evil chevy

I just bought a 05 convertible with 64K miles.
I have full service history from dealer and have 1 months waranty with this dealer.

They offered me an extended warranty covering power train, electrical, suspension, brakes, air conditioning, steering, cooling, fuel systme.....
with a company called century service plus.

price to pay is $2700 for 36/36

what do you think??
is there other company I can contact to have other quotes?

Thanx

No way I would do that. If you think it will make you sleep better then go for it but I think you are being taken to the cleaners. I'm really not even sold on the GMPP but it would be the only one I would even consider for a second. If something breaks on mine I'll pay for it. Put that $2700 away in a savings account and you have $$$ if you ever need it.

I bought GMPP Major Guard from Fichtner, '07 Coupe, 84 months/56K/$200 deductible, about $1600.

Categorically, warranties are absolutely the worst return on your money.

GMPP is really the only one I'd consider, but since your car's beyond the original 36K/36mo it's not an option. Aftermarket warranties can be risky, and $2700 is more than double any GMPP I've ever purchased. Ask around to different dealer's and repair shop's to see if they'll even except the coverage in question. I had a policy like this on a car once, and most dealer's wouldn't go near it.

I bought my 07 Coupe at a Ford dealer along with Ford's Extended Warranty for about $1400. It has more than paid for itself as it has covered the Nav radio, alternator, starter, and lead from battery to starter, almost $2700 and all I paid was a $100 deductible twice.

Unfortunately it won't cover the two front shocks that are bad now, at approx. $1000 each. They told the dealer if it were struts they'd be covered. Oh well.

I like the peace of mind having the extended warranty knowing that things on this car aren't cheap but I don't think I'd pay $2700 for the warranty.

I just bought an 05, with 20K miles, and was offered the same thing ($2700) and I turned it down. I've owned 3 Vettes and never have had a MAJOR problem. Knock on wood!
$2700 is A LOT of repair items.....

Try contacting Hal Moses at hm@autowarranties.com. His prices are pretty good...

I think that if you can a warranty at a good cost, it's worth it. Vettes are not cheap to fix. Most people say warranties are rip offs and I would tend to agree but in the case of my Vette, the warranty has paid for itself many times over...

unless you "help" something to break that would need it anyway.. if i have a warranty i MAKE SURE I use it...

After hearing my '07 has 13 computers, that's what (& where)I did, and have been done with most electronically run things. I always have problems with them, especially computer run things.

Example: My laptop has had 3 hard drives in 14 months, plus cleaned up from what I could do. I would hav spent several hundred dollars over what I paid for the extended warrenty.

There are many pros and cons about this, you have to make the "comfortable" decision for yourself.

Good luck!!
