I am considering purchasing protection plan.However if car is considered new up until one year and 12000 miles,wouldn't it make sense to wait a while.Is the price affected by when you buy?In other words do i still get the same 60 months coverage if I buy when car is 11 months old,versus 1 month old?

I'm looking at an email dated 12-10-05 from Dennis at Fichtner Chev. Says "coverage must be purchased prior to the end of the new vehicle limited warranty of 36 months or 36,000 miles whichever comes first." This usder a section titled "When Can I purchase GMPP?"

How to purchase a GMPP
You call me at 406-628-4618, Ext 105 or email me at gmpp@fichtnerchevrolet.com and I will sell you one for a great discounted price. If you Email me or if you call me it is best if you have your VIN and current miles available for an accurate quote.
Thanks

You can wait that long, but it's the cheapest if you buy it within the first year of ownership. I purchased mine after 9 months in order to beat the October price increase. I paid $740 for the 5 year, 40k mi zero deductible plan.

I did the first one over the phone, but the second warranty purchase was done at Fichtner Chevrolet, in person. Sitting across the desk from Dennis for a half hour made sleep difficult for months afterward...

Hey CeYaBye I have one question. I normally use up my miles before the time so... If I want to buy a 60000 mile extended warranty and I currently have 10000 miles on my car. Will the new policy cover my car to 60000 or 70000 miles?

GM Employee here and happen to manage the GMPP emrollment center. You are correct, the price will not change in the first year (must be under 12K miles AND 12 months) unless GM does a price increase, but we just had one October 1. Also the prices go up at 12K miles and aslo at 24K miles, so buying it in that first year saves you some money. And the coverage starts the day you purcase, so if your vette is 11 months old and you have 11K miles on it and you want a 48 month 60K miles, you would have coverage up until 71K miles or 48 months whichever comes first. And heck, GM will let you put 10% down and pay the rest in 15 monthly installments.

Now you can purchase the GMPP plan later in the life of your car (as long it is before the factory limited warranty expires) but the plan will cost more as the car is older.

If you buy a 60,000 mile warranty on a new vehicle, you have an ADDITIONAL 24,000 miles over the factory 36,000 mile warranty. If you bought a 60 month warranty, you have an additional 24 months.
The 60,000 miles and 60 months is the total warranty, for example.

My way you get a total of 40 + 11 = 51 months of coverage.
I guess I will wait and get warranty later. And hope your correct.
Thanks again for all your inputs and originator of this thread.
