4yr/50k warranty ending
 

hi everyone..i am getting a little nervous because the original warranty 4yr/50k mile bumper to bumper with maintenance is coming to an end on june 03...i still have 2 more years on the cpo but it does not cover everything and with repairs costing so much i am a little nervous..i was not looking forward to this day even though i knew it would be coming...i hope all goes well...i will probably get an extended warranty at the end of the cpo warranty if i decide to keep the x..i have a 2005 4.4 with 18k miles..thanks rob

If you want to spend the dough, cop an Extended Maintenance deal for another couple years:
it will cover a brake job, an oil change, maybe Insp II, and other "maintenance"/non-CPO stuff.
Shop around and lots of threads on this board about "where to buy". Otoh, that ~$1800+ could
be in your bank and just use dough when you need a maintenance item fixed.

I have a '05 4.4 going out of basic warranty in Aug (similar to you).
I don't have CPO and am leaning toward not purchasing the extended warranty. I have 35k and I figure, in 2 years I may get up to 55k, and don't think I should get into too much trouble. (But I can do a lot of maintenance and repairs myself.)

I understand a lot of people feel better with a warranty, or they tend to take the car in for most services, then I think a warranty and maintenance contract is good (especially because service is so pricey.) So shop around and post the deal you get, so others will know. good luck!
