Yeah, I bit on that too since this was my first new car purchase and I lacked the experience of buying a new vehicle and of course just wanted my car to be safe. Then I spoke with a few people who had purchased it and every single one of them said that it was worthless and a waste of money.

Thankfully I decided to cancel it within the time frame to do so, but they still made it a huge headache for me, charged me a $25 "processing fee", and it still took them close to two months to get everything finalized and settled with it.

I wish I wouldn't have got it in the first place, but I'm also glad I got that experience; needless to say I will never be purchasing any sort of extended warranty again!

I would have got a Monogram in Whiteout. My car is stock still. No regrets. I made those mistakes when the tC came out. This time patience is going to be beneficial.

Would have bought a 2013 Would have gone Premium vs Limited, Used that limited trim money for MORE MODS SOONER! Would have gotten Silver or WRB. DGM is a bird shit magnet.

Almost same for me. I just figured mods will help with the FI in the future.

I would have surrounded myself in a circle of salt (for protection) and called upon the import gods to deliver to me the sacred wisdom of born-again modding. Only then would the Benjamin's have been wisely apportioned. Alas, time has passed and drifted away. There is no return from the stronghold of forced induction. Only acceptance remains.

Pretty happy with my mods. I would leave everything as is.

I'm probably way outside of the cancellation period but how long was it?

Current mods:

OFT E85 SII
Eibach Pro kit
B8 Struts
Mtec springs
Whitline positive shift kit
Perrin CAI
Strano front sway
FXT oil cooler
RPF1 245/40/17 ZII

I think the only thing I would have done differently would have been to wait longer to mod. Really enjoyed the car in stock form for at least a full year before modding. I don't enjoy the car less than when it was stock, but I'm not sure how much better it's gotten since modding. From a DD standpoint I don't think it's much more in comparison to how much I've spent.

I believe it was only 4 - 6 weeks from when I signed the paperwork :(, and they refunded it by taking that portion off of the back end of my loan.

If you were to do it all over again, I would've left my house a little later so I wouldn't get broadsided by that person who was texting and ran the red light. :*(


EDIT: oh my bad, this has nothing to do with mods. Carry on.

You can get a pro-rated rebate on the remainder of the warranty.
