Extension of warranty.
-
my dad got a letter to extend the warranty from 3yrs/100 000km* to 5years/140 000km* for $888. have to decide by 31st Jan. (*whichever comes first)
the 7-mth old Mazda 3 has clocked 17 000km.
doing some simple calculations, i would reach the 3rd year mark... but surpass the 140 000km mark even before the car reaches its 5th year.
asked my father simple questions like...
"u cannot change car for 5 yrs to fully benefit from the extended warranty."
den he kept quiet.
on the car's 2nd year onwards, i'll use it to commute everyday frm home in tampines to ntu so the mileage will increase quickly.
does the car really have lotsa problems 3rd year onwards? should i go for the extended warranty? -
if you want to enjoy that extended warranty, then you better not modify anything in the engine or anywhere throughout the warranty period. Modified outside = warranty void. other than that, if the car develops problems, just send in loh... since its under warranty.
Nowadays seeing more and more extended warranty offers for more cars... new marketing tactic
