Sorry. Typo in my part. I meant it does not cover wearable parts.

Back in 2007 I bought an ASC Gold extended warranty on a new Camry for around $1,700. Because I didn't use it in the seven years it was good for, I got my money back this past September. (I had 60 days after the warranty expired to claim the refund.) Perhaps your dealer can sell you one of those.

No worries. The letter is directly from the lady I dealt with when I bought my car at the dealership. I would go in and see her if I were going to extend my warranty which I'm not.

Certainly, there are scammers out there. Just be smart.

If the extra money to buy the extended warranty gives you peace of mind, then by all means purchase it.

However, the chances of something breaking that exceeds 2000 dollars within the extended warranty time limit...very very very slim.

Just keep in mind that they do have to inspect your vehicle if you decide to get the extended warranty.

hmong337 · 05-20-2015, 11:04 AM

Well, I'm getting nervous. Only one more round trip to work and the warranty is done. I'm sitting at 59,927kms.

These damn Subaru's better be as reliable as they say they are!

Only 15,000kms behind you (Only had it 9 months)!

Bergen23 · 05-20-2015, 11:17 AM

I bought it for mine. Don't need to worry for 5 years/100000km. Nice peace of mind for 1900. More like 600 though with the 8 free oil changes and roadside coverage.

Friend had a bad experience with his FRS with extended warranty. He got rod knock and they wouldn't cover it because he did his own oil changes, though he took great care of his car

Geese dude. That's like 60,000 kms a year! Are you planning on keeping the car long term?

Teseo · 05-20-2015, 11:43 AM

If the car broke you in your face, pour gasoline in it and let it burn. Call insurance and complain about DI
seal failure.

Well yea that's another thing. Since finding out how badly the dealers monkeys fubared my oil drain bolt, I've been doing my own oil changes ever since.
