Default GMPP Extension- "Sticker Shock"!

I had an extended warranty on my '04 C5, and was looking at extending it again when it runs out at the end of this year.
Thankfully, I have hardly had to use it (of course for the hvac display).
The previous warranty cost me $1,400/4 year/48,000mi, which seemed pretty good. Now their talking about $2,500 for 1 year!
Any toughts and/or suggestions? Thanks!

I got nearly the same warranty but it cost me nearly twice that in 2006. Yeowch.

Try the usual suspects on the forum maybe.

Yikes.......but I guess you have to look at "What could happen" and the associated costs.

Default GMPP Extension

Without researching this I can not comment on pricing. Send your VIN and current miles to dfichtner@fichtnerchevrolet.com and I will send you pricing.

Remember everyone you must have 2 months and 2,000 miles left of your original GMPP to extend. I have been getting a lot of people emailing me that are within this period and GMPP has been declining them so they are getting tougher in their policies.

Dennis Fichtner

Anyone not sure if they qualify send me your VIN and miles to above email address.

Dennis Fichtner offers some very good prices on the GMPP. I for one probably wouldn't pay $2500 for a one year warranty.

I've never used mine. I'm letting it expire. (Just realized I don't have a choice-it expires in September).
