Hey, so I just bought my third Infiniti, a 2017 QX70S. I had an 03 G35 Coupe for years, and I've had a 2012 G37S Sedan for almost 6 years now. This one was a good deal and only about 23k miles, so I flew to Arkansas to pick it up, and just got back home to San Diego the other day.
The whole buying process was smooth (bought from a Lincoln/Ford dealer), but the finance guy offered an extended warranty.
I had thought that the factory warranty on these was 4 years/48,000, but the Carfax said right on it "factory warranty expired," even though it's only about 3 years old. The one he offered me was for 100,000 miles, unlimited time. Told me that was $3,800, and I said I was okay without it. He then dropped the price to $2,800 and lowered the interest rate as well with the "friends and family discount." I wanted to get going, so I bit and said okay. Now I'm wondering if that was a mistake. I've never had to do anything beyond routine maintenance on my G37, and the G35 was just a couple minor things. I only drive about 8,000 miles a year, and I can easily pay for any unexpected repairs if necessary.
So my questions are, should I still be under factory warranty? Is the extended warranty I bought a good deal, or should I try to cancel it? And are these cars pretty reliable to where you don't really need one? I was looking at the BMW X6M and Porsche Macan, but ended up going with Infiniti in part because of the much lower operating costs. Thanks in advance!
