I did buy the
GOLD Preferred coverage of
7 year, 120,000 miles. I really didn't need that much of a coverage (6 year 100K should've been fine) but the fact this car comes with a very complex SYNCHROREV matching transmission, I decided to get the highest package. Also, lets NOT forget how fragile the synchro's are in the Z transmission (those coming from 350Z will know instantly what I mean). Also, It run my car pretty hard. I attend autox here and there. So, getting a good coverage will give me piece of mind. I am actually at 34,xxx miles and has absolutely NO ISSUES with the Z (knock on wood). The car treated me very well. But I like to have a peace of mind hence I bought the extended warranty.
I WAS torn between GOLD vs. GOLD Preferred. But a small $300 difference over a period of 7 years IS nothing! About $40/year extra which I think I can live with. I think it covers everything (incl. hoses and belts), I have much more option such as hotel/rental reimbursement etc if I'm out of state with the GOLD Preferred hence I went with it. Also, if you have NAV, you should DEF get it. It cover almost 100% of the audio/video stuff.

All cost and fees will need to be paid by the car owner to the dealership for those required inspection services before an extended warranty can be processed.

I just had it done last week on the Z. Basically you walk into the dealer with the Sheet provided in the UPS mail. Dealers are VERY familiar with it. You DO need the full 159 point because most of the exhaust/cat converter etc in the 2nd portion of the paper. Please don't quote me as I'm not 100% sure if you really need the the whole thing filled out but my dealer said it would be same price for top part or the whole thing. I said, "heck! do the whole sheet". It was cheap too ($69, price may vary dealer to dealer).
Basically, once everything is entered into the Nissan Database by the dealer you bought your warranty from, within 48 hours the Z should be covered under Warranty. Then, Nissan sends all the documents etc as they process it at a later date. Also, you can put 10% down and finance the rest FROM NISSAN (Budco Financial Services) for no interest for 17 months.
I just love having piece of mind. A car that has a VERY sensitive complex transmission and a VQ VVEL engine that likes to run
HOT, why not get the extra warranty. Just my
