Every time I heard something, or felt something, I took it in, I used and abused the warranty to keep my car at tip top shape... Had the seat base replaced twice which cost several thousand each time, 3 struts were changed, engine mount, 3 window motors and regulators, and a few other things that I can't remember off the top of my head...
I know a guy at corporate, and he said mods like intake and exhaust are 100% ok, any mod is ok until something breaks... And then, ONLY then can they start blaming your mods, they can for instance blame a transmission failure because you changed your intake, now, your MAF's... If they die, yeah, you're SOL, or if your engine blows up they can ONLY blame the intake and exhaust if it was clogged or if a bolt from the intake was sucked into the manifold or something

Lastly, I bought my used Z a few days ago with the "wrap warranty which covers the WHOLE car to 7 years 100,000 miles for $1942, a dollar over invoice, ANY dealershit can sell it to you for that price, but ONLY when you purchase it ON that day... And I got the bronze service care kit which essentially covers the synthetic oil changes to 7 years 105,000 miles for $742

You can buy the Nissan Extended warranty any time in the first 3 years of ownership on a new car. Also you really didn't get that great of a deal on your warranty. That may be $1 over THAT dealerships invoice but if thats true then other dealerships have lower invoices. See Santa Rosa's warranty pricing. I think you could have saved a few hundred dollars but you don't indicate if you bought the 0 or $50 deductable.

I had a $0 deductible, also, from my understanding, yes you CAN buy it within the first 3 years, BUT you cannot buy it with the $0 deductible, and you pay a premium because the car hasn't been recertified...

All in all, I am VERY happy with my purchase, there are too many sensors in a car now a days for me to NOT get the warranty... I KNOW I can do 90% of the repairs to my car, BUT if I were to do them, I'd use ghetto aftermarket parts, or used parts, with Nissan, I walk in, get a FREE rental, walk out, put a few hundred miles on THEIR car, come back a few days later, problem solved! If I use my new warranty ONE time for lets say the trasmission slipping, I'm golden, or right now my door panel makes this crappy noise and the trunk latch doesn't fully unlatch... Free rental for me for 3 days as far as I am concerned!

ok, to clear up a few inaccuracies here,

1. yes you can get full factory warranty up to the first 36 months or 36,000 miles of the original warranty, whichever comes first. and yes you can still get the $0 deductible.... however if you have gone past 12000 miles before you decide to purchase the extended warranty the price of the warranty and the $o deductible option increases, albeit not that significantly.

2. I was quoted $1471 for 7 years and 100,000 miles assuming the car has less than 12000 miles currently and $50 deductible. since my car has over 12k and I would want $0 deductible the price would rise approximately $300 bringing it closer to what you paid and since you got your warranty from your local dealership it might be worth the extra money you paid for your warranty to establish that relationship, so you didn't do too bad on your price.
3. That said, Santa Rosa Nissan does have the best bottom line prices on extended warranties

So I'm trying to figure out if the $50 deductible applies when you are replacing hoses/belts? Also, would the deductible apply if you take the car in and they don't find anything? I'm thinking about getting the warranty mainly because of the steering wheel lock issue that I keep hearing about for the 2009's. I'm at 35,000 miles so I've gotta make a choice soon.

Thanks

Steering wheel lock broke on me....such a pain. Would have cost me around 1500. Yeah, I'm going to purchase the 72/86 month warrantee in the next month.

I'm about to buy and I'm trying to decide between 72/100k ($1700) and 96/120k ($2360) both of these warranties are with $0 deductible from santa rosa nissan and considering the 0% financing through Nissan not bad prices at all.

just wondering if I decide to upgrade cars at say 67 months in can I sell the remainder of the warranty along with the car?

Default Warranty Point

When you purchase, say a 7 yr plan, and your car is a 2012(mine isnt) are you not only getting a 4yr plan since you have a factory 3yr/36k plan already. It has always been that way in every warranty ive seen. I have never bought a warranty plan for any product. They are a money maker for the issuer. My Z has few miles and i use it only for cruising and showboating.. I agree with one early poster on the subject that just put the money aside as a repair fund. But it depends on your driving habits also.

Me: So I'm trying to figure out if the $50 deductible applies when you are replacing hoses/belts?

Rep: It's a $50 per visit deductible. So it applies to any visit were a repair is made.

Me: Ok - so would there wouldn't be a deductible if I made a visit and no repair was made?

Rep: That's correct

Just a FYI

Default Took my 370 in

I took my 370 in last Tuesday (2/14) for a bunch of SMALL problems...
Fuel gauge never read full
Driver's door squeaked
Passenger door speaker rattled a BIT
Trunk wouldn't always pop open

So, they had my car and I said I'd come back on Friday, got a call Friday, they said the instrument cluster is on backorder and since it has my odometer reading they NEED to special order it from Nissan so they program it with the correct miles... They said, Monday, AKA today... They said the fuel lights still don't light up (fuel sending unit)... I said, I can come back Thursday...
Now why do I have these random days??? I took my car in to a Houston dealership, and I live in Dallas and go to school in Dallas. So I took it from Houston to Dallas (250 miles) BACK to Houston (250 miles), then took my girlfriend from Houston to Austin (200 miles), then back to Houston (200 miles), now in Dallas (250 miles) and once I go back to Houston (250 miles)
Let's do the math, 1400 miles on SOMEONE ELSE'S CAR!!! And that's not counting the other miscellaneous stops I made in any city or my 15 mile commute to class or work or anything...

As much as I love driving my 370, freeway drives don't need to be done with my sports car, a Maxima/Altima will do just fine.

This is the first vehicle that I have ever bought an extended warranty on and I may regret it if I don't use it, but I also have home owner's, auto, m/c, life, health and other insurances as well. They are all the same, they are great if you need them but there's hell to pay if you need them and don't have them.

Yeah, it sucks if you don't use it, but take it from my experience, if ANYTHING at all goes wrong or isn't EXACTLY how it was when you first bought the car, take it to the dealer and have them fix it, YOU should make your warranty worth it!


And if that's your 370 in your profile picture, it looks great!
