Thank you for posting info. about the gold plus extended warranty! The related info. found here and in the Forrester forum was helpful. Kish at Serramonte (Colma, CA;
kish@serramontesubaru.com; 650-550-3700) just gave me the best price: $2k for the 8yr/120k $0 deductible. He also offered the same price for the 10yr/100k $0 deductible. It may have made a difference that I purchased the 2019 Outback there in 2018. You may be able to negotiate lower with him than I did (I forgot to negotiate). In CA, no tax is charged for extended warranty contracts that are sold separately from the car purchase. I contacted 54 dealers in CA and several out of state. Only one dealership, Kyle Torkler <
KyleTorkler@SellersSubaru.com>, would sell to Californians; the others, such as Planet Subaru in MA, do not sell out of state. I don't believe Luke is selling for Subaru anymore. Kish said that the only plan available for new Subarus is Gold Plus; the Classic plan is only available for used cars. The pricing communication and research took me a week and the price ranged widely, up to $3,495 for the same plan (Capitol Subaru, San Jose). Only a quarter of the dealers that I contacted responded to my email inquiries and emailed me their prices. As during the car buying process, everyone preferred to talk (which I didn't do). Some of them forwarded prices without asking for the VIN and current mileage while others wanted that info. first - maybe the mileage usage influences their pricing.
Did you receive any paperwork or receipts when you purchased the warranty? The only thing I have so far is the signed SAS Service Agreement and Registration Application and my credit card receipt. Kish said the warranty card and warranty info. would be mailed from the manufacturer and take about two weeks, maybe more with Covid-19-related delays.
'Wishing everyone good health and thanks, again!
