Sad moment. It's here! I've hit 72,000Miles as of last night. My warranty is now over. I believe Extended Warranty is about $1,500+ or something like that, right?

 

Normally, most extended warranties require that you obtain it before the expiration of your factory warranty.

 

Ah f*ck.

 

hmmm, my warranty ends this comming august.

 

Ahh, you're better off. As long as you maintained your car right from the start, who needs dealer services? They would prob just screw something else up in exchange.

 

Mine was in October or 72k miles. which ever one hit first.

One question though, I had my tranny replaced bout 3 months ago. I HEARD that I have 1 year warranty ONLY on the tranny through Nissan. Is that correct?

 

When I got my warranty on the Maxipad, I had already surpassed my factory warranty by a month or two. The qualifications for a warranty are usually a car that has less than 50,000 miles (some go up to 75,000) and is 6 model years old or newer.

 

I just configured a warranty on WarrantyDirect.com for a 2003 350Z with 36,000 miles.

What kind of warranty covers to 72,000 miles, not the OEM warranty. The basic is 36/36K and the drivetrain is 60/60K. Did you already have an extended warranty?

Yes, the parts warranty is supposed to be 1 year.

 

There may be some companies that don't require the startup before the end of the factory warranty. I'm sure the older the vehicle is, the more the insurance will cost. Just like life insurance for an old guy

 

I bought the car used. It seems as if they slapped another 36k mile warranty on top. Which equals 72k

I'm planning on taking the car back to the dealer bout the tranny though. It was making a loud pulling noise on 1st gear ever since they put it on. and they said it had to break in. It's been well broken in by now, and it's still pulling hard.

 

my bump to bumper warranty 3yrs/36,000 ends in august, however i still do have the 6yrs/60,000 engine and drivetrain warranty.

 

Oh, in that case...yeah you're done. You can't warranty the car after you already had one extended contract on it. There ARE some companies that'll do it, but the warranty will be extremely limited. I had considered this when I wanted to keep the Maxima, but found out it wasn't even an option.

 

Wow.

This seems as if it's

End Of Warranty, End Of Z.. and End Of Thread!

 

I always own at least 3 vehicles (including a work truck and a perfromance car). We drive about 50K a year, and usually keep cars to about 100-125K.

I haven't spent $1500 altogether for repairs on all those vehicles in the last 10 years.

Why would anyone buy an extended warranty?

bill

 

I gotta say...my extended warranty on my 93' rx7 replaced a motor($5200) and trans($2700) all for $1400.

Thats why people buy extended warranties.

to the OP, no more warranty = time to supercharge or turbo the car.

 

Bought an extended warrranty on a previous vehicle up to 50,000mi. The A/C unit died at 51,000. Dealer wouldn't warranty the work. Needless to say I didn't go back to them for any further business and have not purchased any more extended warranties. Just been keeping regular oil changes and a few batteries over the years on other vehicles. Probably saved a few thousands.

 

I would totally agree with you with one exception. I've owned 4 Nissans & 1 Toyota and 1 Honda over the last 20 years and probably never spent more than $2000 for repairs on all of them combined. In the same time span, I owned one Chevy and one Ford. The Chevy had about $4000 in repairs and the Ford over $5000. In fact, the Ford is in the shop for it's 2nd replacement transmission (3rd in its 13 year lifetime). I sure wish I had an extended warranty on either my Chevy or Ford

 

yeah, when you buy a chevy or ford, you KNOW they are going to break.

 

i have extended warranty on my 03 till a year from November
