I was wondering if getting an extended dealer warranty is even worth it on these cars, or if I should be fine in the long run without one.

The car is a 2008 G35x with 41,000 miles and I was looking at possibly a 24 month 24K mile one and a 36 month 36K mile one.

The factory warranty ends in February.

Thanks.

I am going to. Just a one time deal. I drive my G pretty hard so i just want to be on the safe side. Mine expires at the end of this year and i am only going to go another 4 years after that. I am at 39k

How much are you going to spend on the extended warranty if you get it?

Do it!

If your cars is out of warranty and it breaks down, can you cough up that kind of money? Who knows, maybe your car was built on a monday or friday.

i've already gotten my money's worth with my extended warranty. so i say do it! make sure to get the zero deductible one and shop around and have them price match each other, and i believe you can buy them from any infiniti in different states as well.

The ones the dealer was offering is:

24 month 24,000 miles - $1,458
36 month 36,000 miles - $1.714
36 month 48,000 miles - $1,927
48 month 60.000 miles - $2,364

I was also looking into getting a loan from a credit union and they had said they offered an extended warranty as well, which was something I wasn't aware they did. But they were offering the below:

36 month 45,000 miles - $917 with a $100 deductible
48 month 48,000 miles - $925 with a $100 deductible

Those prices go up/down depending on the deductible amount.

the ones listed isn't that bad as long as its 0 deductible.. since my car almost had 50k on it , they only gave me 36/48k for $2100 so that's not bad. and i'm not sure if u get the extended from the credit union, if you'd get a loaner car as well when you bring it in?

Ummm.....yeah, so basically those prices suck pretty hard.

Give a call to Courtney at Scottsdale Infiniti (google it) and get a real price. It's too bad you just passed 40K, because there is a substantial price point at that threshold which you are now on the uphill side of. Nonetheless, she will undoubtedly beat those prices. I don't agree with the "must have" status of the zero deductible. For the most part, if you're thinking of having the warranty as protection from an expensive windfall event (ie. tranny failure, head-unit dies, ECU fails, etc.), the deductible will be nominal in comparison, and since the warranty typically costs about 500 more for the zero, I don't see it as being particularly cost effective. I suggest you get your best price from the discount leaders in warranty sales (again, search it, there's tons of info on who they are) and then approach the dealer where you will most likely get your servicing done. Go for the 100 deductible warranty, ask them to match your best price on it, and often they will offer you a similar price plus the option to have them waive the deductible when you service the car at their dealership. Net result is the BEST deal around!

On a side note, I would highly recommend you stick with the Infiniti Elite Protection Extended warranty plans instead of an aftermarket, third party plan.

Good luck.

YES YES YES get it, just incase your have the luck like i have just had. I would highly recommend it.

Hmmm my warrany expires in 10 days.... I was contemplating on this as well...

You want a Monday car, NOT a Friday car lol

I say the warranty is worth it. In these days, EVERYTHING is computer controlled, unlike cars from 5-10 years ago. One module goes bad and it's $$$$.

Plus, simple things in our car seem to go bad, but cost a LOT. Examples on my car:

1. Steering wheel trim flaking, replaced entire wheel = $$$
2. Shifter solenoid, replaced assembly = $$$
3. Dash peeling on area above instrument cluster, replaced entire part = $$$
4. Tach light went bad, replaced entire instrument cluster = $$$

My clock light recently burned out, so I'm assuming they're going to replace the clock itself. That probably ain't cheap either, but I'm waiting until something else goes bad and get more than one thing fixed at a time.

Credit Union warranty's are no where near what an Infiniti warranty will cover. They will tell you thats its all inclusive, but its not!

So if I were to buy the car from one dealer, could I get the Elite warranty at other local Infiniti dealers if the price is better?

Yes, you can buy the warranty from any dealer you wish, regardless if you bought the car there.
