Warranty Direct SecureCare+ experience???

[jragan11]

[quote=NOVAX5]Warranty Direct SecureCare+ sounds good to me, they quoted me $2500 for bumper to bumper coverage including airbags. they list the things that are not covered under this plan, it sounds every reasonable. They work with BMW dealer in my area too. quote]

Make sure they do work with your BMW dealership. he guys at Warranty Direct says they work with them all but when I went and talked to 2 service adivisors and the finance guy at Sterling they only work with their 3rd party warranty company. They said most in the area are that way as well. So I would make sure you talk to fairfax!!

yeah i thought the same thing when I was there, but I guess they would rather hook it up for 3K and get a total of 5k from me then let me go take my business else where. He gave me the whole shpeal of "we try to take care of our customers and try to save them money when we can crap...."

i was already envy of you... your SA must be either deaf or not paying attention to you when you were there

wow, warranty direct is getting a lot of business from x5world members, we should ask them for a group discount or something...

Well I just went over there and was refunded my 3k plus taxes. There is nothing they can do since I am not the orig owner. I even called BMW of America customer service. So it looks like I am in the same boat as you. I am back to looking at Warranty Direct and debating whether or not to do the secure plan or big ticket!!!

I have rambled on in several past postings, with my opins
on extended warranties: in a nutshell, it is a somewhat
pricey ins. policy that offers protection and a safety net
for these beasts. If you don't have to use it, they win;
if you get some thing(s) covered during the policy period
you will probably be ahead, fwiw.

One can argue to skip it, "bank the dough", (which no one
does), or just pay up when it's ball breaking time. I will not
persuade anyone to cough up for any Ext Warr., "just to be
covered".

However, if you do feel it's an ok/good/better bet:
then grab either the BMW 2OP coverage, (which is not as
inclusive as the oem coverage and, only available to orig. owner),
or, a BMW CPO covered used car, (both 2OP & CPO are basically
the same coverage),
or, cop a 3rd party Ext Warranty.

Several of us here have Warr.Direct and some of us have used it
with good results. The myriad list of other 3rd party warranty deals
are not as well known and few here have the experience in using
such. Do your own DD...A Stlr telling you that "such and such" is
not accepted/sucks, is their choice but, is disingenuous at the least
and typical stlr bs, imo. There are other stlrs in most metro areas
and privateers that will gladly take a 3rd party warranty. These cars
break but this is not a freakin Ferrari or rocket ship...fixable.

As to the levels of coverage, even WD and the other few legit programs
change their offerings weekly/monthly as the actuarial tables get filled
with repair data/history, so what I bought 2+ years ago is not the same
program(s) any one offers today.

Do you own DD and if you choose one, cut the fookin hand wringing,
understand that you are "covered" for most crazy crap and go drive the
sumbitch and enjoy the ride.

UPDATE:

went to the dealer just this morning and here's what i found out...

1. They still somehow try to enroll you to the 2OP warranty even if you are not the original owner, if they know the original owner of your BMW, lets say you buy it from the dealer, so they would have a more detailed history of your X.. bad for me, they cant find who the original owner was.
PRICE = $3875 2yr/100Kmiles

2. Asked them about GE-AWS, they only offer the 5-star plan (on the internet, GE has 5, 4, 3 star plans), simply because they dont arguments with the client come repair time, and 5-star covers almost everything on your car, of course except those maintenance stuff...
PRICE = $4593 3yr/100Kmiles, $5471 4yr/100Kmiles

3. Showed the SA my quote from Warranty Direct (much cheaper), and asked him if they would accept this warranty and said "Yes, why not"...
so this time, im really leaning on getting my extended warranty from WD.

and comes another question? LuxuryCare or SecureCare Plus?

I never even spoke to them once...the dealer handled everything.

By the way...forgot to mention that my coverage was with Warranty Direct. My SA said they were simple to deal with.
