Extended Warranty - Yes I've searched ;-)

[Blade69]

I know there are a few "Extended Warranty" threads but none seemed to help me in my search. I bought my 2004 X5 4.8is from a used car dealership. I signed up with the warranty they offered because I didn't want to drive off the lot without coverage until I could get the vehicle checked out. After reading quite a few threads, I'm pretty positive I want to keep a warranty on it because of all the horror stories I've heard about the 2004s. So I started searching online and calling around for warranties.

Let me get this out of the way, I can't get a CPO warranty. So those of you that have one cannot offer any suggestions unless you found out how to get a CPO warranty on a 3rd owner vehicle. From what I've read, you can't. Also, I'd rather pay a few grand for a warranty rather than trying to stockpile cash. There's always a good reason you convince yourself why you have to spend it....lol.

I want to hear from those that have either called, or found a place online that is reasonable. My current extended warranty that I have is for 2/yr 24k miles for $2800. It's not just the powertrain. It covers other items as well. I won't go into the whole list but it's pretty comprehensive. But I would like to think there is a better deal than that out there either price wise or term wise.

Thanks guys.
