i have paid about 15k on the car already still owe around 24k on the car
now if i am to trade the car in since i dont feel safe driving it with the HUGE blindspots would i be reinbursed for the warranty or do i just kiss that money goodbye?

Sounds like a question you should be asking the people who sold you the extended warranty. Dealer? Same dealer? If so, wouldn't that be a factor in negotiations on the new Corvette? Is it transferable?
No offense, but buying a 10 year/120k mile warranty seems extreme. I'm betting you paid a fair piece of coin for that! I only go for the 5 year deals. I usually get bored with the car long before that.
Some facts missin', but good luck.

well...
There are 2 truths..
1. You REALLY want the Vette
2. You are going to take a loss on the Camaro...
SOME warranties have a CASH-IN Value.. call and find out..
AND... Post Pics of the new car....

And with Racer. When I did my Skip Barber thing they showed us how to set up our mirrors. Left, center and right. There is a balance that gives you safe views of what is going on around you.Once I learned that trick, turning your head is a waste of neck muscles. Eyes should cover it.

Stewie:
Unfortunately, I do not believe the dealership will refund your money for the warranty however you could call the toll-free number on your warranty information and ask them directly what the policy is.
Also, trading in your Camaro may put you underwater in a vette.... have you considered selling the Camaro out right?
Whatever you decide, I hope your dream of owning one of these fine machines comes true... definitely the best decision I ever made.
Good luck and send pictures when you get your GS.

Stewie, in the future, you don't need to buy such an extreme warranty off the showroom floor. If you get a 4-5 year warranty, by the time it is coming due (and if you still have the car) you can buy an extension.
Now, get that GS and come back and post pics!!!!!

As low as the Corvette sets, I would think it would be very difficult for someone with "bad knees" to get in and out of a Corvette (especially getting out of the car).

"In honor of jpee"
many, but not all, prepaid service contracts have a sell-back feature where you can get most or all of your money returned if you haven't used it. I'd say, call your dealer that sold you the policy(ies), and ask how much you can get back if you wanted to get out of those contracts. it could be a substantial sum, even if they aren't the ones returning the money (the policy company is/may be).

If you really have bad knees I would suggest you give this trade a second and a third thought!! You might take a beating if you trade the Camaro for the Vette but the last thing you want is to loose money on a trade and then find out you bought a $60k+ vehicle that you can not stand!
There is a whole lot to love about these cars but entry/exit is tough especially when you are trying to be careful not to scrub your shoes and scratch paint. However, if you have made up your mind I would contact the dealer where you purchased your Camaro and ask them about the warranty and possible refund. Second, sell the Camaro yourself and then take the money and use as a down payment. There is no point of of losing anymore money than necessary. Finally, good luck and let us know how it turns out!
