I hope you didn't pay an obscene amount of money for Xzilon

Very reasonable with family discount. Money left over for beer

I just fixed gear box, it was need to replace the gasket inside leaking...My car 07 Suzuki GV with only 22K, so the warranty is also 5/100 and it was done by warranty. The second time when I do something major, the first was I broke 4WD system switching back/forth during my trip in winter from Boston to calgary, so they replaced it free of charge and total was $7K as far as I saw the bill. So I asked a FI guy how much extended warranty will cost for an extra 3 years (I am running out of warranty now), so for the next 3 years or 160K km in total I will need to pay ....guess...$3790!!!! and this is not from Suzuki, this is aftermarket one...I walked away...I used to have ex.w for our Toyota, paid on delivery new vehicle around $1200. Since day I toyota was giving problems, eventhough Boch-Toyota tried to ruin my credit etc,,,I refused to pay for service they didnt fix something on brand new vehicle....after 5 years they filed a complain with credit bureau..but point is when I was needed to fix something by this stupid ex.war...that company in IL refused to honour it and pay for it saying I must pay first and then they will reimburse it to me...so honestly I dont know what to do when you are out of warranty, besides selling/trading in...

Question for the folks that were offered to extend warranty by Hyundai after delivery, was the price different after x months than when you first took delivery?

I wonder if there is "window" after which the economics are no longer favorable to buy extended after delivery.

Neither my wife nor I have ever called to inquire what the coverage(s) and price(s) were for those X-tended warranty offerings were that we received in the mail, after the fact. Sorry. But now I'm curious! If I get another one, or can lay my hands on the one we got a few weeks ago, I'll call to satisfy that curiosity.

Heard back from Hyundai Canada today. Didn't answer question re extending Audio portion of warranty but did confirm that warranty can be extended anytime in the first 36/60k km and then they sent me back to the business office of the dealer

Checked with them and they said anytime in 36/60k as well and since price is quoted on website I assume it's the same no matter when. (assume being the magic word).

The dealer did add an enticement, adding wheel and tire damage if I buy now. Not going to happen.

Yes, I did buy the extended warranty. For peace of mind. It was the platinum 10/100 on everything except brake pads and the like. Made sense for the price they gave me. $.14 a day? Heck yes!

For 0.14 cents a day, you stole that warranty! I'm jealous!

As an apartment dweller, I don't have the option to "fix it myself" so yes. I bought an extended warranty. I figure once it runs out, the car will have enough mileage on it, I'll be ready to trade it in.
