Warranty question
I am purchasing a 2002 Z06 with only 2500 miles. Unfortunately, it is out of warranty. Do any of you have any suggestions regarding purchasing an extended program somewhere? Are there any good values or is it a waste of money?

I believe you can still purchase warranty for a car that has expired, it is certainly more expensive and I believe requires an inspection by dealer service dept. I also believe there is a time period for the warranty to take effect (30-60 days or something like that).

Also check out www.warrantydirect.com I like the fact that I can take my baby to a shop that is not the dealer.

How about www.1sourceautowarranty.com ? This was the company I would have gone with if I didn't find warrantydirect.
