Canadian Extended Warranty

[Shawster]

I've been struggling with this because this truck has been solid. Mine went into service Nov 2004. I'm seriously considering buying the extended warranty for piece of mind. The quote I've received was 2499.00 for the 7yr/160,000.

I am looking for best price here. To the Canadian folks, anyone out there have connections or have received a good deal on the extended warranty? Any help would be appreciated.

just bought my truck in march and I bought the extended warrenty 7 yr 200,000km bumper to bumper no deductable for 2999.00. so yours seems reasonable.

remember, the price of the warranty is negoitiable, the same as anything else. there is a lot of profit in them too, that's why the delaers push them. shop around

GEICO Insurance will sell you a warrany for $25.00 per 6 months ($50.00 USDs per year) and add it on your insurance premium. It will cover you to 7 years and 100,000 miles. It has a $250.00 deductible.

The policys at the dealer are "pure profit" for them. The average policy costs them (depending on company and term & milage) about $425.00 USDs.

I am sure that many auto insurance companies in Canada have extended warranty policies.

You normally can get back your (prorated) part on a dealer policy.

IF you want to know what was paid in dealer ot "write" the policy" .. ask them what they will refund to you if you cancel it .. you have not used it yet .. you are still under a factory warranty.

Dealers make tons of money to write the policy and if you keep the policy past the commission refund period.

PPS ... My buddy was offered "gap insurance" on a Porsche lease at a dealer ($700.00+ USDs)... he got it from his insurance co for $22.00 per 6 months and you only need it at the beginning of a lease too.
