Thinking of buying a extended warraty that is offered through my credit union for around $1000 I can get a extra 4 years and 60k miles. Any input? The company is called members choice.

Never heard of them personally but was quoted I think $3,295 to take mine up to 7/72, another 3 years and roughly 28K miles from where I am at now. I opted not to for now but had the price been better ....

extended warranties are definitely the way to go. i bought mine through GM for around $2700 at 34k miles. i have 64k now and the warranty has already paid for itself twice. front diff., both upper control arms, a/c compressor, both mirrors and many other smaller items. i'd do a little research on the warranty company before going with an independent company, but i know there are some good ones out there. i'd say go for it.

Definitely agree with ya there Shorty ... Sounds like you got a hell of a better deal than I was offered through GM :/ 44K miles on mine and they wanted $3,295 for less than 30K miles and 3 years!? Sounds rather high to me. Hell, my OLD SRT-10 was cheaper to extend the warranty on, it was $2,100 for 3/36K I believe. I take it yours was bumper to bumper coverage!? I wonder what a drive train only would run ..

i was still under factory warranty when i bought mine, but i went with 4 yrs/ 60k miles, so i'm good for another 30k. bumper to bumper with a $100 deductible. i've learned that unless it's a drivability issue to wait until i have 2 or more repairs to have fixed. that way i only pay the deductible once for all the repairs. i had a front hub assembly replaced by an alignment shop, mailed the invoice to GM and they sent me the balance, less my deductible, no questions asked.

extended warranty is such a great idea. just had an axle seal and tranny to transfer case seal replaced, they even waived the deductible because they missed the axle seal last time i was in.

If I didn't lease my vehicles and turn them in before the warrenty was up, I would most definately do it.

Shorty...

With so many repairs, what year is your H2; i.e., are there maybe some years which are more 'repair prone' than others? I'm currently considering a pre-owned '04 or an '05, but I've also found some '03 models for substantially less money. Thanks.

mine's an '03, number 680 or close to that. i use it for what it was intended, so perhaps i go through parts a bit more often than some others. a friend of mine has an'03 as well, and hasn't had any major repairs done to it. i've got 64k miles on mine though, his is just over 36k. a lot of my repairs have been for the same thing as well, the recent axle work was on the 3rd front diff in the truck.

My GMPP 60mo/50,000 mile extended warranty cost me $2,195 for my '06. I always purchase the extended warranty whenever it's offered and although I've never had to utilize all of those that I've purchased, on those that I have, I've more than made-up for the total costs of all those combined...probably even three-fold.

Being I work at a cadillac/hummer dealer my take is differerent. If I were to buy a extended warranty I would buy a GMPP policy because they are easier to work with. There are some companys who don't want to pay the dealers labor rate, parts prices (or send used parts or aftermarket) our labor times plus most times they want a adjuster to look at it which delays thing a couple of more days. With GMPP you call in the labor operation and you get a ok right away and you can get the job done. I will give a couple of examples I had a deville from a ford store here for several weeks getting oks the labor right and the car completed and paid for, Had a eldorado for rear suspention work and they didn't want to pay our parts prices and got the parts somewhere else and made the customer wait 3 months to get his car repaired (he was driving the car while waiting). I have got to the point that we will call your warranty comapny to get oks but the car must be paid before the car leaves at our rates. I am sure there are ok companys out there but with so many choices its hard to keep track. If you are buying a used hummer from a hummer dealer see what hummer used certification costs. Steve

In that case, I'm glad that I opted for the correct one. [my orginal post has been corrected to reflect the actual GMPP policy name]
