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

SoCal 370Z · 03-24-2009, 02:39 PM

This poll is to learn and hopefully explain Nissan's Extended Warranty and is a result of this Extended Warranty thread, by TacoZ. Nissan offers several extended
warranties. The most extensive being the Security+Plus.

You have to sixty (60) days in which to cancel your warranty agreement and receive a full refund. If you have financed the amount then your finance company will receive the credit, and you will reduce your loan by said amount; if you paid out-of-pocket, then you will receive the refund. To cancel your warranty the quickest way is to go to a Nissan dealer and have them verify the odometer reading as (an odometer statement is mandatory), and have them process the refund.

You have until the end—not one day or mile after—until the factory warranty ends (3-years/36000-miles) to purchase a Nissan Extended Warranty.

In listing how much you paid it is important to reference the correct warranty. Thank you.

You can purchase the right Security+Plus plan for you from Nissan Extended Warranty DOT COM at any time within the first 3 years or 36,000 miles of your vehicle's original in-service date. However, you will get the most out of Security+Plus by selecting a plan early.

Awesome! This is the kind of information I was looking for. I was really debating on it but let me read through all of this and then decide. I will end up buying it before the 3 year warranty ends.

arcticreaver · 03-24-2009, 03:01 PM

i did not purchase any type of extended warranty

SoCal 370Z · 03-24-2009, 03:35 PM

I was quoted $2,495 for the Security+Plus Gold Preferred.

sylenze · 03-25-2009, 10:48 AM

it seems like i am the only one who purchased the security+plus gold preferred... i got it for $1500 for 100k and 6 yrs... i was defensive with my Z purchase but when the guy said "it covers harsh driving conditions... especially when you and your friend opened up our test drive car... i think you would need it"... done... haha...

Are you sure that is not 7 years versus 6?

sylenze · 03-25-2009, 01:04 PM

you are right... i did not care about the years because i'll probably drive 100k in four/five years... sorry didn't mean to mislead..

Regardless of how long you intend to keep your car and/or whether you intend to mod it (and void the warranty anyway); never, never, never buy an extended warranty.

Keep in mind that the insurance company (and that's all it is) is in business to make a profit and the only way it can make a profit is to charge enough in fees to cover all their potential exposure and then some plus these plans are a HUGE profit center for the dealer (and that profit has to be covered as well).

You will be far, far better off to take whatever money you would spend on an extended warranty and put it in the bank...better yet, have a real emergency fund so that paying for vehicle repairs when they happen aren't a big deal.

On my 2009 Maxima which got totaled in a flood, I had the best most expensive warranty... The car had a K&N exhaust, cat delete Y-pipe and A different exhaust... During the course of 11 months that I owned the car it went through $11,000 of repairs, YES ELEVEN THOUSAND, you read that correctly... 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

What do you mean by having the seat base replaced?

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.

All the metalwork of the seat and the physical seat cushion on the driver's seat including the seat heaters and all that good stuff.

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!

I can see this on cars that are cheap to repair. I bought an extended warranty on my Mitsubishi Eclipse 98 GSX. Good thing I did because as within the first two months of ownership this being a used car it had $6500 in warranty work done.
I had a $50 dollar deductible. Since the warranty could be used at any dealer or shop. My friend who owned the shop would do all the repairs. He would replace the parts with high performance parts. Need new trans got a racing trans, clutch racing, turbo big 16g turbo.. At no extra or if the part was a little more then I cover that cost no extra labor. That is the bomb!

I know everything for the z is expensive so I am happy to have the warranty and will be happier if I find out my friends shop can work on it. LOL!
