Extended Warranty

I currently have a GMPP which will expire on 6/25/14. I was told I can't extend my current plan. Those of you who have other plans who are they from and are you happy with plan /claims .I know a lot of people don't like them but I like the peace of mind factor .Thanks for your responses. David

Take the money you'd spend on one and put it in an account for incidental repairs. Something tells me you'll come out ahead in the end

I had an aftermarket warranty from Warranty Direct on a previous C5 that I had and yes it did give me peace of mind, but I never had a claim and it was rather expensive. I would tend to agree that if you just put the money in a savings account you may come out ahead. As with any warranty, it's a guessing game as to whether it will pay off for you in the end.

I hesitated to buy one and at the last minute I changed my mind. I wound up with an expensive issue and wound up coming out ahead with the warranty. BTW, if it's a GM warranty, you can extend it a second time. There are dealers on the forum that will help you out. One I used was Ross-Downing in Louisiana, speak to Jason. The best service and prices.

Thanks for the responses . Regarding the extention everyone says I can extend plan one time, but to local dealers say no because GMPP won't go back 10 years on age of car even the my policy is good til 6/25/14.If any GM dealers out there viewing post pleases clearify. Does GM still own /run GMPP now or does a insurance company ? When dealer run vin comes back not able to buy GMPP.

Waste of $$$$, especially with some parts no longer being produced by GM. What good is it if parts are not available? Then getting someone to actually honor a non-factory policy is always a challenger.

warranty-ability may depend on mileage.
Some will not issue if the vehicle has more than 100k miles.

Whomever issues your car insurance probably offers plans.
