I am getting a new Sonata in a few days and have been offered the
Hyundai warranty for $1188. Anybody get a better price? I think it is
way too high. Thanks---Johnboy
 
I was offered a 10yr 100,000 bumper to bumper for $800. These are not
offered by Hyundai, they are third party companies. Usually some kind of
insurance company.

I don't get it. Since you are getting a 60,000 mile basic warranty, and
100,000 mile powertrain warranty, that seems an awful lot for what is
actually very little additional protection.

I guess it comes down to your perception of the reliability of the vehicle
your first five years (and anything not already covered).

In my world, if you have that little confidence in the car, you shouldn't be
buying the car in the first place. I have always turned down such offers,
and have never regretted it.

IMHO it would be better to obtain an extended warranty from someone
other than Hyundai. The Hyundai dealer Service Manager's job is to
find excuses not to honor the Hyundai warranty. You won't have that
problem if you go with a reputable 3rd party.

I didn't consider it seriously but one virtue claimed by the dealer was
increased resale value. The standard 10 yr warranty isn't transferable.
(As stated by the dealer, again, I didn't even consider it).

gerry
 
I was told the list price is 995 when you buy the car, but can be added
within the first year for 1295. I got mine for 900 (plus tax).

I was told the standard 5 yrs/50k mile (not 60k) warranty is
transferrable, but the 10 yr/100k mile power train is not. The extended
warranty from Hyundai is transferable, and covers the power train as
well.

I checked warratydirect.com for a comparable price and got like $1250
to get a 10 yrs/100k warranty. So 900 seemed like a good price.

I have bought 2 extended warranties - 93 and 99 dodage carvans. Both
were well worth it (no surprise there!). I never had a problem
collecting on the dodge warranty from the dodge dealer.

I agree in principle with the "if you trust the car why get the
warranty" statement, but the fact is things can happen. For 900 i get
some peace of mind that if the water pump goes at 80k, or AC blows at
65k, then its covered.

I would think that more provlems would show up in the 2nd 50k not the
first 50k.
 
well then the Service Manager's you have dealt with shouldnt be working.. I
have NEVER had a problem with anything at Hyundai.. and my 04 Elantra GT had
a few problems.. MAJOR ones that I never had a problem getting repaired..

Oh, the one down the street from here is a real ass-monkey. When my
son's '00 Accent transmission started having trouble I called him
regarding the warranty. The first thing to come out of his mouth was
that in the State of Florida all fluid changes and service work has to
be done at the Extreme Service intervals or they wouldn't honor the
Hyundai warranty.

Show me that in writing somewhere...

Right, with a 3rd party warranty nobody will honor it. My nephew just
had this problem with a extended warranty he bought on a Chevy Blazer.
The Chevy dealer near his home refused to honor it as it wasn't a Chevy
warranty. He had to drive 50 miles to the dealer where he bought the
vehicle and the warranty.

The last extended warranty I had was on my Astro van through Allstate.
I'd take it somewhere to be serviced and the warranty company would
provide the dealer with a credit card number. Never had a problem.

I got my Hyundai Factory extended warranty in 2002 for $1050 , the dealer
added in his lifetime lof's .....I have been every 3 months now and figure I
have
ate up half of the price so far.

Plan on keeping it for the 10 years , my wife has 7200k for 3 1/2 years , still
runs like new.
Retired.
If it ain't broke I don't fix it !

Waste of money. You'd be better off putting that $1k towards paying off
your car faster or putting it in the bank towards future repairs if
you're that worried. You might never have a problem & then the money
will still be available unlike if you buy the warranty. 5yr/60k bumper
to bumper & 10yr/100k powertrain is better than what most other car
companies offer anyways. The extended warranty makes even less sense if
you get rid of your car around the 5 or 6 year mark. Course most people
will probably exceed 100k before they keep the car 10 years.
 
our 2001 accent developed noisy lifters
at around the end of the original warranty.
foretunately this car was purchased w/a extended bumper to bumper
warranty to cover the veh for 10/100k.
the dealer still tried to weasel out of the free repair by stating
mobil 1 oil was insufficient for hyundai engines. also the dealer
questioned our maintainance of the car. showing our receipts etc
silenced him.
the dealers try to bully customers into having maint performed only
by them and then double dipping by charging the factory
and customer for work performed.
 
why wouldn't you change the filter and trans fluid at the recommended
mileage?(30k?)
its a simple and inexpensive procedure for a do it yourselfer. bought
our fluid and filter from the dealer using a discount coupon they mailed
to us.
also,its cheap insurance to protect your investment and one less
excuse for the dealer to blame you should you actually develop trans
probs.
then he bills you a small amount to show he's a nice guy while also
billing the factory for actual work.
our highway mileage is a consistant 45-50mpg city is about 27mpg
we intend to keep our accent the full10years.
