

Got it, thanks!

What's the real difference between the Gold Preferred & Gold plan? Is it just a few wear items like belts & hoses? Is it worth the extra $?

Covered components for Preferred
1,950+
24-hour roadside assistance, trip-interruption benefits


Covered components for Gold
1,350+
No trip interruption benefits (hotel, meals, gas).etc..

**(may be important and wise to get if car gets stranded in some off-beat area) and u need accommodations/meals..
