    Anyone who bought their Hyundai vehicle new purchase the "Hyundai Protection
    Plan". I did yesterday - 10 Years/100,000 Miles bumper to bumper for
    $1,120.00. It seemed like a good deal to extend the bumper to bumper 5
    years.

    Anyone have any insights regarding the advisablity of purchasing the
    extended warranty? Is it a rip off? I think I have time to back out.

  2. Extended warranties generally are a rip-off, especially for that kind of
    money and even more so if they're from a third party company, since they
    have a tendency to go belly-up.

    Me too , Steve might be able to go back and ask to bail out and I'll bet
    they will come up with a better price, I would then drag my feet and
    mention
    he knows someone that got free oil changes for LIFE thrown in by the
    dealer...

    The extended warranty MUST be thru Hyundai NOT the dealer.

    I paid $940 and after 4 1/2 years have got back half of the price in
    oil changes.........

    They offered it to me for $700. I declined. The 5/60,000 and 10/100,000
    drive train factory warranties are good enough for me. Extended
    warranties are like gambling, sometimes you win but the house always has
    the odds in its favor.

    It is so much bull hockey. Watch out. There are a lot of stipulations in
    the thing at the dealer. The Mfg talk a lot differently on the phone. Some
    dealers are unscrupulous and tell you that in order to maintain the
    warranty that you have to buy Hyundai oil filters, transmission fluid, anti
    freeze, air filters, etc. from the dealer at ridiculously high prices. IE:
    Hyundai air filter $34.95 and another $10.00 to install it. Takes an old
    man like me about 1 1/2 mins to install it and the air filter was a fram
    from pep boys fot a little less tha $10.00. Anti freeze at $30.00 a gallon
    and 105 dollars to flush the system after 30,000 miles. Hyundai says that
    the dealer told me a bunch of nonsense and that after 30,000 miles the
    transmission fluid just needs changing, not flushed as does the anti-freeze
    just needs changing and not a system flush. The dealer recommended over
    $800.00 worth of un necesary B/S to be done and said that the warranty is
    not good unless I had them done there. The Dealer was Reliable Imports in
    Springfield Mo. and they have been turned in too. The factory is not happy
    with them at all.

    Good luck

    With a name like 'Reliable' Imports it is no wonder.

  8. Yeah, if they have to tell you in the name, it's probably a lie. Sort of
    like "The Democratic People's Republic of Korea".
