I have a 14 C7 Stingray with 32,000 miles. I have the basic 3 years/36,000 miles warranty. Can I pay to have the warranty extended to 100,000 miles. If so, what do you think it would cost?

Contact James E. Black Cadillac (PA somewhere) for good pricing on GMEPP extended warranties. Contact any GM dealer for pricing, but I know Black to be among the cheapest. Get GMEPP only, the third party plans (well, the non-GM-affiliated plans; they are all technically 3rd party) are awful.

Yes, you can (with some limitations on months), but get it before your original warranty expires:

Time/mileage is added to contract purchase date and odometer mileage at contract purchase date.

36 Months ... 48 Months ... 60 Months ... 72 Months ... 84 Months
60K Miles ... 60K Miles ... 60K Miles ... 75K Miles ... 75K Miles
100K Miles .. 75K Miles ... 75K Miles .. 100K Miles* .. 100K Miles*
..............100K Miles . 100K Miles*

*Available only for vehicles with less than 24,000 miles at the time of sale.

GMEPP (the extended warranty backed by GM, not Ally Bank (which is GMPP).

Has the car not been reliable ? Is that why your considering the extended warranty ? Or are you just concerned about repair costs?
Don't forget, there are emissions and powertrain warranties still going.
Although the problem with those warranties, they never seem to cover whatever issue you might encounter.

KenFichtner@dennymenholt.com[/email] I just purchased an extended GMEPP warranty from Ken. No one else could beat his price and service was great.

Or try Ken Fichtner at Denny Menholt, he's a forum vendor and has good rates.

I second Black Cadillac. I shopped many dealers and they had the best price on a 7 yr/75K miles Platinum GMEPP. They are somewhere near Altoona PA but I negotiated everything over the phone and received my contract via email. Piece of cake. Do NOT wait until your warranty expires as it will cost a lot more and you may not qualify for a platinum plan which I feel you need to cover all the electronics on the car. Good luck.

Thanks, all!

Thanks, Mikey. I just left a message on his cell phone.

Great guy to work with. I used to detour by his old dealership back when he owned it just to get my car serviced while on vacation in MT. My new car ordered from him in mid Nov has already gone to 3400 and should be built by the end of this week. Can't ask for better imho. He is who I will also go to for my extended warrenty just before the basic one expires.

The correct answer is "no." All of the "extended warranties" discussed above are really insurance contracts. All of them have a list of exclusions (things that aren't covered). None of them are "bumper to bumper" warranties like the 3/36 that came with your car.

Before spending your money, make sure you understand what is, and maybe more important what is NOT covered. And don't get a quote from just one place. The profit margin on these products is huge (as much as 300% at the "list" price), and large discounts can be had. Get at least a few quotes, and ask the higher priced vendors if they can beat the lowest quote you get.

take the money you were going to spend on extending the warranty and just buy new again instead. You get new warranty, and no tires or brakes expenses.

Vetteman Jack

I'm considering one from him on my DD.

Thanks for the mentions and endorsements!


First a comment:
GMPP from Ally and the Chevrolet Protection Plan from GM are both "protection plans" not warranties. Both have exclusions but so does the factory warranty! The exclusions are for maintenance items and items that could be damaged and covered by your insurance policy as well as federal emissions items. The new policy from GM is meant to be transparent to you and to offer a continuation of the bumper to bumper warranty that came with your car.


It’s that time ofthe year to save!

This is a flat-out falsehood. While the factory warranty does have some exclusions, they are much fewer than the GMEPP plan, and mostly related to normal wear items. The GMEPP isn't anywhere close to a "continuation of the bumper to bumper warranty."

MikeyTX

You should take that up with Ken. He's been on this forum since the get go. As a third generation Chevrolet dealer somehow I can't visualize him screwing up. He's been selling these products way too long.
