The dealer that I'm buying my 2019 Grand Sport from is offering me the following GM extended warranties:
Bumper to Bumper for ownership years 4-5-6: $1,885, $100 Deductible
Tires and Wheels for years 4 & 5: $649
Keys for years 4 & 5: $449
Are any or all of the above warranties a good deal, did you purchase them, would you do it again, are there better extended warranties elsewhere?
Thanks for any input.

Warranties like any form of insurance on your life is a personal choice. Your buying piece of mind. Whether they are making money or not shouldn't factor into your decision. People usually do things and sell things to make money. I have to laugh when people dish out advice on buying a warranty. This is simply another form of insurance period. You like having expensive things covered? Then get it. Cars if they break are very expensive to fix period. Remember the people that tell you it's a waste of money and not to get it will not pay for a repair should the car need it. Interesting how that works eh?
I agree. Those who do not buy an extended warranty will also not pay to repair a non essential component out of warranty. ( power seat motor, audio speaker, traction control or magnetic shocks )
In fact if I did not have the extended warranty or was past the 7 year expiration of my extended warranty, I would have never paid $2500 to repair the fuel sending unit. I would just keep topping off the fuel tank and/or use the trip odometer to know when to re- fuel.

I bought an extended warranty before I realized that a 2014 Z51, M7 is probably one of the most reliable C7s. I think if I had an A8 I'd be sure to extend the warranty. Otherwise it would be up to each individual. So far I've replaced a homelink unit in the left visor under warranty. Otherwise the Corvette's been extremely reliable.
