I'm about to seal the deal on a used truck. It's a '04 with 78,000. It currently has a extender warrant from NWC that expires in July 2011, or 100,000. For me to transfer it, it will cost $100 and a dealer inspection. I just don't know if it's worth it. It's the Premier and supposedly covers all the drive train.

one hundred dollars versus a potentially 2000 dollar front end, or 2500 dollar tranny, or transfer case or what have you... I have no experience with them but one hundred dollars would be well spent in my book, even if it was something easy! Oh and even if you hear the slightest tick or creak i would take it in for work, i had a warranty on my 95 landcruiser when we bought it about 3 years ago and before the warranty was up got around 5000 worth of work and parts because the stub shafts were clicking in the front end! My warranty was a little more like 1200 when i bought the car though! MONEY WELL SPENT. call it preventative maintenance

i deal with them every day and the adjusters on the phone know me by name. i have one of their contracts on both my silverado and my jeep. they are great to deal with.
the only piece of advice i would give for what it's worth is to read the fine print and make sure you know what is covered and what is not. the biggest problems people have with extended service contracts is what they think is covered versus what actually is covered. they are VERY specific. what level of coverage is the contract? there are either 3 or 4 different levels of coverage.

It's the Premium Plus plan. Is there a fee assocciated with the dealer inspection?
I'm not worried about the $100 if the warranty is good. In the past I've heard bad things about extended warrantys.

you'll have to pay whatever the dealer charges, we would charge you 1 hour labor and go over it end to end.
