Extended Warranty - pls advise

[regisha12]

Hi all,

we just bought a 2012 Outback and purchased(without negotiating) an extended warranty Gold Package for $1230(7 years/70K miles).

is this a fair price ? There is $100 deductable with it...

i did not know that I could have negotiated this deal at purchase.

i am thinking of cancelling but would like recommendations on where in california I would purchase this warranty and what would be the best price.

Thank you in advance!

There is a huge thread on this already and there should be more if you search. For a few dollars more you can get the 7yr/100k/$0ded. What you paid is not particularly great. Check this first. Discounted Factory Extended Warranty

I think having a 100K warranty is much better than a 70K. I bought my 2012 Outback Limited 2.5i two weeks ago, and got a 100K 7-year, zero deductible for $1450. That was in Ohio, and I don't know what that compares to in California.

It appears they are just insurance brokers

I don't so much care about extended warranties that cover the first hundred K miles.....I'm still looking for one that kicks in later and covers the second hundred thousand. People are generally not amused when I ask about this.....

NB: We've owned around 14 cars over 40 years. An extended warranty costing $1000 would not have paid off on any (ANY) of those cars.

This company is simply the web hosting and marketing engine for Napleton Subaru of Schaumburg, IL.

When you buy a Subaru Gold Plus* warranty from this site, you are buying directly from Napleton's Schaumburg Subaru, not from a 3rd party.

That has been my experience also especially with Subaru products.

However my two Toyota's have both had several thousand bucks put into them for fairly major failures which case a warranty might have been nice to have.

There are plenty of after market insurance policies for older cars they all come with a price but in some cases if you own say a VW - Audi etc you might end up on the positive side of that deal. LOL

Tell the dealer to cancel it and tell them you can get the same for $1400ish elsewhere with the $0 deductible. If they want to sell it to you for that price, take it. If not check out G-omaha in the extended warranty thread. Win--Win.
