1st Vette
Hello everyone. I've been reading this forum all week. Finally today I bought a 2008 C6 Vert. 21000km (13000 miles for the US folks) I got the car for $40g which seems like a smokin deal. I traded in one of my toys. A Spyder. I have 2 of these so it wasn't too hard to swallow. I pick it up Tuesday. I'm curious on a GMPP warranty. The Dealer will give me a 2 year, 40000km for $1900.00 for the Select. Is it worth it? The car still has 2 year powertrain from factory.
Spyder I traded.

Welcome to the forum! You'll have fun with the new toy.
The car has low enough mileage and warranty on the expensive bits. I'd save the $1,900 and either self-insure against any issues that may come up or start playing with upgrades...good luck!

Welcome aboard and congrats on your Corvette. 
There are a couple of folks here you can check out for extended warranty. I would price with them before you purchase.

Welcome! Nice looking car there. I think you will really enjoy driving it. $1900 seems really expensive for a 2 year warranty. If you don't work on your own cars, then it might be worth it. I would see if they can move on that price, though. Good luck with the new car and keep the rubber on the road.
