Knowing me, I'd probably trade the car before any extended warrenty kicked in. My decision is also based on how I house my vehicle (garaged), drive it, road conditions (smooth), my vehicle maintenance schedule (always on it), etc which all have an effect on potential breakdowns of a vehicle.

There are several companies that will offer warranties for your car after you purchase it. I received a few solicitations in the mail shortly after I brought my Max home. Of course, I threw them away so I can't tell you who they are. Check Google.

I purchased the 7 year/100K extended service contract. Basically covers all issues except wear/tear items such as brakes. I paid $1600 for it. I did it because I plan on keeping this MAX for sometime but I also felt with all the front end suspension problems I wouldn't take a chance of getting nailed to the wall after the warranty expired.
First time I have purchased an extended service contract on a car. Note use of word service contract for warranty contract. Hope it pays for itself.

I got the 6/100 version and the bank I borrowed from to buy the car lowered my rate to subsidize the cost of the warranty. I guess the theory is that if the car is running and worry-free with a warranty, the bank stands a much better chance of collecting interest to maturity on the loan.

Extended warranty purchase timeframe
When (how late) can you purchase the Security+Plus extended warranty from Nissan?
I purchase my 2006 Maxima, brand new, last week. Do I have to purchase it NOW or can I wait for a year or two, before my 36,000 miles are up?!
Also, what is a fair price to pay for B-2-B upto 80k+ miles?
Thx.

get it, but perhaps shop around.

I concur- Did the same thing for my 05 sl

As I said, you can buy the extended warranty any time within the 36/36,000 period, but the rate will increase with time and milage.
i am not sure what price is reasonable, but from what I heard 1600 for 7/100,000 is the reasonable.

I looked at purchasing the 7/100K warranty when I purchased my '05 SE in march. The dealer offered me $1600 with $50 or $100 deductible. The day after I bought the car, I called dealers all over Texas and found one who would sell it for $1200. One of the dealers told me since it was the end of the month, they would match any other dealer's price. Also, you can buy an extended warranty over the phone. Don't let them make you go to the the dealer. Then they will pressure you into something else.
A few things to look out for: 1. The deductible applies on a per repair basis. If you take the car in to fix 3 things, then you pay the deductible three times. The dealer may not alway tell you that. So buy a 0 deductible if you can afford it.
2. Read the contract carefully. I asked for a copy of the contract, (it's also on the nissan website), and it said that the warranty does not cover stereo components. Since the Bose on my '95 was a constant headache, this was a must.
Eventually, I bought a 3rd party warranty from 1sourcewarranty.com. I paid about $1100, for the top plan with emissions and tire protection and 0 deductible. This was on the last day of the quarter, so they dropped the price by a few hundred.
Hope this helps.

Security plus gold prefferred warranties are definetly a good value. They are right through nissan and good at any nissan dealer in the country, unlike aftermarket warrantys you find on the internet or gaff offers you get in the mail you won't have to worry about claims not being covered. If nissans didn't break down im sure they would give you a 100,000k factory warranty and wouldn't have million dollar service facilities to do only oil changes. Besides the motor and tranny these new cars have so much tech as far as senors, heated seat, motors, navi, bose sound systems that the gold preff covers. An ABS sensor alone will eat up atleast half of what you pay for a warranty. Also when you bring these cars to a nissan dealer, the vin report with the warranty prints right on the repair order, so instead of only fixing what they must(SAFETY RELATED) and going the less expensive route, they go through that car with a fine-tooth comb because nissan pays for it and the techs get paid the hours. So in a couple years say your a/c stops blowing as cold as new, instead of just a quick inexpensive recharge, your gonna get a brand new compressor, condesor etc(niss genuine parts). Now when you go to trade/sell the car with over 100k you have a fully serviced car documented by a nissan dealer. So for under 2,000 on a 30k machine, to insure years of worry free ownership how can you go wrong. Never mind the added ben. like rental, towing and roadside.

Nissan Security+Plus Gold Preferred extended warranty
Okay, so I've narrowed down to 4yr or 5yr/60k mile Nissan Security+Plus Gold Preferred warranty. My car is 1 week old with 300 miles on the odometer.
What is a fair price for this coverage with either $0 or $50 deductible? How much more would/should I pay to increase the coverage to 5yr/75k miles? Thanks in advance!

Anyone familiar with this Identity personal recognition system? I purchased it with my new maxima today and not sure on it.
http://www.888notheft.com/888main/pa...ity_system.htm
I was told it may reduce my insurance rate currently have State farm. They all ready quoted me $99/mo without the device. Wonder how much this little device will save me? Hopefully, it will pay for the price, which was $429. Guy tried to roll it into the loan...no thanks rather pay out of pocket than end up paying $1000 at the end of the loan.
Any thoughts?

Since I see the warranty issue coming up again on the board, I thought it would be worth it to post my findings. I knew I wanted the extended warranty, but I DIDN'T get it through my dealer when I bought my car.
In the couple weeks following the purchase of my car, I called every NISSAN dealer in a 100-mile radius and spoke with the warranty person. My conversation went something like this: Hi, I am going to buy a Security Plus Gold warranty for the Maxima I just purchased. I would like a quote on your lowest rates. I will be calling several other dealerships today, and if your quote is the lowest, you will be getting a call back from me.
Well, I did just that, and I got rates quoted that ranged ALL OVER a huge price range. Ended up with 6 year/72,000 miles and $100 deductible. Cost was $775. I had quotes for double that from other dealers.

It's still good advice...
My guess is you may have been on page 1 or 2 of this thread when you responded to something and then it was posted on page 3 where it seemed to fall out.

I got the warranty on the 05 Max back in January 05. Now we have 22k on the Max so it will prolly be out of the B2B from factory this year. SO, investing a little to make sure that the parts are covered isn't such a big deal to me. If you can afford it, get it. But, if your kids will go hungry cuz you spent the $, then don't. You have medical insurance but may never get sick. If your car gets sick it could cause you an arm and a leg, and looky there you are now sick and need your health insurance.
Get it if you can. Cars are too expensive to repair and imagine not having it when you need it.
We also have a 2000 GLE that we thought we would only have for 3 years, and it was bought in Dec 99... Now it's January 06 with 111K and it's still in the family. Luckily nothing wrong with it... Get assurance, and I would get it through Nissan. May be a little more $, but you know that you can get help in Rhode Island if you find yourself stranded one day. I use it as an example since some places may not take it into consideration for coverage. My .03

Personally, I lease all my cars. I get very bored with a car at the 3 year mark, so I lease. Which is why I never opt for the extended warranty, it would not be advantgeous for me. I have owned 6 Nissan's and have not had any issues, other then poor brake components. They simply do not last. I believe this is definitely an area where Nissan skimps to keep costs down. My last car, a '03 Audi A4, I had it from new until 32k miles and never had to replace the breaks. They were simply that good. I always heard the Germans have great brake products and I can attest to that...if they can only fix their electrical systems.
Anyway, my $0.02.

Best deal I've ever seen. Um, don't be took picky over the Ext Service. Whatever you pay, consider it free for that price. (those 2 features were driving up the price b/c they're dealer requests to make more $$)

Finally bought it
I finally bought my Gold Security Plus extended warranty
I paid $1500 plus tax. Zero deductible and maximum coverage. Do you guys think that this was a good deal for the price or average or overpaid? From what I researched, this was an average to good deal. Like I said, its the one with ZERO deductible. They tried to sell me the one with $50 deductible and I was like, nope.
