Again, not pitching WD, but they were easy to deal with, and the price was decent, then...they may have jacked the pricing. But, as I wrote, they have several levels of coverage.

As you searched you probably read umptyseven posts of mine, banging on the table for one needing to have an extended coverage of some kind. I am more ambivalent about it these days, though our X is a 3.0 and has a manual trans, no Nav, no gizmos, and good old E53 electronics, so I was less invigorated when it came time for WD's renewal situ.

I hear you on the safety net, mental health situ...for those with problematic Xs they can be cost nightmares to repair. GL, mD
