I'm leaning towards the 37 month coverage for either plan but the costs ! yikes. Looking for feedback from Warranty Direct or maybe another plan. I didn't have CPO coverage and only had a 6 mo wty from the selling dealer 2 years ago. So far nothing major but.....

Given the fact that your car is out of the factory warranty, it sounds pretty reasonable to me. I bought mine from WD about 2 years ago, but mine was still covered under the factory warranty at the time. At the time, my 2002 only had about 17k miles. I purchased their highest level package, added the additional navigation coverage and $0 deductible, and paid about $2,300 for an additional 4 years. Great value at the time.
I have had several claims with them, all handled by my SA at the dealer. I even used them to show up and change a flat tire when it was 110 degrees outside and I didn't want to do it
.
Here is what will really sell you on it. A few months ago my A/C went out. Well, it turned out that I needed to have the A/C evaporator replaced, which entailed removing the entire dash (13 hours labor). Total repair cost was $2,900
. They covered all but about $300 of the repair (misc. non-covered parts/labor), and I was very happy to pay it!
I figure they have now paid about $3,400 in repairs already, and I still have ~2 years left on my warranty.
Was it worth it for me? Oh hell yes!
Would I go with WD again? Without question!
Have their prices gone up a bit? Probably due to repairs like mine LOL
Just do it, it's wonderful peace of mind.
At the very least, if you're still not sure, take $3,000, put it in a separate liquid bank account, and leave it there to cover unexpected repairs
.
In summary, Warranty Direct is the ONLY extended warranty company I would trust given my stories, and others I have read.
