Default Extended Warranty

I am a newbie to Corvette Forum and am considering purchasing an extended warranty for my 2002 Coupe that is out of the manufacturer warranty. I am considering Warranty Direct. Any feedback on Warranty Direct and opinions on buying an extended warranty? Also, what about 1SourceAutoWarranty? Are these good warranty companies or is there a better one out there?

Both, very good warranty companies. I'd choose Warranty Direct, over the other one.

I haven't heard anything negative about Warranty Direct, other that they won't insure a ZO6.

I have 1Source on the vette nad on my Trailblazer. I used it three times on the vette for about $1,000 in repairs without any problem.

When I was shopping for an extended warranty, I compared both Warranty Direct and 1Source, including reading each of their contracts. I felt more comfortable with the language in the Warranty Direct contract. Plus Warranty Direct covers a few more items in the emissions warranty if you decide to go with that coverage and it is a bit cheaper.

I agree GMPP is the only way to go.

I delt with ext wro's for 12 years at a dealer.
--
I do not sell ext WRO but feel none is better than GMPP.
--
Feel free to IM me and I will give you my .02.

PS. I just bought an 04 vert with GMPP wro. It was approx 400-600 more then the other aftermarket companies, but well worth the price in my mind.

Bought a 6 year 60,000 mile policy from OneSourceAutoWarranty on the last business day in December. Got a great price. This is for my 02 coupe.
