Hi All

I recently picked up a CPO P400 Defender X with 25k miles and Carfax clean with normal services vs others with a bunch of "engine/drivetrain module" checked

I was offered an extended warranty for an additional 2 years for 5,300.

The issues I have seen are:
Aux Radiator replacement which could be around $1k
Matrix DRL (I have a local headlight retrofit company which can repair for under $1k. or I can DIY)
Leaking Air Suspension ~$1k per shock

I'm leaning towards opting out and saving the money ($5300 Maintenance fund in my bank account). I can pay for the services when they happen and plan on keeping the car for the long term. I used to own a Nissan GTR and okay with 3k repair bills when they infrequently occurred)

Should I get this warranty or save the money?

Thank you all!

 

I usually avoid extended warranties and prefer to set money aside for future repairs. In January, right before my warranty was up, I bought an 8-yr/120k mile extended warranty with zero deductible that covers basically everything except for interior and exterior trim pieces for just over $4,500 from my dealer, which was a discounted rate. So far, I haven't had to use it, but will most likely get my money back down the road, as I don't plan on selling it.

Make sure to read the fine print and see exactly what is covered and what isn't, and see if there is a deductible or anything that stands out.

 

Three weeks ago I got a quote from my JLR dealer for an extended warranty on my 2022 110SE P400.

It would extend the factory warranty by 5 years or to 100,000 miles. This sounded great! Exact same coverage from the factory but basically the same level warranty that Kia and Hyundais come with standard.

Except the quote I got was $8000.

Sorry, not biting on that.

 

Thanks Cincy and Tad! Overall I haven't seen many nightmare and these repair cost are fairly reasonable.

 

Save your money in the maintenance fund account.
