Q: about taking bumper to bumper warranty for my car?
i recently bought a 2006 nissan murano, 27k miles, from dealer. the car has powertrain warranty left until Oct 25, 2011. nissan powertrain warranty covers engine, transmission and transaxle, drivetrain and air bags and related electronics. now my question is

My specific question is :

if i buy a 3rd party “bumper to bumper ” warranty right now, what other frequently failing BIG TICKET items be covered other than those already covered under the existing powertrain warranty of my car? one thing i can think of is the AC, what else?? (big ticket means more than 300-400 bucks). please specify..

A: If you’re buying an extended warranty, you should simply buy the manufacturer’s warranty, period. Aftermarket warranties may seem less expensive at first, but the only customer for whom they’re a better option than the manufacturer’s extended warranty is one for whom buying an extended warranty from the manufacturer isn’t an option. Provided your current warranty hasn’t expired, you should still have the opportunity to purchase a warranty from Nissan.

Nissan has the responsibility to fix your vehicle, which it will do with Nissan parts. It also has the additional motive of wanting to retain you as a customer. Aftermarket warranty companies have no such loyalty goals. Their objective is as simple as it is direct, to limit the amount of repair costs they’re made to pay over the life of the warranty; and they’re expert.

While the “bumper-to-bumper” aspect might limit their ability to deny coverage based upon the item that requires repair, there’s no end to the number of other ways aftermarket guarantors can try, from claiming “unusual” wear and tear to regurgitating fine print in whatever way happens to suit them best. Nissan would simply fix it. Keep in mind it’s also cheaper for Nissan to fix the vehicle, as they are the provider of the parts being used.

As for non-powertrain items that can fail, it can be anything from the air conditioner, cooling system, steering, fuel system, corrosion, and myriad other items. If you have a list of what’s covered under Nissan’s powertrain warranty, anything that’s not listed won’t.

Best of luck. I hope this helps.

Q: should i buy a extended warranty when my car still has manufacturer’s powertrain warranty?
i recently bought a 2006 nissan murano, 27k miles, from dealer. the car has powertrain warranty left until Oct 25, 2011. nissan powertrain warranty covers engine, transmission and transaxle, drivetrain and air bags and related electronics. now my question is
1. do I immediately need to buy a third party coverage which covers everything? or should I wait some time and buy just b4 the powertrain coverage ends? i dont want to put another 13-1400 bucks right now if its not that necassary immediately.

2. if i buy a 3rd party “bumper to bumper ” warranty right now, what other frequently failing BIG TICKET items be covered other than those already covered under the existing powertrain coverage of my car? one thing i can think of is the AC, what else?? (big ticket means more than 300-400 bucks)

if there is not much other big ticket item left that’s not covered by my powertrain warranty, then i guess for now i can wait and buy the extended warranty just b4 the powertrain coverage ends.

pls advice in detail.. many thanks..

A: save your money, half of those warranties out there are a rip-off.

Q: What car should i get?
Hi we are looking for a new car (automatic no manual) and below i will give you my preferences and what i have test driven. and no i dont have to have all my preferences met but are listed most important to least. thanks:

PREFERENCES:

under $22,000
mid size suv or maybe minivan, no sedans, coupes, or trucks
under 50,000 miles
No V8, V6 yes, 4 cyl eh only if it has some power
no older than MY 2007
good MPG, preferably around 18/23 or higher
power seats
4×4 or AWD
garage opener
dvd for kids might be nice
leather is something i could care less about i like leather and cloth equally

TEST DRIVES:

2007 equinox: 1/10 felt really cheap no features very uncomfortable

2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7L: 7/10 felt sooo nice and fully loaded except navi but its a gas hog horrible MPG and only a 2006

2004 BMW X3: 7.5/10 it was nice to try a BMW it was very nice and rode as good as the jeep but too many miles and too old but great price. Probably cant afford maintenance or parts

2010 Nissan Rogue: 3/10 omg it was so horrible it was loud, hard to see out back, felt so crappy and idk jsut didnt like anything about it.

2009 Ford Escape XLT: 4/10 i really hated this too the transmission or something sounded aweful sounded so crappy and interior felt crappy.

2007 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer: 4.5/10 tried another ford to see if it was just that escape but no all fords sound that crappy. 4 of the points are from the cool folding guard rail lol.

2007 Nissan Murano: 8/10 nice color, good on gas, rode really nice, still had some warranty, but not too many features and ONLY $16000!

2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee: 7.5/10 nicest ride out of all test drives and sunroof/some features but horrible MPG and color wasnt too great but it was the smoothest of all the test drives

2011 Jeep Patriot NEW: 5/10 it was ok but im not spending $26k for something that only gets a 4.5/10 for me. no features really and ride wasnt as good as grand cherokee

2007 Honda CR-v: 6/10 it was somewhat loaded with features but I could feel every bump and front seats were uncomfortable and still no power seats even though it was EX-L!!!

2008 Honda Pilot: 7/10 it was pretty smooth probably second best/smoothest ride quality (2008 jeep is first, murano is tied for second) but no features really and MPG is ok.

So from all of these please give me some good options.

also, im interested in Mercury Mariner but will that be just as crappy as ford escape?

and no kias or hyundais they are all POS

thanks:)
yes they are POS and they dont look that great either

no im not doing carmax they bump up the price and dont give any good warranties or anything they are crap

no mazdas i looked at a cx7 or whatever that new suv they have is and it was so ugly and cheap looking mazdas have a horrible name.

A: look at the mileage too, you dont want somethin with a whole lot of miles. I’d go through carmax if I were you, you can use their search to fin the criteria you want. I am glad you dont want a hyundai mine is a POS and I have to take out 5 parts for the extra inch to get the part I need out. It makes every repair a pain. I believe Nissans have a pretty good name and so do toyotas.
