Had the car inspected by an independent shop; found a couple of issues such as engine oil leaking and differential oil leaking; had the issues checked and repaired.
Found a oil stain after picking up the car home, verified as transmission oil leaking from transmission cooler orings and got repaired.
Warranty will be expired soon. Should I buy extended warranty? [IMG][/IMG]

Another one bites the dust! I'm looking at it like why buy an extended warranty when the biggest ticket items are brand new now anyway.. and I was told my new motor comes with a two year warranty. I believe that exchange = remanufactured. |
Thanks. I was told there is one year warranty for the new engine.
My Volvo XC70 is 16 years old now and there is no major issues. This 2016 BMW is only 38k kms, and it should not have so many problems; engine failure, output shaft seal leaking, transmission cooler O-ring leaking. But on the other hand, the engine is new with one year warranty and all issues were fixed. Probably I will not proceed with an extended warranty. |
Don't get me wrong there are still plenty of things that can go wrong (knock on wood) and make an extended warranty worth it. It just seems less likely after so much has been done already.
