Hello all!

This is my first post on this forum as I only became an Infiniti owner as of 12 hours ago. I'd love to get input on whether or not to buy an extended warranty on my new (used) car.

Here's what I bought:
- 2011 G25x (used, non CPO)
- 14,500 miles, regular maintenance, no accidents
- 1yr/45k left on original warranty

Here's the extended ("Elite") warranty in question:
- Extends warranty by +4yr/60k (effectively, covered until 5yr OR 74k miles total, whichever comes first)
- Bumper-to-bumper coverage (same as original)
- $100 deductible per visit
- Transferrable and refundable (pro-rata)

I've heard this is a reliable car, so the question is... should I buy this warranty? Is it really worth it??

Other information that may be helpful:
- Currently live in Palo Alto, will be moving to Seattle next July
- Will likely only drive 7-8k miles max in next year; after that ~10-12k per year
- Plan to own car for at least 4-5 years

Thanks in advance everyone!

I will answer that by saying this. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Welcome to the family and enjoy your ride.

 

You're not likely to have any major repairs during your ownership. The only thing you're really getting with an extended warranty on these cars is peace of mind.
