Extended Warrenty Program getting Closer

Jalpa_Mike said:

I talked with my local dealer today, and they said that Maserati has sent out the extended warrenty informational packages to the dealers and should be ready to implement by the end of February.

My warranty expires mid-March, so looks like it will arrive in the nick of time.

Interested to see if an extension for year 5 is offered in the US.
In the UK we only get three years warranty from new. Maserati (eventually) came up with a year 4 extension (expensive). When I went back at the start of year 5 they were not interested in discussing further extensions.

Odd thing is if I sell it to them and buy it back they will offer me a warranty!

I have learned to take these Extended Warrarnty announcements as the old saying, "I will beleive it when I see it"

I have driving on "borrowed time" out of warranty since June 2006

I would have a darker head of hair if I could put a warranty back on my car.

warranty, what warranty

02 spyder cc never had one, purschased salvage in 02, car was rear ended at stop. only bad experience was columbus ohio dealer. i posted my experience with him already. not customer friendly to my car.

8 more days in February and counting....

Anyone, anyone???

I am going to call FMSF to see if they have word

Just as I thought...

the Plan which is mentioned here, only pertains to Used vehicles purchased from here on, not to our vehicles which were bought previously.

there is nothing being discussed or ready to be offered to current out of warranty owners.

So I'll sell the car back to the dealer for a dollar, then they can sell it to me for whatever the cost of the warranty is...

That sucks that they won't provide a warranty, even for a dealer-serviced car in first class condition.

I would seriously consider selling it back and forth like above if the economics made sense.

In the meantime, the 2" of frozen sludge on my driveway has the Maserati locked in the garage...I think I'll start her up today just to hear the rumble...

there is no way

Isn't there sales tax and registration fees in PA?

In CA, a decent gauge is 10% of the purchase price (sales tax alone is 8.75%), aasume the car is worth $40k, that would be $4000 in taxes/reg/licencing, plus the cost of the waranty.

in addition, the dealer i believe on a CPO has to put the car to a Set minimum standard before calling it a CPO and selling it back to anyone. we know what dealers charge for their time and parts.

if you find a dealer willing to forgo the above, let me know, perhaps it will be Kenny Lay Ferrari/Maserati of Texas?
