[QUOTE="gone, post: 193006, member: 5899"] I usually shy away from “non-manufacturer” warranties and especially when getting the bumper-to-bumper extended warranty. I had problems in the past with exclusions under the non-OEM warranties and secondly, I’ve found the dealers will go to bat more for you if there’s any problem with a manufacturer warranty and they hold more sway over the manufacturer they’ve signed their dealership agreement with. So with ANY warranty, read the fine print in detail, talk to the warranty person selling it about his/her claims experience, consider Googling for reviews, then make an informed decision. The last time I was surprised, happened with the tire/rim warranty. I had several sidewall bulges compliments of Edmonton’s impressive potholes, only to learn the tire replacement wasn’t covered by the warranty because the tire has to be completely empty of air first. So I didn’t follow my advice above and know all the terms before buying that extra warranty. Some things the dealership sends out to be done anyways, like ceramic coating or Expel Ultimate, so yes get those from whomever does the work rather than paying the dealership its profit over and above the usual price. But the point remains in my original post: negotiate your best price on the vehicle itself and don’t commit, until you negotiate everything else such as floor mats, trunk liners, all the extra warranties, 25% off all parts and accessories for the first year after the purchase, and the list goes on only limited by your imagination and wants.
