I bought my 2012 Elantra in October. I didn't want the extended warranty at the time but I did ask about it. My salesman wasn't really informed about it and told me they had all kinds of warranties but he wasn't sure about them. He offered to bring someone over to talk to me about them. I told him to forget it, I wasn't interested anyway.
I bought the extended warranty for my 2004 Sonata. It was the best warranty they had at the time. It was about $800. The 2004 has almost
90,000 miles on it. My warranty has covered a few repairs. A bad pulley running the belt, a leaking front end part (grease boot cracked) and a bad coil. I probably broke even on the repairs, maybe came out ahead if the dealer would have done the work. : )Anyway, I get a letter from my salesman to call him and ask about an extended warranty. I call and they say he no longer works there but put me through to someone who knows about the warranties. The guy proceeds to tell me they offer a 10 year, 100,000 mile "wraparound" warranty, a "key protection" warranty and a "Tire Protection" warranty.
He's going to look my car up and see what the price would be for each one. I doubt I'll get any but I would like to see what the price would be for each.
Has anyone bought any of these warranties? I did tell him I want some type of spare tire, either a donut or a rim, even a steel one I can mount a tire on. I can't see driving a car with no way to fix a flat tire, even though I haven't needed one in a long time. I am of the belief that a spare tire is a necessity, not a luxury.
