Haha, of course they are going to say that. They want you to think your recent extended warranty purchase was a good idea. If you get any fault in the electrical system and you have modified the car, they'll attribute it to the HID retrofit. Good luck arguing Manguson-Moss Act with them when HID retrofits are illegal. If you go so far as to take it to court, you wouldn't have a chance. Imagine paying full price for a new ECU. ouch!

 

Hmm....based on several posts/threads, i'm thinking about cancelling my platinum. I have until the delivery of my tC, which is in about 2 weeks

 

DAMN! if i had known that i could've got it before the regular one expires, i wouldn't have gotten mine.

 

yup do the right thing you don't need it if you're planning to mod your car. if you don't then go ahead and purchase it just to make you feel alright safe and sound from the hassle that may arise in the future....

i cancelled mine after a few weeks coz' i didn't need it and realize hey wtf u know i'm going into the mod thing so the hell with warranty it wouldn't cover it if i messed up something...

so ur call man, you have a choice :D

 

if u plan on keepin the car along time or put alot of miles on it....ull run ur basic warranty out the door!! but the basic warranty is 3yrs/36k and covers electrical and body trim pieces(including interior)

extracare, if purchased will not replace body trim pieces if they are worn out over time, so payin that money is really only covering electrical issues
like o2 sensors, things like that....

its up to you if u wanna spend that money or not
its better to spend the money on extracare than the cheap insurance versions of it, they practically cover NOTHING when claims are called in

just my experience at the dealership from day-day stuff i see

 

you guys need to realize that you really CAN'T void the factory warranty. if you install something that isn't covered, if it breaks something as a direct result of its usage/purppose/installation your warranty isn't voided they just won't fix whatever broke. if you turbocharge your car and you break a spring then BOOM, you're still covered. t/c and blow a piston, they won't fix what you broke, but you still have everything else under warranty.

 

i swear thts wut i just said

 

it's rule of two bro. someone else has to say it before they actually listen

 

ye, but i hate that......
