So these prices are all at zero deductible, and available because you're under 20k miles?
And are these months/miles *in addition* to your current age/mileage?

Thanks and I asked the same question and they said "from now going foreward and the mileage adds" so I'm assuming it is in addition to my mileage/age.
Here is $100 Ded
36mo/48k=$420
48mo/48k=$500
48mo/60k=$640
60mo/60k=$750
60mo/70k=$980
72mo/82k=$1300
84mo/100k=$1630
96mo/100k=$2140
Here is $100 Ded
36mo/48k=$420

This is a great thread... even though there are about 2 years left on my warranty, I'm sure I'll be coming back and reading this about 20 months from now... 
Thanks!
Thanks!

I opted for the extended warranty on both of my G's. Granted both were certified pre-owned and both were under 20k miles at time of purchase....but if you break it down like Jsolo stated at or around the ball park of $24 a month for a piece of mind was a no brainer....I believe both of my extended warranty’s are good until 2018 or 100k miles. If 1 major issue were to come up god forbid...I literally just paid for the warranty right there yet still continue to have coverage is the way I look at it.

I just had my steering wheel trim replaced and it doesn't look right. Can someone please check theirs after looking at my pictures. Does the air bag look like its sitting right??

My wife and I were having this same discussion over the weekend.
My 2011 will be out of bumper-2-bumper warranty in March 2015. I currently have 19K miles on the car. And from what I can tell (online) without discussing this at the dealership, as long as I'm under 20K, then I can purchase an extended warranty for another 7 years or 120K miles, for somewhere around $2K. At least, that's the take-away from some quick googling. Obviously, I could benefit from better, more solid details.
The question being: is it worth it? The only reason I'm considering this is because my clutch slave cylinder blew out last week, and the warranty repair would have cost me north of $1500 if I had to pay out of pocket. So that's the argument for it.
The argument against is pretty convincing, too. Less than 1:5 people use their extended warranty in excess of its cost. The G37 is has a good reliability reputation. And (!!) I've modified my car, and will continue to do so. I strongly suspect the dealership will look to blame my mods before standing behind a warranty. Also, extended warranty repairs often are contingent on regular service, which I don't subscribe to. I get things serviced on my own schedule, and not always at the dealership; plus, I change my own oil with synthetic, and I don't have records of that.
Figure I've another month or two before the 20K mark, but I'm leaning towards not buying it.

I don't think it would be a bad idea to get to get one. In my 2004 G35, I had my 6-speed trans replaced twice under warranty for synchros going out.
I would also point to Black Betty's thread on the gasket going out on the rear timing cover. $3k for that repair and all because some n1pplehead engineer opted to use a paper gasket there which throws the low oil pressure code. A few people chimed in on that thread and were experiencing the same problem. As I have a 2010 with 87k miles, I decided to bite the bullet and get an extended warranty just for peace of mind.
I figured if I get the warranty which was around $2k and then have the gasket issue, I'm covered for only a $100 deductible. Either way I would pay for it, but with the warranty, I'd pay less for a cheap part that seems destined to fail.
I understand it's a very subjective decision but wanted to chime in on what my decision process was.
In regard to your clutch slave cylinder failing and what you dealt with on that, I just saw this post from Diego on Z1 Motorsports' concentric slave cylinder elimination kit and thought you might find it an interesting read.

I'm in the same boat. July 10 is my date. I think I am just going to get the transmission update and have them poke around a bit. Maybe do the satnav (wish we would adopt that term on this side of the Atlantic) update while I am at the dealer.

1st: THANK YOU TO ALL for your great info!!!
2nd: AUR11, can you go into more details about the things you have replaced and why. Which rattles, why mufflers, why throttle bodies, why cv boots and which interior pieces?
3rd: I have done the the transmission TSB, drivers door weather strip, for what ever reason my passenger window is noisy( regulator replaced and now motor will be replaced this week), im sitting in the waiting room having my steering wheel trim piece replaced and rear back window is rolling up slow(this is also being looked at).
4th: Will look into the other things you guys suggested. Subframe Bushing.
5th: I got a quote from the Infiniti of Scottsdale LuxuryProtectionPlan.com. I asked my dealer what is covered under the Elete warranty and its only the big parts, no trim, squeaks or rattles. The prices are very inticing, but I dont think its worth it as these cars are relatively well bulit....but again its very tempting.
"G37 w/13600 miles and still under original warranty (available terms and price will change once you exceed 20k).
$0 Ded
36mo/48k=$450

Thanks again and any other info is much appreciated!!!

My car was stalling out and I mentioned throttle bodies and they replaced them, my doors, center console and windsheild cowl were creaking and were fixed, my car didn't quite sound right and had a rattle muffler was replaced and it fixed it, and my cv boots were torn cause I am lowered but my dealer is mod friendly and went ahead and replaced them and the chrome trim piece on the arm rest was flaking so they replaced that. I am tempted to ask about the Infiniti elite warranty and seeing what the cost would be for 60 months/60k miles, especially if it would start from today, I mainly am worried about the electronics like the nav system which I never use.

Our cars are fairly bulletproof outside of the occasional rattles and vibrations that warranties never seem to be able to locate/fix.
I personally would never purchase an extended warranty on an Infiniti product.
Audi or BMW, yes to the extended warranty.
But everything is fallible at some level, so it's a risk management game. If the extended makes you sleep better at night and you can afford it, it makes sense to have it for the peace of mind alone.
Where an extended warranty is definitely money in the bank is when purchased with an Apple Lightning cable. Those things break constantly!

This thread prompted me to do a bit more research as I'll never hit the mileage on the extended warranty will reach the time period.
I contacted Courtney at one of the infiniti dealers in AZ (I think) to discuss my options. She recommended canceling the extended warranty I already purchased before the powertrain coverages runs out (6yr/70K mi) and repurchasing another 6yr/xxx mileage infiniti elite care coverage. That would effectively give me 12 years of almost bumper-bumper coverage. Fee for that was somewhere in the $1400 range with $100 deductible. The unused portion of the initial extended coverage would be refunded.
I'll revisit this option as I get closer to that 6yr ownership date. This will probably be a good direction to go in if the car doesn't get sold and has minimal issues to that date.
