Agree

Just got back from the dealer after canceling my extended warranty.
Initially paid $2190 for 84 mo./100,00 mi. They really tried to get me to not cancel but after 20 minutes of discussion it's now canceled.

But I'm kinda having cancelers remorse?

They said that it will cost me more to buy it again later and all third party extended warranties don't cover what the original extended warranty would have. Is this true?

I did my research when I bought the extended warranty. First I looked at a third party company i.e. Geico's extended warranty and compared it to Nissan Security Plus, and it was a no brainer.

Take a look at the following chart:

http://www.nissanextendedwarranty.co...erageChart.pdf

For the Gold-Preferred, take a look at what's covered.. Exactly, practically every major component, electrical, navigation,etc.. part on the car is warrantied.

When I went to Geico and asked to see a similar covered list, they refused to show it to me. That's when I went with Nissan's extended coverage. I got mine for 5yrs, 75,000 miles since I plan to keep it that long. Dealer was correct, the price of purchasing an extended does go up, the further you get from your purchase date, simply b/c the car has more tear and wear. So, I figured why not just get it now, and not worry about it.

To each his/or her own, but from my experiences, every extended warranty i have bought in the past has fully paid for itself by covering unexcepted major repairs.

Just got my Official service agreement in the mail from Nissan yesterday. I got the Gold Prefered 8 year 120,000 mile warranty. I'm confused about a couple of things after reading the agreement. On the Roadside Assistance Coverage, is there a limit on how often you can use this? It doesn't go into any detail about this at all. I know with AAA I can only use it 4 times a year. Also in the back of the booklet it gives an address on where to send claims for Roadside assistance. Does this mean we have to pay for this up front and we get reimbursed?

Also Item 3 claims that Towing Coverage doesn't begin until the New Vehicle warranty expires. Does this mean we have no towing coverage in the first 3 years or am I just misunderstanding this?

@dirtrat,

Got my warranty cards and pamphlet too.
Regarding the frequency of use, I believe it's unlimited unless its expressed explicitly. So my take it, use it as often as you need to. You pay upfront show your receipts and Nissan will cover costs related per incident. This is standard w/ most extended warranty included CPO warranties.

In our car user manual, it states

TOWING COVERAGE
If your vehicle is inoperative due to the failure of a
warranted part, towing service to the nearest authorized
Nissan dealer is covered for 36 months or 36,000 miles,
whichever comes first.

---

You are good w/ the factory warranty. You extended warranty covers you further, includes rental, hotel, and etc.. reimbursements..

If you regret canceling, just buy it mail order and still save significantly, or ask your dealer to resell it for the mail order price

S/C voids the warranty

What's the real difference between the Gold Preferred & Gold plan? Is it just a few wear items like belts & hoses? Is it worth the extra $?

Covered components for Preferred

24-hour roadside assistance, trip-interruption benefits

Covered components for Gold
1,350+
No trip interruption benefits (hotel, meals, gas).etc..

**(may be important and wise to get if car gets stranded in some off-beat area) and u need accommodations/meals..

I did purchase the security plus + golden preffered because the dealer said that if I didn't my payment would be higher in the loan but when I got home look trough it the security plus was 2700 $ I called and he said that if I cancelled the interest will raise for the same amount of the security plus! Am I been played!

Yes. Call Nissan directly and they will refund you the amount of the policy, if it is a Nissan policy, on a prorated basis.

To say the least: that's illegal as hell. Report the person to Nissan Consumer Affairs; you'll find the number in the booklets included with your owners manual packet.

NOT legal. I suggest you file a complaint immediately with a written statement regarding everything that happened.
