To Buy or Not to Buy Help

sonic370 · 11-22-2011, 08:37 PM

Ok all you guys in know simple question for me tough answer.

I'm at 33,000 on my 09 Base Sports Package.
And i hate paying out for repairs of any kind
Don't have the knowledge or time to do it myself.
Plan on keeping the Z until at least 65,000.
By then hoping for a new model to come out
if not it's vette time. Sorry i'll get to the point.
Extended warranty or not. It cheaper now if
i don't wait. 1100 for full coverage up until 75,000
Any opinions welcome.

I would hold on to your money some of those warr. co. are very hard to deal with.

why would you waste your money on a warranty? do you beat on your car? i've got 78K on the odo and no issues

That's good to know

If you plan to keep it and don't have the knowledge or time to do repairs yourself, why not? It's cheap insurance since you're converting a variable cost into a fixed cost. Well, sort of...

I bought warranty and thus far it is a total waste only because I'm still under initial 3 year. I bet I never use it to full value as in 18 months I just hit 9,000 miles.

I like piece of mind even at a cost. That's me.

I think we should listen to:

USMCASA why would you waste your money on a warranty? do you beat on your car? i've got 78K on the odo and no issues

you make a good point. i bought mine to drive also. why let the next guy have all the fun. but i keep thinking it only takes one major repair to recover
cost. i worry about trans, ac. i think motor will last forever if you take care of it. and i do drive mine daily.
