Used car warranties


bigdog10

Recommended Posts

Bought my first used car today and was curious for some opinions on the used car warranty. 

Anybody get one?  

i bought a truck that I'll probably only put about 10,000 miles on a year. The truck is 9,000 miles away from the manufacturer warranty and has the 100,000 powertrain. 

The extended warranty would be for 4 years or 48,000 miles. 

The truck is a GMC Sierra if that matters at all. I know dependability is always a question with these things.

What is your model year?  I will look it up on Consumer Reports.

Common Problems & Reliability History

Below, we highlight several key "hidden" protections you may not be aware of, discovered through service campaigns and technical service bulletins. TSBs highlight common potential problems with models and provide corrective measures to dealerships. The items flagged below are of particular note, indicating a potential risk, and a potential correction, should you experience the specific issue. In some cases, an extended warranty may offer additional protection for a particular at-risk component.
Common Problems

There are three recalls and eight service campaigns/warranty extensions of note:   icon_expand.png More
Service bulletins
2007 models with the 6.0- or 6.2-liter may have a defect with the intake valves, which causes an engine misfire, hard start, hesitation, and/or noise. This requires a new engine, covered under the 5-yr/ 100,000-mile powertrain warranty (09-06-01-006); and some may need a new fuel pump relay for a buzzing or humming (06-06-03-01b)  icon_expand.png More

    • Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways. 
    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
