And he was saying I can cancel this at any time after the first 60 days. I will cancel it!

Like the above posts, a lot of these warranty places are pure BS, if you dont follow some super strict maintenance plan, mods, etc etc they'll void you in a second. Its usually in the fine print, if the fine print is even printed.

However, there are some good ones out there, i cant remember the name of the company the dealer i bought my car from recommended.

I bought one a long while back in my sleep, i was working night shift and i thought it was VW calling. After talking to the dealer i found out it was fraud and took me months of fighting to get my money back. I had to cancel my credit card and everything after repeated unauthorized charges.

Definitely will cancel it and spend money on making it look cool and run faster.

Cancel it ASAP, you're losing pro-rated money every day.

I believe I have 60 days to get a full refund before losing any pro-rated money.

7 extra years or 100,000.....now that sounds like a deal because I know a couple of people with g35's whos either navi, dvd/cd, windows broke and the fix came out to about $1,000

It isn't an extra 7 years or 100,000. It extends the existing to that. So + 3 years and 40,000.

Unless I'm wrong.

You're correct, I picked up the same warranty to cover the car's electronics. A dead nav system or a failure in one of the seats would easily make this warranty a smart buy.

most of them are ripoffs - they charge you too much up front and then it's like pulling teeth to get a claim paid

"big fat bonus"? - Despite the common belief that car salespeople make a ton of money on everything that is purchased, there is not that much money to be made on a service contract. Depending on the state that is it purchased a salesperson might be lucky to get an extra $25.

^^if you are addressing my comment, I am just basing it off of personal experience. I sold Nissans for about 7 months back in 2004 and remember specifically making an extra $300 if the f & i person was able to sell an extended warranty. window etching was an extra $25, sealant was an extra $25, lo-jack was an extra $100 in commission. if i sold just the car at invoice, i made a flat $100 and hoped to make the extra money off of the add-ons. maybe times have changed...no offense to any cars salespersons on here.

also, the commission/bonus to the salesperson may be minimal, but there is a ton of profit for warranties sold at full sticker.

I thought it was just the opposite, you can cancel for a full refund in the first 30 days etc...???
