Subaru extended warranty?

[Beefcake]

Does anyone have any information regarding Subaru extended warranty in
Canada? Has anyone obtained one, and if so, what was the cost to you?

I have a 2002 TS, just started the final year of it's warranty now. It has
very low km, when the warranty runs out I'll only be at ~ 36,000km, and want
warranty coverage until 60,000 km.

Thanks,
Aaron

I had looked into it and decided to pass as I felt there were too many
clauses they could use to duck claims, though that may also depend on your
dealers willingness as well. Get a pamplet from the dealer and call the
warranty program and ask for a copy of the contract. After reading the
contract ask the dealer for prices and to clarify what they will and won't
do for you. Someone explained it to me by saying that the only reason to
consider it is if you can't afford /budget for unexpected repair bills,
otherwise on average you will be paying extra.

Instead I ended up going over the car befor the end of bumper to bumper
warranty, carefully looking for any issues. I then went to an independent
that did a lot of subarus and had them look it over and advise me on my
list. Then I went to the dealer with my list and paid them for an hour of
inspection as well. There were not many things wrong and they were fixed.
Whether this will pay in the long run I don't know, but I'll find out.
