Purchasing extended warranty, worth it?
#16
Thanks for the info everyone. I went to the dealership and they told me that since my car has never had the 30k maintenance checkup (apparently the 1st owner has never taken it to any infiniti dealership since it was bought) the car has 36k miles, that I have to pay for the 30k maintenance before they can offer me the elite protection plan.
Can you guys PLEASE tell me what prices you paid so I know if I am getting ripped off or not? Thank you so much!

Hello everyone,
I just bought a 2009 coupe and my warranty is about to expire in 6 months or 12k miles, whichever comes first. I would like some help figuring out if I should purchase an extended warranty. Should I go through infiniti directly? Buy else where? How much am I looking at roughly? Thanks for any help.
My car is not showing any type of problems as if yet (knock on wood) but I would like the peace of mind after the warranty runs out.

Sounds like the dealership is trying to milk more money out of you. How much for the 30k service they're putting on you?

Is the car 6MT or an Auto? If it's a 6MT, warranty it 100%. There's a problem with the slave cylinder, which requires the transmission to be dropped, so you can see why you would want that under warranty. If it's an auto you should probably be fine without it.

i would skip it, they have so many catches and tricks with those waranties some times,
if your not mechanicaly inclined or hate workings on cars i guess its a good thing
the good side our cars are really easy to work on it and parts are pretty cheap,
the cars are pretty strong when they are stock,
my opinion is to skip it use the money else where.
also i think our cars already has a good powertrain waranty up to 50k?

I'm not mechanically inclined but I don't have the tools to do everything and I like having the peace of mind that if anything happens I'll be ok

Having used my warranty and having a life philosophy of "**** happens", I'd say get it. I have an 08 Sport Coupe with about 68K. Went on and got the elite extended warranty when I purchased back in 2011. Since I've had the warranty, the following has been replaced under it:
1. Rear Woofers (One had a problem but they replaced the pair)
2. CMC (I told them to do the CSC, but they had to do the CMC first)
3. CSC (This is a known issue for the 6MT)
4. Entire tranny (6th gear synchro went bad, they replaced the entire tranny instead of rebuilding)
5. The relay switch for the clutch to enable the push start (Sorry I forgot the part name, but basically Id push the start button and the car wouldn't even attempt to start, it would just go to "acc or on".
Please keep in mind that there was nothing wrong with my car when i first got it either... Well the CSC may have started showing signs of going out, but I wasn't familiar enough with my car yet to notice. Again, I'd advocate for the "piece of mind", but that doesn't mean you have to pay full price. I didn't.

I haven't used it and personally I don't regret getting it.
Plus....it can be transferred to a new owner or it can be canceled at any time for a pro-rated refund (no matter the reason...trading, total loss, etc)
