100000 mi/10 year Hyundai Extended Warranty--Good Price??
 

I am getting a new Sonata in a few days and have been offered the
Hyundai warranty for $1188. Anybody get a better price? I think it is
way too high. Thanks---Johnboy

I was offered a 10yr 100,000 bumper to bumper for $800. These are not
offered by Hyundai, they are third party companies. Usually some kind of
insurance company.

I don't get it. Since you are getting a 60,000 mile basic warranty, and
100,000 mile powertrain warranty, that seems an awful lot for what is
actually very little additional protection.

I guess it comes down to your perception of the reliability of the vehicle
your first five years (and anything not already covered).

In my world, if you have that little confidence in the car, you shouldn't be
buying the car in the first place. I have always turned down such offers,
and have never regretted it.

IMHO it would be better to obtain an extended warranty from someone
other than Hyundai. The Hyundai dealer Service Manager's job is to
find excuses not to honor the Hyundai warranty. You won't have that
problem if you go with a reputable 3rd party.

I didn't consider it seriously but one virtue claimed by the dealer was
increased resale value. The standard 10 yr warranty isn't transferable.
(As stated by the dealer, again, I didn't even consider it).

I was told the list price is 995 when you buy the car, but can be added
within the first year for 1295. I got mine for 900 (plus tax).

I was told the standard 5 yrs/50k mile (not 60k) warranty is
transferrable, but the 10 yr/100k mile power train is not. The extended
warranty from Hyundai is transferable, and covers the power train as
well.

I checked warratydirect.com for a comparable price and got like $1250
to get a 10 yrs/100k warranty. So 900 seemed like a good price.

I have bought 2 extended warranties - 93 and 99 dodage carvans. Both
were well worth it (no surprise there!). I never had a problem
collecting on the dodge warranty from the dodge dealer.

I agree in principle with the "if you trust the car why get the
warranty" statement, but the fact is things can happen. For 900 i get
some peace of mind that if the water pump goes at 80k, or AC blows at
65k, then its covered.

I would think that more provlems would show up in the 2nd 50k not the
first 50k.

Oh, the one down the street from here is a real ass-monkey. When my
son's '00 Accent transmission started having trouble I called him
regarding the warranty. The first thing to come out of his mouth was
that in the State of Florida all fluid changes and service work has to
be done at the Extreme Service intervals or they wouldn't honor the
Hyundai warranty.

Show me that in writing somewhere...
