If you are getting it from the dealership, yes. Thats what I did when I picked up my 2000 on Friday.

You CAN NOT buy a GM warranty IF the original 3/36 or GM extended warranty has already expired. Been there tried that......Would need to get a third party warranty from someone like Warranty Direct.

You may have to pay $100 for a vehicle inspection, but I got mine from them and love it.

Try Warranty Direct or 1Source. Since the car is a 2000, you may find that the level of coverage will be limited - the all inclusive warranties may not be available.

And I thought I had the lowest mileage 2000 MY 6-spd convertible - 6100 miles! I just purchased an extended warranty from Warranty Direct - all inclusive, $0 or $100 deductible available.. Need to get car inspected by their independent inspector who comes to your house or work for $99.

Is it a company you can count on or are they going to give you grief if you have a claim?
