Most dealers offer this as do some online sites. The prices probably range from $2,000-$4,000 depending on length and how much they're willing to dey doiscount the warranty. The coverage and options are detailed here https://owners.nissanusa.com/content/te ... tended.pdf
The only way to get a Nissan extended warranty on a vehicle that's exceeded the 3/36 is for a dealer to certify it. They only do this to cars are selling, so you would have to buy the vehicle from the dealer. You can't just take them your car and have it certified. They can certify cars up to six years or 80k miles. The CPO warranty is largely just powertrain coverage for 7 years/100k miles. BUT you can then add a full Nissan Security Plus warrnaty to a CPO car which gets you pretty close to full bumper-to-bumper for the 7/100k or 8/120k. A CPO car is typically about $1,500 more than a non-CPO car.
So after you pay for a CPO car and then add an extended warranty....your wallet is light at least $3,500. I'm just hitting the 120k mark which would be the limit for these warranties and I've had one item that would have been covered by these warranties. I spent $200 to fix it but a dealer would have charged about $350. Very glad I didn't buy an extended warranty!
I've owned one vehicle that had an extended warranty. It was a Toyota Tacoma and I bought it used. The prior owner had paid for a 100k bumper-to-bumper Toyota warranty and for $50 I was able to transfer it. I don't know what he paid for it, but I had an AC problem around the 80k mile mark and the condenser was replaced. Dealer stated it would have run about $800. I didn't have another problems with that vehicle during the warranty period. Certainly worth the $50 but I'm guessing the original owner paid far more than $800 for it.mikeyhill wrote:My last 2 cars i paid for extended warranty and between the deductible i would have to pay it wasnt really worth it.
