C8 extended warranty
- Thread starter Aldy
- Start date
My dealership was pretty cool. They said it was $2500.00 for the extended warranty but since I waited a year for my C8 to come in they said they would swing it for $1900.00 and could put it on anytime before the factory warranty runs out. So I got a couple of years to think about it. The benefits with going with a smaller dealership. They do what they can to keep a customer happy and to keep your business. As the bible says. Ask and ye shall receive. LOL.
Whats the worse they can do if you ask for a cheaper price? Say no? Then you say it's the last car you will buy from them. Pretty simple.I paid 3k.But I never barter. I can't do it.
what is the warranty for $1900, how many year, km etc... ?
its a decent deal keep in mind its 100% mark up so that warranty is $1250 cost

Remember you can purchase the GM extended warranty at any Chev dealership, so shop around.
I called around on my C7 and managed to get it for half price. In the end the extended warranty is a huge cash grab for the dealers. I would never buy it at time of purchase because you can always add it on before your bumper to bumper warranty expires. Most people will never get the cost back for this purchase, but you never know, you could be one of the lucky/unlucky ones that ends up saving money from having it.
Some warranties cost more if you wait for the end of the GM warranty to espire before purchasing it. As for not using the warranty, if no claims are made on my extended warranty at warranty-end, I will get $2,000 back less my deductible, which is $100.
Yeah I was not suggesting wait until the warranty actually expires. If I was going for an extended warranty I would only purchase a GM one and not a third party warranty that may have policy limitations. Like I said earlier to each their own on buying an extended warranty. It isn't there to help the consumer it is there to make the dealership money. But some people feel better knowing that their car is protected and I understand and respect that.
Not with zero deductible from GM you can’t later on. So it costs you more if you make claims. Poor choice to wait, especially with a computer on wheels, unless you plan to sell in 3 years.
1 repair and its is paid for.
HTC cables, wheels and gears, ECU, DCT and front lift were the reasons I bought the extended warranty. One repair on any of those after 5 years and I am way ahead.
I’m with you. I look at like house insurance. I never use it, but would never go with out it.

Completely agree! Best insurance.
Completely disagree lol. Comparing house insurance to extended warranty is not a good comparison. But to each their own. If you sleep better at night knowing that the dealership made some more money then so be it. IMHO.
Well, with mine if I make no claims I get $1,900 back. If I do make a claim I am still ahead. Win-win.

^^^ Ditto
Lol, I don’t sleep better at night knowing the dealership made more money. I sleep better knowing that for a few extra bucks I’ve bought myself 4 extra years of worry free driving!
That's OK John. DaFather thinks Insurance companies lose money on home Insurance
Seriously though. This is the definition of Insurance. Tell me what is different?
