$0 Deductible

Initially, I was going to opt for a $100 deductible but thought about a few visits (4 to 6?) to the dealer over the course of the 6 years - even if repairs are covered, at $100 a pop and I'll have paid nearly twice as much as the GMEPP cost me. Figured I'd just opt for a $0 deductible, be done with it and not have to shell out $100 should I require covered repairs.

The price they offered was outstanding. I didn't even attempt to negotiate with them. Fair is fair and I believe this is more than fair considering what I paid the Saturn dealer for an extended warranty on my AURA 3.6 and what a couple of my local dealers or www.gmppdirect.com were offering (see my post above).

I'm covered for the next 6 years as I'll probably not even come close to the 48k miles between now and then. And, when the 6 years is up, with all likelihood, I'll be able to renew the plan.

Thanks again, "Pony" for this great tip. Else, I would've paid nearly twice as much by going through one of our local dealers or www.gmppdirect.com

Sounds good, but based on how many miles you have driven so far you may never need it....
It is always in good for peace of mind. I am so glad I bought one on my Saturn Vue, it has more than paid for itself in one repair. A rebuilt transmission, my cost including the extended warranty and deductable, $1100, cost if I had to pay for the repair out of pocket, $3200.

Most definitely.

THAT is a typical scenario of WHY an additional warranty is a nice little pet to have. One can never know when something goes wrong. Better to have "insurance" than play the odds of not ever needing it.

In will probably get one for our Spark, we are really racking up the miles already. But then again I am mostly concerned about the CVT, and I have a 5 year or 100,000 mile factory warranty on it.

The following "White Paper" was sent to me by Allen B. from gmoutlet.com. These folks are a GM Cadillac dealer and are authorized to sell the GMPP.

From what I've read and from what he also imparted to me, the online company "Ally" who currently sell the GMPP, will be losing(?) their rights to sell the GMPP and are / will be negotiating with GM to continue doing so (you'll need to Google the info).
http://www.ally.com/gmpp/

White paper on the NEW GM Plan: - The Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, My Brand Extended Protection Plan – Platinum by GM

·Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Cadillac, My Brand Extended Protection Plan - Platinum by General Motors (GMEPP)

1. The GMEPP nick name is this dealerships abbreviation . The official name is shown above.
2. GM Extended Protection Plan - Platinum is also shorthand for above.
3. The easiest way to tell the difference is the words - Extended and Platinum - as the new GM plan (not Ally's GMPP).

· This is a new plan that was rolled out by GM in late 2013

1. Ohio was the first pilot state starting in the fall of 2013.
2. North East, USA started dealer enrollment on December 1, 2013, (we signed up on 12/1/13).
3. Over the next few months GMEPP is moving dealer enrollment South and West, USA.
4. If your GM dealership is in the West or South USA, they have MIGHT not have been presented yet with the new GMEPP plan. This will happen over the next few months but since the GMEPP is a GM coverage on your GM VISS file, your coverage is honored at all 4,100 GM dealers in the USA and all the GM Dealers in Canada if traveling.

· Two Plans Offered - Platinum and Silver (we only sell the top Platinum Plan)
· Two Deductibles Offered - $0 or $100

1. Deductibles are per visit, not items repaired per visit, and once you pay a deductible for a part you will never pay for another deductible on that part for the life of the plan.
2. The original GM Bumper to Bumper and Powertrain $0 Deductible Limited Warranties pay first and when they expire, then any GMEPP deductible will apply, if applicable.

· GMEPP uses an secure Dealer Online Quoting System using your VIN/Serial Number and Current Odometer Reading to quote a price that is guaranteed for that day only.

1. The more overlapping time and mileage you have on your GM Bumper to Bumper coverage the lower price you will pay. (i.e. Earlier / Lower Miles = Lower Price)
2. GMEPP's Coverage is added to Todays Date and added to Todays Odometer Reading.
3. If you purchase we will need to verify your odometer reading.

· Owned 100% by General Motors by a 100% owned division called GM Financial.

1. Administered by Am Trust for GM.
2. AM Trust's A.M. Best Insurance Rating = "A" Excellent: Here
   1. No matter who GM hires to administer the plan; the GMEPP is 100% owned by GM Financial which is 100% owned by GM.
   2. The administer of GM plans have one of the highest ratings in the industry.

· Since the GMEPP is 100% owned by GM all data is integrated on the GM VISS warranty history file of your vehicle

1. All GM Bumper to Bumper, Powertrain and GM Extended Protection Plan (GMEPP) Coverage’s listed on your GM VISS file are GM's online confirmation of your benefits and results in a seamless service visit with at all 4,100 GM Dealerships, (regardless if your dealer sells the GMEPP or not).
2. If your GM dealer does not yet sell the GMEPP and you have a needed repair, have them confirm your coverage on GM VISS and your GM dealer will call 1-877-265-1072 to create a claim and/or enroll to get an permanent online account at no charge.

· Since the GMEPP is 100% owned by GM one of their top concerns is keeping you, the GM owner, satisfied with your vehicle.

Excellent. Compared to Ally (gmppdirect.com) I was blown away by the price he offered.
