Help! how much is extended warranty worth

Guys,

Dealer and I are haggling over price on used 2007 G35x. Has offered to give me the 7 year/100,000 warranty, including free oil changes and loaner car use. How much is this worth - dealer says it's a $1500 option. anyone know?

I have a 2004 coupe with 25k miles, they offered me $1100 for 3 years 36k miles, or $2000 for 60k miles..


so yours doesn't sound that bad.

Wow $1500 for 7yr/100K sounds real good. I got mine for 2k, but again, I purhased my extended warrenty after I got the car so... oh well.

If it you gives you peace of mind I would go for it. I have just never had them pay off for me so that is why I have passed on last 3 cars I have bought.

Dealer's cost on this is minimal. They are paying someone to change your oil...probably $20 including the oil.

Consumer Reports data shows the G is one of the most reliable cars put there and they don't recommend the extended warranty.

I would tell them it's only worth $750 to you since the car is so reliable and you can get oil changes for $25. Then see if they'll come down on the price.

I hear ya. If it were a brand new car, I'd most laikely pass, but I don't know how this car was treated in its prior life. Also, I believe the warranty is transferrable which could help if I ever wanted to sell the car.

I think they make you pay for the data online. It's their April issue and you can find it in any library. They survey thousands of car owners every year. Here is what they give you for free:

They top rated the G in its class.
