Just wondering if anyone has ever ehard of universal warranty corp. They offer warranties on used cars. I know some warranty companies can be pretty bad with claims, just wondering how this one does.
 
Stay away from third party companies - either factory warranty the vehicle, or don't warranty it at all - you're gonna piss away your money.

Why do you say that, not all of the third part companies are bad. I know a lot are, but not all.

What did your search turn up when you searched about the company's reputation?

Nothing, good or bad, thats the problem.
 
Don't do it. I paid a $1000 for my after market warranty when I bought my '97 I30. The alternator died... my bill was $500 and the warranty company said they would pay $100 of it. My deductible was $100 too! Haha. I totalled that car and the warranty company gave me a pro-rated an amount back, so I can't complain too much. I'd stay away though. Invest the $1000 it would cost for a warranty and put it in a savings account to use whenever the car needs repaired.
 
Okay I gotta confess, When I bought my maxima, I was still worried about reliability, so I went ahead and purchased the warranty for it as well. I have yet to use it, and I know I can cancel it and get a refund. I think its a full refund if I haven't made a claim yet, but it may be prorated. I am just wondering if I should keep it or go ahead and get the refund. I am actually considering selling the maxima. I don't want to, but I need some extra cash so I can replace my other aging car.

SO I figure I can either sell the car and transfer the warranty to the new buyer, or I can just cancel the policy and get the refund, that should save me some cash.

I know, thanks.


Anyways I just did some math on it. I am currently paying 211.25, if my math is correct, with what I have already paid ont he car and if I get a full refund on the warranty, I can get my payment down to 165.00/month. Thats over 40.00 bucks a month savings. That would really help me out with another vehicle payment. I may just ahve to give them a call.


But I am still considering selling the maxima. It checked out fine when I had it inspected, but the guy didn't tell me it was lowered and I didn't notice. Now I am beginning to think it was owned by a ricer, after I noticed a couple of other things about it, so I am wondering about its condition. Since I got it, the only non maintenance stuf I had to do on it was replace the evap canister, which I hear is a problem for the maxima, and I also had to replace my front struts. No other problems in the year I have had it.

Its okay, when you are mean, I just keep thinking about how tygre owned you a while back. That was great. SO its all good.
 
I'd get the $$$ back. The max is a reliable car, even if owned by a ricer. Call your warranty company for a refund.
