Just bought a 2024 Mazda CX-5. Was offered all the standard crap the finance guy usually does. One option he gave me: 10 year, 75K mile electronics warranty. $50 deductible ($100 at other dealers) for We will put about 7500 miles a year on this car. The CX-5 is a premium model so lots of bells and whistles. Any reason to have warranty on these modern cars? |

Who is the warranty from?
How much for a bumper-to-bumper on the same timeframe? |

I would only look at OEM warranty options. Aftermarket companies come and go at an amazing pace.

Also when they offer a year/mileage, that often starts when you buy the car, it doesn't add 10 years and added miles to your 60/60 (in most cases, so don't beat me up if you know one that does) I'm looking at adding one due to the numerous issues Explorers have, and I've heard good and bad about aftermarket ones like Endurance, Car Shield, Ox Car car, and others. The OEM contracts are better because the dealerships do the work and usually you'll get OEM parts, unlike some aftermarket policies (read them, they'll indicate used or aftermarket parts can be used) |

We deal with them all the time. The small operations are a pain to deal with, National is the big name. The Ford warranty was the best I’ve been around, and it was on a Mercedes. Covered fluids and hardware, that’s rare.
Their job is to take your money then find any possible way to decline coverage. Be prepared. You need a CD player, but the CD player only comes as part of the radio? Darn, looks like that isn’t covered. All. The. Time. |

Threatening to leave because they're trying to sell you junk that needs additional warranties can be funny. |

You purchased the ARFCOM highly regarded Mazda CUV. If I didn't buy one for my maligned Chebby Equinox, surely you don't need one for your Mazda.

I’ve never bought them for my vehicles. I prefer to take the risk of having a major repair. I’m already over $1k in case something comes up.

The last new car I bought the finance lady pulled this. Said oh they have lots of electronics you don’t want to get stuck with that bill. I simply replied, is this car so shitty I can expect it to break early and should stop this deal right now? She dropped it real quick.

I've purchased 2 vehicles and gotten the extended warranty and never needed it. Professionally, I deal with the companies on a daily basis. Some of them are great, some of them are horrible. I've seen customers get new engines and only pay their deductible, I've also seen them out of pocket a few thousand dollars. It boils down to the contract you actually sign and the company's willingness to work with shops.

I bought HondaCare for my Pilot. $1200 takes the warranty to 8yr/120k. I thought it was a good deal.

The CX-5 is a premium model so lots of bells and whistles. Any reason to have warranty on these modern cars? I had a 2019 cx5 gtr. I got the 10y/150k mi warranty. Bumper to bumper, via CNA, sold through my dealer. $2400. During the 2.5y and 80k miles I had it, they replaced 5 folding mirror motors. Like clockwork at 25k mi. I traded at 80k and the 6th was going out. It was about $400 a pop including labor. Zero charge to me, though, no issue with that. I then got $1300 back for canceling contract early, prorated, upon trade. I always buy a CNA backed max available coverage. I have 10y/120k mi on my Kia ev6 GT from CNA, as we speak. Eta: CNA covers everything, including a loaner because mirrors are a safety device. No out of pocket. No nothing. It was the same as the factory bumper to bumper experience, if not better. I will only buy CNA or manufacturer warranty. |

2 more examples this week. We had a guy hit a pot hole, needed new tires, a rim and ball joints. They would only cover $80 for mounting and balancing, impact damage isn't covered on the ball joints, and I still haven't heard if they're covering the rim. He's on the hook for over 70% of the bill.
A lady came in and needs a rack and pinion on an Explorer. Warranty only would cover $100 an hour, but then told me the rack isn't covered she has drive train only. She's on the hook for the whole bill. Probably close to what she paid for the Warranty to begin with.

Should have him contact the road authority to file a claim... especially if it is modot. |
