Extended Warranty: Did You Purchase a Nissan Warranty? How much?

SS66

I pulled the trigger today on buying an extended warranty. I thought about it for awhile and you just cannot beat the pricing from the California dealership. I doubt I will ever reach the mileage on the coverage I selected. I sure can openly appreciate the 10 percent down, 17 monthly interest free payments for some piece of mind. My wife had previously purchased extended warranties on her last two new cars. Both of those warranties paid for themselves during her ownership of those cars. One of the warranties paid for itself under one dealership visit repair.

Anyone looking to wait and decide after they get closer to the 3 yr, 36,000 mile warranty needs to consider a required preowned inspection after 12,000 miles or 12 months of age of the car. The Preened inspection is to be completed through a Nissan dealership and is either a 95 point or 159 point inspection. I am not sure which one is required. All cost and fees will need to be paid by the car owner to the dealership for those required inspection services before an extended warranty can be processed.

I am now waiting for the proper documentation that is being sent via UPS for signatures. Again, to each their own on whether to purchase an extended warranty but 76.10 down, 38 dollars a month interest free for 17 months is hard to not consider.

370Z gold preferred package of 60 Months and or 75,000 mile coverage for a total price of 761.00. Again, I can't complain on the extended warranty price tag.

I did buy the GOLD Preferred coverage of 7 year, 120,000 miles. I really didn't need that much of a coverage (6 year 100K should've been fine) but the fact this car comes with a very complex SYNCHROREV matching transmission, I decided to get the highest package. Also, lets NOT forget how fragile the synchro's are in the Z transmission (those coming from 350Z will know instantly what I mean). Also, It run my car pretty hard. I attend autox here and there. So, getting a good coverage will give me piece of mind. I am actually at 34,xxx miles and has absolutely NO ISSUES with the Z (knock on wood). The car treated me very well. But I like to have a peace of mind hence I bought the extended warranty.


I WAS torn between GOLD vs. GOLD Preferred. But a small $300 difference over a period of 7 years IS nothing! About $40/year extra which I think I can live with. I think it covers everything (incl. hoses and belts), I have much more option such as hotel/rental reimbursement etc if I'm out of state with the GOLD Preferred hence I went with it. Also, if you have NAV, you should DEF get it. It cover almost 100% of the audio/video stuff.

I just had it done last week on the Z. Basically you walk into the dealer with the Sheet provided in the UPS mail. Dealers are VERY familiar with it. You DO need the full 159 point because most of the exhaust/cat converter etc in the 2nd portion of the paper. Please don't quote me as I'm not 100% sure if you really need the the whole thing filled out but my dealer said it would be same price for top part or the whole thing. I said, "heck! do the whole sheet". It was cheap too ($69, price may vary dealer to dealer).

Basically, once everything is entered into the Nissan Database by the dealer you bought your warranty from, within 48 hours the Z should be covered under Warranty. Then, Nissan sends all the documents etc as they process it at a later date. Also, you can put 10% down and finance the rest FROM NISSAN (Budco Financial Services) for no interest for 17 months.

I just love having piece of mind. A car that has a VERY sensitive complex transmission and a VQ VVEL engine that likes to run HOT, why not get the extra warranty. Just my
