Since it may be driven of the mileage currently on the car, isn't it more expensive later?? Thats what I would be thinking if I was an insurance guy. They always love to charge $500 a repair after the warranty runs out (oh this broke, oh that broke, etc).

*Extended auto warranties cost less the earlier you buy them. You will pay more for coverage as your vehicle ages and accrues mileage.*

wow nice. i hope they have a 7yr/100,000 mile warranty (I hear they will be coming out with one soon?? in a few weeks???) I will buy it for mental piece. I could get it from an outside vendor but that may be more trouble than having it all taken care of at the dealership.

Default They already have the 7/100k I believe

But I was expecting to pay a bit more down the line. If what Jd is saying is true, I'm set!

Default If it is a fractory warranty - I would get it.

I do not believe that you can always get it later - these things can be pulled at any time and also could have limitations put on later.

Wish I had signed up for it when I got my car.

You can get them later, they're just more expensive.
