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!

Is the Security plus preferred pre-owned like the gold warranty or which one is it most like?

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.

Nillaz 03-05-2012 08:59 PM

Quick question for you guys, I read through the thread but didn't see this covered. Apologies if it was and I missed it.

Anyway, can you buy a Nissan Extended Warranty if you're not the original owner of the car? It seems like most of the guys in here either bought their car brand new and bought the warranty at a later date or bought a CPO and got the warranty with that. Does it matter if I am the second owner of a 370z and didn't get it at a Nissan dealership? Am I going to get laughed off the phone if I call Santa Rosa?

My 09 factory warranty won't expire until Sept and it's way under the mileage limit, but I think I might sleep better knowing that I'm covered beyond that.

Thanks in advance!

Thechidz 03-05-2012 09:11 PM

no you don't need to be the first owner as long as the car is under factory 36 month 36k mile warranty you can extend it. easiest thing to do is just buy from nissan of sr's website. all the information is right there

Found it. Much thanks!

Hello,

I am looking to purchase Gold Preferred for my 2009 Z with 34K miles. It will be out of the 3yr/36K warranty next month. Can someone PM me the contact info?

I have OEM Nav, so I think Gold Preferred suits me the best because it covers Nav as well? Looking for 72months/100K miles.

Thanks.

do a google search for nissan of santa rosa extended warranty.

I am waiting for them to resend my paperwork because they sent it to the wrong address... a little annoying but as long as it gets here this week it will be fine

Thanks. I submitted an order online and am waiting for the paperwork. By the way I think I have the exact same car as yours :) Do you have a manual?

Since my car has more than 12K, they require an inspection from a Nissan dealership. Does anybody have any idea how much this should cost?

hadokenuh 03-29-2012 11:02 AM

Just to update: I called around to get the price and the best they give me is $200 for the 156 point inspection. It sucks though!

Ricardo2.0 04-16-2012 01:38 AM

I got mine from Santa rosa just a week or so I love the service and the fast delivery of my papers thanks Santa rosa Nissan great deal
100% recommend.

thats what I paid too. I also got a full synthetic oil change and air filter put in. Total bill $303. Only upside is I added it to my nissan one to one service and I will be getting over $40 off my next service so that will be half of a full synthetic oil change

Zoren 370 05-01-2012 06:17 AM

Hey guys I know this is an old thread but I do have a clarification about my Security+Plus Gold Preferred Plan "Service Agreement".

Is this different from Extended Warranty Service for my new vehicle? The reason I asked because it is stated in my manual for "service agreement" section 9: THIS AGREEMENT IS NOT A WARRANTY,AN EXTENSION OF A NEW VEHICLE WARRANTY,or AN IMPLIED or GENERAL WARRANTY.

Thechidz 05-01-2012 09:53 AM

It's better than the extended warranty. It's basically the same as you factory oem warranty but with more months and more miles

Thanks for the reply, I do have a question I did purchase my car and VSA(Extended service agreement) not locally about 200+ miles from where I live due to a better deal on the Z. Now my question will other Nissan dealers near my place would honor my service contract even I did not buy it from them.
Thanks again

Yes any nissan dealer will honor the warranty

I just noticed the new warranties at SR have a $100 deductible now. When I got mine for my 2011 it was $50 with an option for zero deductible.

Compdoc777 05-12-2012 10:32 PM

My warranty was $2500 zero deductible 8 year 100000 miles.

Did you know you can cash it in when you sell and you can use it to pay off the loan or get cash back it prorated. Learned that from the dealer last night.

I just checked the site and indeed they no longer offer zero deductible and raised the deductible to $100. glad I purchased when I did

Compdoc777 05-13-2012 07:40 AM

Does not sound good seems like quality may not be that good with Nissan. Now they are paying for it on the backend.

I was at the Toyota dealer and found that even though they now sell only really mundane looking cars that someone with no sense of style would buy. Yet the quality if the cars was insane.

Thechidz 05-13-2012 07:55 AM

I wouldn't even bother with an extended warranty if I had to pay a $100 deductible. I would no longer recommend people purchase an extended warranty now that they raised the deductible, not worth it IMO

danegrey 06-04-2012 06:10 PM

bought the gold preferred 50 deductible @ 1287 for 100,000 miles or 5 years whatever comes first

LikWid696 06-12-2012 01:32 PM

Things that aren't covered under the gold preferred plan...

Paint, exhaust system, carpet, glass, upholstery, soft trim, weatherstripping, convertible soft top, moldings, bright metal, clutch disc, pressure
plate and throw out bearing (manual transmission), any and all in-vehicle
communications systems, air bag sensors, conversion of the air conditioning system to operate on R134, battery, lenses and bulbs, tires, brake
drums, disc brake rotors, wheels, MacPherson strut inserts, shock
absorbers, squeaks, rattles, water leaks, wind noise, immobilizer key, and
remote keyless entry switch assembly.

