Extended Warranty: Did You Purchase a Nissan Warranty? How much?

xdeslitx

anybody know if the Security+Plus Silver would cover oil consumption issues and the steering lock issue?

those are the only two things that I'm really worried about

Thechidz

I know the gold wood I'm not sure about the silver

I have owned 2 Z's. Kept one for 4 years and the other for 2. Never had any problems except the front end alignment was incorrect on the 2003 which was covered by original warranty and a motor for driver's side window. Also, fixed under warranty. 2003 was the first year the 350Z came out.

I did not buy an extended warranty. They are a rip off IMO. The dealer makes a huge profit on them and you better read the warranty very carefully. It may not cover what you think it does. If you decide to buy one, offer 1/2 of the stated price and then meet them somewhere at the low end or in the middle. Another thing is that modding your Z will negate the orig. and extended warranty.

Or just contact Nissan of Santa Rosa for a good quote up front. I had purchased my 5-75,000 gold prefered for around something like 789 etc. Had a couple of dealers in KC/KS offer that same factory warranty to me for 1499 & 1899. Santa Rosa says they want to sell volume vs 5-6 a month that are way over priced.

i was quoted $2900 for 100,000, plus $100 deductable 2 days ago from thousand oaks nissan. im at 33,000 miles and need to make a decision soon. and that was with 15% discount

Thechidz

you can get a MUCH better deal from santa rosa nissan. I paid less than that for 120k/96months $0 deductible sucurity plus gold preferred

and yes the bumper to bumper warranty will cover clutch if it's mechanical failure

370Z Gold Preferred 24 Month 24,000 Mile Coverage: $1,047.00

This is a portion of a quote that I got from Santa Rosa Nissan yesterday (10/08/12):

370Z Gold Preferred 48 Month 48,000 Mile Coverage: $428.00
370Z Gold Preferred 60 Month 60,000 Mile Coverage: $818.00
370Z Gold Preferred 72 Month 75,000 Mile Coverage: $1,033.00


For plans identical (or comparable in the case of the last one) to those you listed, the prices they quoted me are MUCH lower. They didn't show me anything under 36 months since my car is 34 months old right now.

Here's the full quote:

370Z Gold Preferred 39 Month 39,000 Mile Coverage: $321.00
370Z Gold Preferred 36 Month 40,000 Mile Coverage: $327.00
370Z Gold Preferred 36 Month 45,000 Mile Coverage: $358.00
370Z Gold Preferred 39 Month 49,000 Mile Coverage: $391.00
370Z Gold Preferred 48 Month 48,000 Mile Coverage: $428.00
370Z Gold Preferred 36 Month 60,000 Mile Coverage: $430.00
370Z Gold Preferred 48 Month 60,000 Mile Coverage: $818.00
370Z Gold Preferred 60 Month 60,000 Mile Coverage: $818.00
370Z Gold Preferred 60 Month 75,000 Mile Coverage: $841.00
370Z Gold Preferred 72 Month 75,000 Mile Coverage: $1,033.00
370Z Gold Preferred 60 Month 100,000 Mile Coverage: $1,106.00
370Z Gold Preferred 84 Month 70,000 Mile Coverage: $1,170.00
370Z Gold Preferred 48 Month 120,000 Mile Coverage: $1,235.00
370Z Gold Preferred 72 Month 100,000 Mile Coverage: $1,388.00
370Z Gold Preferred 60 Month 120,000 Mile Coverage: $1,425.00
370Z Gold Preferred 84 Month 100,000 Mile Coverage: $1,565.00
370Z Gold Preferred 96 Month 100,000 Mile Coverage: $1,626.00
370Z Gold Preferred 84 Month 120,000 Mile Coverage: $1,720.00
370Z Gold Preferred 96 Month 120,000 Mile Coverage: $1,907.00

Maybe the difference is due that for me, the Security-plus plan will NOT be replacing the standard Nissan warranty, since, as I said, my car is 34 months old (today). If that's true, then CLEARLY the way to go is to wait for 3/36 to get the Security-plus.

Are you sure they are adding in the additional expense for your car being over 12000 miles? What about deductible do you have an option for $0? That added over $400 to my 96mo/120k warranty

Over 12000 miles adds $100, regardless of plan.

Going to the $0 deductible will always add to the price. For your example, 96mo/120k, their price is:

370Z Gold Preferred 96 Month 100,000 Mile Coverage: $2,064.00

which adds $438. The Nissan brochure says "The deductible is on a per visit basis" (NOT incident), so if it takes 4 service calls to fix a problem, you'd be out $400 right there I believe. I've had problems that took 4 service calls to fix, so I'm leaning toward the $0 ded.

Thechidz

Yeah so same price I paid. What I'm saying is that it doesn't matter at all when you buy it. Unless you buy before 12000 miles to save the $100. No need to wait until 35k miles

Just curious. The people who bought their car used ( not certified) what kind of warranty did you get for the car?

lbcary 370Z

I purchased the dealers last new 2012 base Sport model with a 6spd mt. I got it for 3500 off sticker with the Nissan 5yr/60,000mile drivetrain warranty, 3yr/36,000mile warranty on basically everything else, plus the Nissan dealership also threw in their "3rd party" extended warranty for the drivetrain to extend to 10yr/100,000miles for free. Then, for an additional 1500 bucks i paid to extend the full electrical system, including the entire fuel injection & the ecu, & most everything needed to make the car run and drive & it also goes to 10yr/100,000miles. I even first checked about mods before purchasing my 3rd party extended warranty , & i got in writing that the only reason they can deny any warranty claim is if it is a direct cause of a modification i made or installed. Since i only installed an aftermarket spoiler, Nismo R-Tune, long-tube, Cold Air Intakes, & the Ark Grip catback exhaust. Even the Nissan service manager couldn't think of anything that could break that would be the direct cause of anything on that engine due to just a catback exhaust & cold air intakes. However he wouldn't vouch for hi-flo cats, & forced induction is out of the question. Especially since u should really get an ecu tune/reflash after all that, which voids the entire warranty i think. So true, long-tube, Cold-Air Intakes, & cat-back exhaust seems to be about the most performance mods u can do. Nissan service manager recommended against custom suspension, unless its Nismo. If my 2012 370Z wasn't my daily driver id definitely do many more mods, but I need it to last, & its definitely a one-of-a-kind car when it comes in stock form, let alone after all the aftermarket mods.
