........that's with a $50 deductable for bumper-to-bumper.
My 2004 V has 7900 miles on it, so it's unlikely I'll use the full 26,000 extension; probably the 36 month extension will lapse first.
The bet here is that I will have at least $1000 of repairs over the next 3 years.
Given that the V has a lot of whistles and bells that are expensive to fix, what's the smart bet here???  |

7900 miles, how much did u pay for the car? i picked my 04 up with 15,300 about a year ago... tried finding one with lower miles, but couldn't pass up the deal... y do you not want to get the car certified for the 100k 6 yr from the dealer for an extra $500? |

I couldn't bear to let mine not be driven. | Actually when I bought it last May from my 84 year old Dad it had 2400 miles on it. I talked him into ordering a 'vette with auto (he didn't like shifting; see delivery photo below). I paid him $31k for it. A little high for a '04 back then, but it really was (and still is like new). Except for those fricken tires; they look like they have 40,000 miles on 'em 
So with my 4 man carpool to work, it looks like I'll be putting about 7kmi a year on it. What I'm trying to figure out here is if there any common big ticket repair items in the first 30kmi.  |

Also, nice "upgrade sales" chat with Dad to help him out of his shifting situation!  |

My '04 has 12k miles and the warranty will expire in Aug., so I need to start researching extended options as well. I've never bought an extended warranty, so if anyone has any insight, by all means, throw it out there. Thx. |

Are you able to certify a V if you are buying it from a private party? Been wondering this. Thanks! |
