Warranty almost gone

[hmrlvr]

I'm getting very close to being without a warranty due to mileage. Should I shop for an extended warranty or just let it go? No real problems with the truck yet. I had a 100k mile warr. on my last truck and used it alot. Everything covered, no deductable. Kinda nice:confused:

If you buy and extended now before the current runs out you usally do not need an inspection. Do not buy a GMPP one unless you travel all over the country alot. The dealer probally sell an aftermarket one for much less but get a quote on both GMPP and Aftermarket warrenty. It will pay for it's self after one electronics or drive train problem. Let me know how much they want to charge you

After reading some of the problems members have had on this forum .. and after some of the stuff I've had to have done ...annnnd, being that ours are among the first of a NEW Hummer model (mine purchased in Aug.2005) .. I wouldn't want to be without warranty. :iagree: with usetosellhummer.

I would stay with GMPP since other companys that offer these have and do go out of business, then you have nothing. Just my 2 cents on choice.

Since any dealer can sell GMPP, I would recommend you email Ken Fichtner at kenfichtner@fichtnerchevrolet.com (kenfichtner@fichtnerchevrolet.com) and copy gmpp@fichtnerchevrolet.com (gmpp@fichtnerchevrolet.com) . The second address goes to the same place but I am not sure which email address I used before. Tell them what kind of GM car you have along with the mileage. Tell them what you want in a GMPP extended warranty, such as 7 years/100K miles and what deductible you want. They will quote you a price. They can quote various plans if you ask. They were much cheaper than local dealers and they advertise they can beat anyone. I bought one for another GM vehicle from them a couple of years ago.

My opinion. I off-road very frequently. I live in New York and am currently in Reno. I drove out to go to Moab. Discovered an oil leak. Drove back to Albuquerque to the dealer. Immediately received a Hertz rental at no charge. Kept it overnight, in the morning found it was a loose oil filter. Extended GMPP warranty = No Charge.

I told you I am currently in Reno. Drove the Rubicon with the group. We drove to the dealer after I felt what seemed like all wheels locked. When he mentioned my Fabtechs, I was getting ready for a hosing. I needed Pittman and idler arms, ball joints and tie rods, rear sway bar hanger. Oh, and a transfer case. Extended GMPP Warranty = No Charge.

I negotiated with my dealer from a $3400 cost to $1900. Go here http://www.elcovaforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13857&highlight=extended+warranty and get very competitive pricing. Use this to negotiate with your dealer. Saving a few hundred by going to anyone but GMPP, is being penny wise and pound foolish. I had a 24-48 hour delay until the adjuster came out. How long would you have to wait when the non-GMPP stops doing business.

If you don't use your truck the way I do, don't spend the money.

Just my thoughts.

I think AAA used to offer extended warranties.I like to use AAA services whenever possible...they really backup what the sell.

ONLY TOOK A FEW HOURS THEY PRO RATED IF YOU SELL THE TRUCK SO YOU WILL GET MONEY BACK IF IT DOES NOT RUN OUT IF YOU DO BUY A NEW
Warranty.

with a first year build like ours , i think getting the warranty or dumpin the truck for a new one is best . check with F5 there used to be a guy in Montana . Ken ? something , he has a chevy dealer that used to hook us up on gm extended warranties for the Vettes at cost. he can do any GM vehicle if i remember right . you can get this up until the factory warranty runs out .

Ken Fichtner Chevrolet, Montana. However, do a search, there was someone, Black Chevy???, who offered a bigger discount.

I would get the warranty of dump the vehicle. I would say that with the more mileage the less chance of a cylinder head problem, or a rear diff (especially the rear diff), but as others have said, it is a first year, and there is a lot of techno gear and mechanical thingies on this vehicle that can break.
To be honest, I'm still thinking of trading next spring myself....even if they won't offer Desert Orange on a normal, non-blinged H3. (Might go red or slate blue.)
