I have had an incredibly positive experience with Warranty Direct. Last repair was to replace an a/c core that would have cost me $2,900. They paid without question

Your policy is also only as good as the SA / technician who handles the call with WD FWIW in my experiance.

I had a mixed experience with WD but this was the 1st time I used them when my water pump went south on me. Their customer service was rude as well....I emailed my *cs* issue to my sales rep who in turned CC another customer service manger who was going to call me re: my CS experiance. Never got a call back.

blondeboisd, sorry to ask you this, but do you think myspace is safe? i saw your signature that promotes myspace. hmm, never like it in the first place, lots of kids use it and get exposed to the world.lawsuits are piling up. its the matter of time myspace be brought down, or scaled down. they just dont screen registered member enough to make it safe. a lot of other sites that do the same stuff like myspace do screen out and delete violating profiles. not in the case of myspace. if you support fight of hiv, please support the fight of letting kids on myspace. i will much appreciate you if you feel the same way. one user less a day would make a difference.

thank you for all your responses, i decide to go with WD securecare+ plan even though i still have plenty of time on my factory warranty, but the rep. told me the sooner i buy the cheaper the price. its a 4 years/85K miles plan, since my car has a very low mileage so (until) 85K miles would take care of me for the next 4 years. all i have to do is call in with the reference number (quote) 60 days before the bmw original warranty expires. i dont know if ever use it, i just want to be safe. my other car (the x) still has 2 years and 20K miles left on other third party company which only covers power train, and i never use it except for 1 roadside assistant call.

I dunno if you may be Mistaken or the rep misquoted but yes, the rate does vary from the time of purchase - whether it be 2 years before the OE warranty or 2 days before the OEM warranty.

However, unless things have changed, I don't see how you can get a *firm* quote and just call 2 months prior to the OEM warranty expiring before buying that firm quote. The quote they give you is also factoring in how much mielage you have had on car at the *current* time, etc.

Also bear in mind, that if you buy a 4 year, 85K warranty and you still have let's say, 1 year left on you warranty, the 4 years is EFFECTIVE from the date it was purchased.

I would just call WD and make sure what all these things are clear to you....

IMO, I would buy it a few week shy of the warranty expiring. Alot can happen between now and then.....

We had the LuxuryCare plan from warrantydirect until we sold our X. 95% of the claims were approved w/o a problem. The dealer had no problem with them as well. I recommend WarrantyDirect without hesitation. We definitely made FULL use of the warranty in our 01 from 50-87k miles.

Buying one year(s) ahead of when you really want it/need it
to kick in, does not make fiscal sense to me.
