an update
the warranty would cost me 3200$.... no clue why but they said it would be same as the new car warranty
with that kind of money spent i could dump all kinds of mods into the car
i still have a powertrain warranty and was wondering if there are any things i could say to perhaps... get nissan to rebuild or replace some things under the powertrain warranty?
my friends dad has an xterra and got them to replace the entire engine free of charge with the HR engine. and said the dealer knows him by name and said if i wanted to get any and all things possible replaced go to the guy who worked out the engine replacement
i have a sport clutch, air intake & magnaflow exhaust. would this cause them to not service the car?
things i have noticed is occasional flywheel chatter but apparently thats due to a sport clutch and the cars have natural chatter
it sounds like a truck sometimes at low rpm in first gear. and i get the occasional stiff shift at low speeds but at racing speeds i have butter shifts..
but its at 56k miles and is almost out of powertrain warranty so if i can milk it before its gone id like to

Bought an extended warranty in 2008 and it paid out 150% of the contract amount in repairs (including the deductible).
Yes I'm calling you ignorant.

I NEVER would or bought an extended warranty
Most cars come with 3 year bumper to bumper & a 5 yr. or 60k miles power train warranty. Some Kia/Hund. even come with a 100k power train warranty. Those are backed by the factory. There are the best warranties available & a need to get more than that with a NEW car, shows some lack of understanding/reasoning. There's also the reason what some other poster said, puzzyfication/cradle to grave/tit svcking culture that we created in this country.

Because power steering pump, AC compressor, driveshaft, axles, and wheel hubs are all driver error, right? These are just the major components
Oh and don't forget the rental car that I was able to use.
Bottom line:
If you know your contract, know your vehicle, you can come out ahead with a REPUTABLE warranty company.
If you're like one of these two dipshits you can just attempt to fix it yourself and have a junk yard z in about 2 years
5 years of ownership with the car - total cost of maintenance around 4000 (not including mods and consumable items)=800$ per year which is well below average for this car (source edmunds.com)
Please shove this fist of knowledge up your ***

No, stop getting offensive. I'm not antagonizing you, but mentioning that you've had to replace all those things with less than 100k miles means that someone wasn't treating the car right. Did you ever leave the car to be worked on? Did you go with the high school grad "technician" when the service manager sent him out to test drive your 300hp sports car? Ever valet the car? People are shitty. If they can get away with something, they will. That's what i meant by driver/owner. You may own it, but you've not been the only one to drive it if others do the repairs. That's a fact.
I'm at just under 70k, for the last 30k miles I've owned it (since last April. yes, in one year, 30k miles, this state is long) I've been tracking my car almost every weekend. The car came with all its tire, oil change and maintenance history and neither the previous owner or I haven't had to replace any of the parts you have aside from the hubs. There is no reason why any of those parts should have been replaced other than abuse. Wheelhop most likely killed those driveline parts, that's driver error. PS pumps dont just die, they either overheat and blow a seal, or they run low on fluid and blow a seal. Overheating usually happens when you over-drive the car (like drifting a stock 350z). And with AC compressors, they don't just die. I live in Florida, my AC is on more than the radio is. I still have the same AC compressor. Someone most likely spilled something on yours. Like I said, driver/owner meaning whoever it was that abused it, not you specifically.
What is that phrase?
"When you want something done right, you do it yourself"?

Driveshaft and axles didn't even need to be replaced, it was actually the axle clicking noise, which I fixed on my own with some axle grease (still made the noise with the new axles, I was pissed, but I only paid $100 for brand new parts and labor). Oh well.
AC compressor and PS pump went out around the same time nearing 78k miles. I didn't drive it hard, and I am willing to bet that many people would disagree with you on that only being caused by a negligent owner (never overheated, always filled). No questions asked, 100$ replaced out the door. Never said my car was perfect. Money well spent on the warranty? **** yeah.
Anyways as far as people driving my car, I controlled the mileage severely (photographic evidence) to the point where on all warranty claims they knew to only let one tech handle the car (I know him by name).
Congrats on 70k miles, my warranty lasted until 80k (warranty expired after 36 months). Again my bottom line came out in the green on the warranty contract.
