[QUOTE="Rruuff Day, post: 163437, member: 2217"] I seriously considered the extended warranty on mine just before the 3 yrs ran out. My dealer quoted me 2900 for the 7 year/84,000 km extended but another dealer informed me that it was actually 7 years from the purchase date so only 4 extra years and a total of 84,000, not an extra 84,000 (km didn't matter to me as I knew I wouldn't mile out in that time frame anyway). My dealer sells the FCPP warranty which just happened to be owned by the same people that owned the dealership (Wheaton family). After researching FCPP reviews and reading the fine print of the things not covered and the grief thay give you when there is a problem, I asked about the GM extended warranty. I was flat out told they don't offer it... which surprised the hell out of me.... GM dealer doesn't offer GM extended warranty?..... To make a long story short... shorter..ok.... longer.... lol, I went to another GM dealer who did offer the GM plan. I read the small print and researched reviews and they were certainly the best option. Their price for the same plan was 3200 for the same 7 (4) year plan.
