08 Ltd Ed Warranty Question
This fall my GMPP runs out. Today I got a letter about an extended warranty from Auto Care. My 08 Z has 21K miles and they consider it a NEW car! That said for $3,025 They will give me a full warranty on everything but the typical replacement items like belts hoses tires etc. for 5 more years or 100K miles. I have not had any valve train noise and with an extended warranty Id have no reason to even worry about it. But when I got the Vette several years ago it had 8K miles and the clutch and pedal were a GM call back and they paid over 4K for that work. Well worth my 1700 extended warranty.
I have a bunch of restored older cars and can repair them myself but something as exotic as the Z and computers I do not feel comfortable working on. I am wondering about the 3K for this extended warranty. I am 65 self made and have done well but I have never done anything like this Auto Care and was looking for fellow Vette owners opinions? They said its accepted at 10,000+ dealerships and AAA approved .
Thanks Jim F

Last year I was in an identical situation. I chose to not extend the warranty and spend the $3k on reworking the heads and adding a cam with headers. You can work on this car, you just need to take your time and label all the hoses and electrical connectors. When you are done you can ask for help with tuning.
