That is for sure a good looking car - assuming it is the one in Roswell. 19K does seem a little high for a 2007 however it is a one owner and looks incredibly clean. I think you should be able to get them to kick in a warranty or come down a few grand. Good Luck Mate.

 

 

Yea - I see what your saying - the one you are looking at for 21k seems pretty high. There are alot of people on this board who have gotten much better deals. For 21K you should be able to get a 2010 and avoid some of the issues you raise. I am unsure how far you are willing to travel but if you are willing to travel and take a chance you will be rewarded. I traveled from raleigh to NJ to look at a car only to fly back home that same day. Then I found a 2010 460L one owner w/ 45K miles in PA for 23K. Ended up driving that one home and have been extremely happy.

 

 

Sounds like a great car!
If you decide on an extended warranty, I was able to get a Platinum level one from CNA, which is very reputable, for 5 1/2 years/48,000 miles for $2,500.
It is exclusionary, and does cover air suspension.
I actually found the best deal through a Chevy dealer in GA.
Can provide contact info if needed.
Best of luck with the new car!

 

 

I wouldn't worry about paying a little more for a car with a perfect service history. I did the same thing last month - bought a one-owner car that had been serviced at the dealer every 5k miles and had no issues.

 

 

The only reason I'd buy the warranty is for the air suspension, but you said they won't cover it with the $2200 warranty. In that case, I'd skip the warranty and put some money in a Vanguard account every month. If you need it for repairs, it's there, and if not, you'll be making money rather than spending it for a warranty you may never use.

 

You are buying a car that's over ten years old plus its the 460 first year. So you can expect some problems even with its excellent history. The 2010 thru 2012 were improved. An extended warranty may be worth it.

 

I think zurich insurance covers the air suspension. BTW I have air suspension and love it. Enjoy your new car.

 

Here is the contact info for the dealer that sells the CNA contract and a copy. GA has better contracts than most other states, some additional protections and clauses.
I ended up with 5 1/2 years/48k miles.

Please disregard the attachment. It is the wrong contract. You would want the Automotive Preferred Care+Plus, the most comprehensive and exclusionary contract.
Good luck!

 

My 2008's air suspension has been flawless, since I found the disconnected wired under the parcel shelf.

I can't imagine it misbehaving in the next 7K miles, which is where you'd be at the end of most any extended warranty.

If it does, hit car-part.com and find a used strut to buy yourself additional years for much, much less than new.

I'm also one of those folks who think 98% of the time, extended warranties do the owner no good. Deductibles, semantics, sometimes even outright lies from the warranty company can make them more trouble to use than they're worth, which is the whole point. Get you to pay up-front, then the company does its utmost to not lay out any funds.

Then again, I'm also a gearhead, and will dive into almost anything (the deep innards of automatic transmissions are another universe, but valve bodies are no big deal).
