Where should we go to buy extended warranty? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

qqzj · 02-25-2014, 01:16 AM

I was thinking about buying it right before the factory expires. However, somebody told me that extended warranty covers slightly more than factory warranty. Of course, I mean Subaru extended warranty, not a 3rd party one.

It seems that other Subaru drivers can get 7yr/100k for about $1000. Can we do better? It would be interesting if somebody has some insight/experience to share.

You can buy it from any dealer, shop around exactly like you would when buying a car.
7yr/100k have different deductibles (and possibly coverage levels). $1000 might not be a bad price for a $0 deductible Gold plan (I have no idea about current prices, just going from memory several years back), for a $100 deductible 'Classic' plan - not so much.

My impression is that some online dealers can sell it at a substantially discounted price. I am talking about the $50 deductible one. If there are enough guys interested, we can have a group buy and end up with a terrific deal.

If the 7 year warranty is 1000 dollars... I'm in. 1000 dollars for peace of mind is worth it in my books.

Yes. You can literally wait a day before it expires. I know that Acura increases the price the closer you get. Not sure about Subaru. The cheapest I've seen the 7yr/100k Gold Warranty is $1300(it's on my sales order). Mastria Subaru in MA gets some good reviews in regards to extended warranties on some Subaru forums, so you might want to give them a ring to see what they can do.

Use that $1k on mods instead when your factory warranty runs out.

We aren't driving a $70k M3. Don't really need an extended warranty.

You should be able to buy extended warranty before the original warranty runs out. It's cheaper to buy extended warranty the same time when you buy the car. I guess it's useful in case your direct injector seals go south for example.

Or the head gasket seal at 70,000 miles. That coolant has to be going somewhere!
