extended warranty worth it for 06 g35c?
im being offerred the extended warranty for $2200 right now. the offer stays good until i hit 6k miles (i have 1300 miles now).
so basically in terms of mileage i have the full warranty still but in terms of time i only have 3.5 years left because i bought the car used.
$2200 will extend it to 100k miles and 7 years (6.5 years for me)
at first i didnt think it was worth it but ive been reading some threads and it seems like a lot of peoples windows are dying and some peoples drivers/passengers seats are dying (probably from loading/unloading too many passengers and thus having to use the motor a lot) etc.
so do you think its worth the $2200?

6k miles then it will only be extended to 75k
(theres more limitations but i forgot them)

$2200 is a lot of money to pay for an Infiniti extended warranty. I only paid $1700 extra for a similar warranty from Porsche, and the maintenance expenses for a 996 are at least double that of a G. Also, don't make the mistake of reading posts on any forum and drawing conclusions. The sample size is incredibly small, and forums are a great place for people to share problems. Those with no problems aren't going to be motivated to post that they don't have problems.
Bottom line is that the odds are in your favor that you won't incur anywhere near $2200 in warranty claims in 7yrs/100K miles, but anything is possible. Personally I'd take my chances and pocket the $2200. Better yet invest the $2200 in some CD paying 6%, and in 7 years it will grow to around $3300.

Never pay for extended warranty. If it isn't broken, don't fix it. Take your $2000 and invest it. It will more than pay for repairs down the road if you keep your car that long. Don't forget to ditch the dealership once the warranty is over. Find a good mechanic. You will save 20% - 40% right there.

The warranty is transferrable. So even if you sell the car later it holds some value in resale to a private pary. You can also get a % of the cost back from Infinity if you sell it back early. I think its like .30 on the dollar. So its not a total loss if trade it in before 7 years. You can shop around to diffrent dealers to get the best price but this is your only oppertunity to add it into your payments. I got the 7 year "everything" warranty with a $50 deductable on my 05 G35x for around $1400. I was paranoid about all the little things that are $ to fix.
