New/Old G35 owner

Hey everyone,
The reason I am New/Old G35 owner; about 7 month ago I traded in my beloved Midnight Blue 04 G35 2 door 6mt w/95K for a brand new 2011 VW Jetta. To this day I dont know what devil possessed me to buy a Jetta. It had a new car bumper to bumper warranty that did not cover anything unless VW had Technical Service Bulletin that addresses a particular problem. During 7 month of ownership Jetta was at a steelership more than my G been in 5 year. At another dealership there was a 2007 G35S sedan 6MT /Navi Black on Black with only 31000 miles on it that I was EYEing for 2 and a half month. Last week I became a G35 owner again by trading in my VW for a G35S.
1. G still has about 3 weeks of bumper to bumper warranty from Infiniti. Is there something that needs to be addressed before warranty runs out? (Burning oil 05-06) (Leaking valve cover gasket 03-04)
2. Has anybody had or heard of Zurich Comprehensive Extended warranty (Universal Casualty Company)? Is it worth it?

My old G35

Sweet. That is a relatively rare setup. I would look into what the history of the car was. There was a voluntary clutch slave cylinder recall, some ecm reflashes, and a bunch of tsb's that addressed some niggly issues not all of us had. I would look up all the tsbs from infinithelp.com and see if you have the problems listed. Anyways, congrats! My 2007 G35s 6mt only has 18,000 miles and I've enjoyed every last one of them!

Thanks I will look at TSBs. Dealership included 60K warranty from Zuric with 0 deductible.
So I have a hard time deciding to figure out how to cancel Zurivh warranty and get Infiniti Elite or just leave it alone. Also car has 4WAS. Does anybody know when 4was is activated? Do u think its a good idea for a chicago winters?

couldn't find anything really on that warranty good or bad. do you get money back for cancelling it? usually warranties dealers 'throw' in for free are sleezy lifetime powertrain warranties rife with fraud complaints, that only cost them about $50-100. Usually it's just a advertising tool to sell cars and are never meant to be actually used lol, but you never know until you try I suppose.

contact Zuric and get details of your coverage and if you want Infiniti elite, send me PM and I can get you in touch with my contact where I got Infiniti Elite from on my car.
By the way back to G car

funny, when I was on the car lot I was test driving a VW. I winded up not being able to qualify for the d@mn thing and then just before I left the lot I saw this beauty sitting in the corner feeling left out. Long story short I got the 07 G35 and I love it
