Default private extended warranty... questions.

mercury group. that's the name of the company offering a very nice program through my credit union.

#1 have any of you ever used them for these cars (higher end autos)

#2 do they cover enough with these cars to make the 1200 worth spending?

i actually have this warranty for my wifes element, but the coverage differs with car type. just trying to get some input. thanks in advance.

Never heard of them. 80% of the private extended warranty company's aren't worth a damn anyways as they cover only so much of the repair, don't cover the full repair, or just have horrible service and coverage. Most of your dealers unless they sell that warranty, reserve the right to not accept it.

SAS is about the best there is hands down.

I have one through Nissan and its supposed to be like the best one. IDK, it is supposed to be 5 years though for less than 1200 it was for me. I just didn't trust the car dealer I bought my car from so I got it, and the subaru dealer near me says they take it.

Nissan Quality Guard Plus. They are pretty decent, but SAS is the best. We know exactly what is covered when we look at your failed part. We do not have to call them, be put on hold, etc to see if you are covered or not.

do you plan on modding your car?

if you do, I have a sneaky suspicion that the warranty company will blame problems on the mods and deny coverage.

they only cover certain parts, the best one covers everything minus the body panels and glass. that's the one i own. it was actually offered to me through a dealership but i turned it down. it ended up cheaper through my credit union.

Ive got the Mercury one as it seemed like a good deal at the time, plus I like how it was tranferable to the next buyer. Never had any problems with the car, so I cant comment on the worthyness of the warranty.
