Default Warrantee is up

My dealer 2 year warrantee is up this month on my 04 vert that was bought used from a Chevy dealer. Any ideas on where to go to replace it with the best price, and something the dealer will accept without question? 38000 miles.

Your best bet was GMPP, which you may have had before. But you are too late to renew it.

If you're on good terms with your dealer, go back to them and inquire about another GMPP warranty. Yes, I read that your warranty is "up this month". Believe me when I say you won't know unless you ask.

Ask them to give you the "employee discount" which is $100 over their cost. Have them show you the latest price sheet. I think the prices either just went up or are due to go up soon.

I'm glad I still have 11 mos/or 18k miles left on my 02Z GMPP.

Check with this guy at Ross Downing Chevy.I almost let mine be too late,but they were able to save me a few years back.

It's worth a try & good prices too!!

I have had good results from AAA. They have in-house program. Might be worth a phone call.

I'd contact Dennis Fichtner

www.fichtnerchevrolet.com

And see if you can renew the GMPP that came with your corvette. You can renew the original GMPP 2x but you have to do it at least 1 or 2 months before it expires?

I tried them on my 04 with 41K and he wrote back, "Sorry, too old."

Also, ensure your vehicle doesn't fall with in the category of the fuel tank issues. See C5 General there is a post about the letter. Get that taken care of ASAP while GM is paying for it.
