Default extended warranty question

Can I get GMPP extended warranty on a 2000 coupe with 5500 miles on it. If so where can I get it the cheapest?

Even if you car was the last 2000 built(mid July 00) it is too late to put a "normal" GMPP on it. July of 03 was the last month that could have been done. That said-IF you know a "friendly" dealer he could put on a GMPP policy as if he just sold you the car as a used car. Very pricey but may be worth it if you have a higher mileage car or know of a problem that is very expensive to fix.

Ken will most likely not be able to help you. He would want to see the car.
I went through all this when I was running out of time on my 97.
In 97 you could only extend for 3 years(6 years total) the 2000 could have had a 7 year from in service date extended. I was able to cover my car up through 2005 with extensions(very expensive but was really worth it in the long run).
Saw your earlier post about this car.

With a little work and the right dealer you should be able to put a GMPP on this car.
BTW be VERY careful with other aftermarket warranty companies. You should be able to do a search on this forum to see what other members have to say. GMPP is IMO the only way to go if possible.

I always thought that if you had to still be under the factory warranty to get a GMPP warranty on the car. If you find out otherwise, let us know.
