Extended Warrenty

Personally, I would only buy an extended warranty through the manufacturer. when you run into issues, coverage is seamless. Just pay your deductible and forget about the rest. It seems like third party warranties are hit or miss though so I would say don't get it.

If you really want one, buy the Nissan Factory extended service contract.

Santa Rosa Nissan is California has the lowest price on these that I know of.

I got the Nissan Platinum package from Nissan of Santa Rosa. They are a bit slow with the paperwork, but I was able to verify with Nissan that I actually had the warranty before the paperwork eventually arrived.

For me, this car has way too many expensive components to gamble with. I plan on keeping my car a LONG time, so that's a big factor in the decision. One big failure will pay for the warranty quickly. Been there, done that twice in the past and will never do it again.

It's all a matter of personal choice.

True. I don't plan on keeping cars for that long. The Z was a different situation because I didn't plan on keeping it stock enough for warranty coverage anyhow
