extended warrant???

[Longhorn]

I spoke with Allen today (nice guy).

My current GMPP extended warranty expires 9-06 so I have some time to figure this out. You have to renew w/ 3 months or 3k miles remaining.

If I renew now, I get a $285 prorated refund from GM for the remaining coverage I have left. A 3 year/45K (from today) would be $2260 + 500 (surcharge). Thats a lot but I will probably keep this truck for a while.

Given the number of "issues" I've had over the past few years, I am reluctant to consider a 3rd party company like W4W or Continental.

The last thing I want to do when my vehicle is broke is wait around for some distant entity to approve it. Plus I'm sure the dealer don't like waiting/fighting to get paid.

Ric - Have you filed a claim yet?

Anybody else have a great big thumbs up for the 3rd party boys?? IMO, cost savings is marginal vs. peace of mind.
