Extended warranty - Auto Advantage
 

OK, so it looks like I'll be keeping my 2005 4.8is since the values have plummeted over the last 6 months - but not without an extended warranty. I have looked at a buch of them, and Auto Advantage seems to have the best price to coverage ratio -- their bumper to bumper coverage looks like:

$100.00 Deductible Per Repair Visit
3 Year/ 50,000 Total Odometer Miles- $1,332.00
3 Year/ 60,000 Total Odometer Miles- $1,526.00
3 Year/ 75,000 Total Odometer Miles- $1,815.00
3 Year/ 85,000 Total Odometer Miles- $1,964.00
3 Year/100,000 Total Odometer Miles-$2,194.00
4 Year/ 60,000 Total Odometer Miles- $1,694.00
4 Year/ 75,000 Total Odometer Miles- $1,916.00
4 Year/100,000 Total Odometer Miles- $2,555.00
5 Year/ 50,000 Total Odometer Miles- $1,554.00
5 Year/ 60,000 Total Odometer Miles- $1,749.00
5 Year/ 75,000 Total Odometer Miles- $1,906.00
5 Year/100,000 Total Odometer Miles- $2,699.00
6 Year/ 60,000 Total Odometer Miles- $2,045.00
6 Year/ 75,000 Total Odometer Miles- $2,395.00
6 Year/100,000 Total Odometer Miles- $3,105.00

Far better than Warranty Direct or Fidelity. So, Does anyone have any experience with them covering claims? I did a search but came up with very little... Any input would be very appreciated!

Sorry I don't have any feedback on extended warranties but have you considered socking away money for repairs/maintenance?

Then if you don't use that money for the X you'll still have CASH for whatever.

$50/week, $200/month, $2400/year. That adds up over a few years.

I'm NOT against warranties but the inconsistent stories about claims not being covered worries me.

Good luck anyways! :thumbup:

Wow ... that's pretty inexpensive. Have you had good luck with claims?

no problem at all.

What have you had done to the car that was covered?

Mr BMW -- wow that is a good deal...

What is the name of the company? Is the warranty transferrable if i sell the vehicle in the future? And like Daka asked, what have you had done that they covered?

Thanks!

it called
Dealer Services (DS)

and yes it is transferrable or you can cancel anytime.

Hey Mr. BMW --

Glad you're having luck, but a quick Google search yielded some not too impressive results on that company from a long list of unhappy people....

Right now it is either Auto Advantage or the TwinsPoppa route of putting $ away and praying for the best

Make sure you read the fine print i have went through Auto Advantage for my warranty did you talk with Hal Moses. Great guy! Again read through the warranty mine covered wear and tear items, no real stilplation like some will say needs to show reciept of all maintence care, will probably send a inspector before the covered repair is done. Mine does not have none of that bull! Also ask what the labor rate they will cover, mine will cover up to $100 labor charge some are like $85 so make sure you read the whole contract.

Also depending on how many miles you put on the car a month i would think 4/100k with a 0$ deductible is the best, I know you said $100 deductible see if you can get $0. Because you are going to pay($100) that every time you bring your car to the repair shop which you know this vehicle goes in a lot.

A good warranty is an investment, especially on these vehicles.