I understand alot of these are typical wear and tear items, but i think a couple things like rattles, bulbs, weatherstripping, etc. should be covered

xdeslitx 06-25-2012 03:20 PM

anybody know if the Security+Plus Silver would cover oil consumption issues and the steering lock issue?

those are the only two things that I'm really worried about

Thechidz 06-25-2012 03:43 PM

I know the gold wood I'm not sure about the silver

lacarnut 07-15-2012 10:30 PM

I have owned 2 Z's. Kept one for 4 years and the other for 2. Never had any problems except the front end alignment was incorrect on the 2003 which was covered by original warranty and a motor for driver's side window. Also, fixed under warranty. 2003 was the first year the 350Z came out.

I did not buy an extended warranty. They are a rip off IMO. The dealer makes a huge profit on them and you better read the warranty very carefully. It may not cover what you think it does. If you decide to buy one, offer 1/2 of the stated price and then meet them somewhere at the low end or in the middle. Another thing is that modding your Z will negate the orig. and extended warranty.

SS66 07-16-2012 07:50 AM

Or just contact Nissan of Santa Rosa for a good quote up front. I had purchased my 5-75,000 gold prefered for around something like 789 etc. Had a couple of dealers in KC/KS offer that same factory warranty to me for 1499 & 1899. Santa Rosa says they want to sell volume vs 5-6 a month that are way over priced. :tiphat:

zchristopher 07-25-2012 11:12 AM

i was quoted $2900 for 100,000, plus $100 deductable 2 days ago from thousand oaks nissan. im at 33,000 miles and need to make a decision soon. and that was with 15% discount

zchristopher 07-25-2012 11:14 AM

also warranty does not cover a clutch

Compdoc777 07-25-2012 01:05 PM

Just picked up my Nismo 11 # 4 8k miles after trading in my 11 370z. Got the zero deductable again $3000 I years 100k

you can get a MUCH better deal from santa rosa nissan. I paid less than that for 120k/96months $0 deductible sucurity plus gold preferred

and yes the bumper to bumper warranty will cover clutch if it's mechanical failure

BrianSoCal 09-21-2012 12:44 AM

Nissan of Santa Rosa really raised their rates:

$100 deductible, under 40,000 miles

370Z Gold Preferred 12 Month 12,000 Mile Coverage: $779.00
370Z Gold Preferred 24 Month 24,000 Mile Coverage: $1,047.00
370Z Gold Preferred 36 Month 36,000 Mile Coverage: $1,356.00
370Z Gold Preferred 48 Month 48,000 Mile Coverage: $1,418.00
370Z Gold Preferred 60 Month 60,000 Mile Coverage: $1,573.00
370Z Gold Preferred 72 Month 80,000 Mile Coverage: $1,669.00

370Z Gold Preferred 72 Month 80,000 Mile Coverage: $1,669.00

This is a portion of a quote that I got from Santa Rosa Nissan yesterday (10/08/12):

370Z Gold Preferred 48 Month 48,000 Mile Coverage: $428.00
370Z Gold Preferred 60 Month 60,000 Mile Coverage: $818.00
370Z Gold Preferred 72 Month 75,000 Mile Coverage: $1,033.00


For plans identical (or comparable in the case of the last one) to those you listed, the prices they quoted me are MUCH lower. They didn't show me anything under 36 months since my car is 34 months old right now.

Here's the full quote:

370Z Gold Preferred 39 Month 39,000 Mile Coverage: $321.00
370Z Gold Preferred 36 Month 40,000 Mile Coverage: $327.00
370Z Gold Preferred 36 Month 45,000 Mile Coverage: $358.00
370Z Gold Preferred 39 Month 49,000 Mile Coverage: $391.00
370Z Gold Preferred 48 Month 48,000 Mile Coverage: $428.00
370Z Gold Preferred 36 Month 60,000 Mile Coverage: $430.00
370Z Gold Preferred 48 Month 60,000 Mile Coverage: $818.00
370Z Gold Preferred 60 Month 60,000 Mile Coverage: $818.00
370Z Gold Preferred 60 Month 75,000 Mile Coverage: $841.00
370Z Gold Preferred 72 Month 75,000 Mile Coverage: $1,033.00
370Z Gold Preferred 60 Month 100,000 Mile Coverage: $1,106.00
370Z Gold Preferred 84 Month 70,000 Mile Coverage: $1,170.00
370Z Gold Preferred 48 Month 120,000 Mile Coverage: $1,235.00
370Z Gold Preferred 72 Month 100,000 Mile Coverage: $1,388.00
370Z Gold Preferred 60 Month 120,000 Mile Coverage: $1,425.00
370Z Gold Preferred 84 Month 100,000 Mile Coverage: $1,565.00
370Z Gold Preferred 96 Month 100,000 Mile Coverage: $1,626.00
370Z Gold Preferred 84 Month 120,000 Mile Coverage: $1,720.00
370Z Gold Preferred 96 Month 120,000 Mile Coverage: $1,907.00

Maybe the difference is due that for me, the Security-plus plan will NOT be replacing the standard Nissan warranty, since, as I said, my car is 34 months old (today). If that's true, then CLEARLY the way to go is to wait for 3/36 to get the Security-plus.

Are you sure they are adding in the additional expense for your car being over 12000 miles? What about deductible do you have an option for $0? That added over $400 to my 96mo/120k warranty

Jigalo 10-09-2012 06:07 PM

Just curious. The people who bought their car used ( not certified) what kind of warranty did you get for the car?
