extended warranties...

[Wheels]

i've been researching warranties... and i got a quote from warranties direct for my tahoe: 1600.00 for 5yr/75k miles. covers wear and tear, engine, trans, coolant, gaskets, seals, etc. and i get to choose the shop i take it to for the repairs.

has anyone had any experience with Warranties Direct? if so... was a good experience or bad?

I believe i'm going to purchase the warranty... but, i wanted to get some opinions first.

vehicle info: 98 2 door 4x4 with 87k miles.

thanks in advance,

It does not look like it coveres the actual tranny. Just parts of it.


But also, How many miles does your hoe have on it. Make sure their not saying it ends when your OD hits 75k. If it does, no deal, It would be an awsome deal if it meand 75k miles and 5 years from today.

My Hoe has 87k miles on it. so, it's 75k miles from that: meaning it would expire when i hit 162k miles.... or 5yrs from purchase date.

and...

if by saying "Tranny", you mean transmission... then wouldn't this cover everything?

""Transmission -

(c) Transmission case, transfer case & torque converter case. ""


what else is there to cover with the transmission?? forgive me... b/c i really don't know.

thanks

Good milage then.

But whats puzzling me is how vauge they are on the tranny. It (to me, i have been very wrong before) looks like it coveres parts. But if you actully needed a new tranny, It looks like it does not cover it.
