    Is there an online version of the "Owner's warranty info booklet"?. Trying to compare extended warranty to standard version.
    F&I at the dealer was trying to sell me on the extended warranty claiming that the extended covered "Anything" that happened, accidental damage or not. I can't find this in writing anywhere.
    Thanks for your help.

    Drop an email to [email protected] if you have any questions you would like answered. Plus, you can request a quote that I'm about 99% certain will be able to beat your dealership's.

    Thanks
    Mail is on the way.
    Has anyone done a comparison on the value of the extended warranty over the standard? There are a number of discussions on the subject but nothing that shows any additional advantage during the 36/36000 overlap period.

    There is no coverage overlap during the 3/36 period. The only real advantage to getting it sooner than later is locking in your price-point. Also, if you sell the car, if you have purchased the ESP (Extended Service Plan) you can do a transfer to the new owner for a one-time fee, but once the car is sold it no longer is eligible to have the ESP added to it.
