Extended Warranty

[jwall09]

Anyone know if there is a way i can buy a used CTS-V and get the extended warranty offered by Cadillac to 100k? Or will i have to find a different warranty provider?

Is the extended worth it from you CTS V owners?

If i need to find another way to get it, who do you recommend?

THX,

Has to be at an actual Cadillac dealership and be certified through them. After that I've heard cost is $1000 for 5yr 100k mile.

If you buy outside a Caddy dealer you're on your own with an aftermarket company and they are $$$$.

as far as i know, as long as the car is still under warranty, you can extend the warranty, but it has to still be under the existing warranty

I extended my warranty on my 05 by an additional 5 yrs/50K miles for $1400 or so (GMPP Major Guard full warranty).

that's pretty cheap; i was looking at more like $2000+.

where'd you get that quote? share the wealth

Many dealers will actually negotiate the price of the warranty. It may be worth shopping with some local dealers.

i found the best price online. i just can't remember where

I negotiated the best possible price to extend the warranty on my 2004: $0.00 to extend the powertrain warranty, including engine, to a total of 5 years/100,000 miles which is equivalent to the new GM car warranties. All I had to do was complain to GM that almost every component in my powertrain has been replaced at least once and they owe me a warranty extension. If you are persistant and can get your dealer to side with you it will work.

I paid an even $1000 for a GMPP to extend my warranty 3 years and 24,000 miles on my 2004 ($50 deductable). It will be interesting to see if I get my money's worth out of it.

Got mine added to the car when I bought it through a certified Cadillac dealer.

I purchased an extended warranty from Warranty America for $1,600 that seemingly covers evrything with a $100 deductible up to 100K miles. So far they've taken care of business (about $1,700 in bushings and motor mounts several months ago), but they always send an "inspector" to look over the dealer recommendations before approving the repairs adding 1-2 days to the work. Seems at a certain $$$ amount an inspector is mandatory. Yesterday the warranty, according to the Caddy dealer, approved two new front shocks and two new wheel bearing/hubs. Parts alone are around $1,100.

Thats good to hear they are doing that work with no hassle. I'm planning on making a check list for the problems with my new car I just bought. I'm still trying to figure out what all they cover under the warranty.

Sleepy drop me a line at (314) 249-3770 and I'll give you the name of the place I purchased mine from. I can also fax you the list of what mine covers. It's better then the one I looked at from GM and several other sources.
