I am interested in this discussion. I'm 20,xxx miles at 18 months. When I get close to my 36,xxx or 3 years; I'd be looking at a plan (bumper to bumper) to compliment my powertrain warranty with 5 yrs or 100,xxx miles.

Well first off there is a dealer that sells them at discounted prices... I cant remember the name at the moment howevet search the fourms. I have the extended warranty. Its not a true bumper to bumper it does not cover all items your 36k offers. Also, you will have a deductable since u will be considered used vehicle

I have the extended. Bought it w/ the car. Figured with the technology on it and such large wheels it was worth it. Plus the free maintenance doesn't hurt either

They range in price depending how many miles/years you want it for. It does get alot more expensive if you buy it after 24,000 miles. I do have a GMPP book and could get you a ballpark figure.

Mine was $1,695 plus tax on the day of the purchase of the car/0 miles. Doubled the original 3/36 to 6/72 and I am not entirely sure if it raised the powertain to 6/100 vs 5/100 or not. Cheers.

edit: Considering get rid of mine, if I hold onto this LLT like I should I want to do some mods. Back to the regularly scheduled programming...

If you go with GMPP, get it here: http://www.gmoutlet.com/gmpp.htm

Most likely the lowest price you'll find online or in person.

I have the extended, Bumper to Bumper at 6 yrs/60k. "Think" I got a reasonable discount on it.

The dealer 'sold' me a 75K/5 year bumper to bumper extended warranty (said its $100 deductible to use it). I told him no, and he kept dropping the price lower and lower. Finally he was a $5 extra a month for the warranty and I still told him no. Well, after a little aggravation on his part, he GAVE me the warranty. I have the signed paperwork and all. Guess being stubborn paid off.

didn't buy one. dealer wanted over 2k for it. it's actually the first time in 5 purchases where I didn't buy. never used one in my life, and there's a standard 5yr 100k powertrain warranty anyways.

The price depends upon when you purchase the extended warranty, for how long, and the deductable you choose.

I'm not a big believer in extended warranties unless it's for a BIG ticket item. TV's and other appliances = NO. Automobiles = YES. The way I look at it is there is alot more that can go wrong on a vehicle, and repairs are NOT cheap.

Normally I trade vehicles every 2 to 3 years, but I have a '06 Silverado that I've kept because I really love it. The one thing nice about extended warranties is that if you trade the vehicle in before the warranty period expires, the dealer will "pro-rate" the unused portion and give you a refund. If you sell to a private owner, the warranty is transferable (a good selling point).

Beware of non-GM extended warranties, I've heard stories that GM dealers won't honor them.
