Good deals on extended warranty?

Considering how complicated, new and the number of teething issues these cars have had, was glad to get the dealer to include it in the deal for a one year

This has been talked about and debated to death in the warranty forum where it really belongs. Both sides have merit and he's not asking for opinions on if he should get an extended warranty. FWIW I also bought my warranty from Nissan of Santa Rosa and they have VERY GOOD prices.

Not at all! He's not asking for options, it's very clear he is looking for the cheapest price on the dealership warranty. Why not stay on topic?

So if the topic was "I got an email saying I'd get $100K if I sent $5k to Nigeria. Should I use Western Union or Bank of America to transfer the money", then the only proper response would be to give the original poster your preference on wire transfer companies?

High roller with the 10 z & 07 Mazda 3 telling us how to spend or not to spend money on a warranty. Tell us what you learned after you wired transfered that money from your bank account. Come on now... lets hear the whole story. Big Bank Little Bank... hehehe

High Roller?? Hmm, if anything is the truth it's that I'm cheap as hell. That's why I think buying an extended warranty is a rip-off. Anyway I'm not *telling* anyone what to do. Just giving an opinion. And the last post was simply a hypothetical example of when it would be clearly "OK" to to say "none of the above" instead of keeping to the question of A or B.

Draw what conclusions you will ...

( Click to show/hide )
the conclusion to draw is that I think buying an extended warranty is basically the same thing as wiring your money to Nigeria -- you're betting on a longshot.

Well if you want to take it there I can tell you right now that Care Guard warranty supercedes nissans standard warranty. Not only do they repeat every legality in your standard oem warranty, they flip the script and add things like roadside assistance. Something nissan won't cover, they will wrap around your warranty to extend into another bumper to bumper coverage for 5/60 where nissan will only honor another extended warranty for half the years and the same miles. Careguard gap pays accident claims within 10 days and the comprehensive maintenence plans are just as good as any dealer and the overall cost to features of the CareGuard warranty supercede nissans offerings. Honestly, nissans overall warranty amenities are a weak point compared to some other OEM and private plans that offer more.

I'm confused about what you are talking about? Do you mean Quality Guard? That is for Pre-owned vehicles. The 3 levels of warranty for Nissan is:

Gold Preferred
Gold Plan
Silver Preferred

Many people go for the Gold preferred and it does cover unlimited roadside assistance. Seriously IMHO it's a mistake to buy a third party warranty but that's your choice. The Gold preferred even covers belts and hoses.
