I'm having a 370z transferred to my local Carmax and the car appears to be outstanding so far. Car is an 09 with 6031 miles on it. I'm 95% sure I am going to go through with the deal once the car arrives.
I am wondering if the Carmax warranty is worth it? They offer the top package at about $1649 and it covers the car for 6 years/100k miles from the time of purchase. Do any of you think this is a good buy? With the car being an 09, the bumper to bumper only has 2 years left and the 5 yr powertrain is cut to 4. The car max warranty would cover the vehicle until 2016/106K miles.
I'd like to know if you folks think this is worth the cost. I'd also like to know if any of you have ever dealt with Carmax in the past regarding this warranty policy. I don't know how much hassle they gave to begin repairs (online reviews are mixed). Here is a link to their warranty policy and what it covers:
CarMax Extended Service Plan Warranty
As of right now, I'm kind of 50/50 on the plan. I wouldn't mind the peace-of-mind, but then again who thinks the vehicle will even need major repairs by 106K? Plus, I do all the work on my vehicles, so labor would not be a factor, only parts cost. The only thing that worries me is how the car was treated its first 6K miles, even though Carmax inspects every vehicle...I can trust them right
BTW - Thanks for any help/input, and I look forward to
finally being a new 370z owner on the board
