I have a 2010 4.6 with 34k miles and I was considering buying the extended warranty. I contacted the Jim Ellis dealership and these are the prices he gave me:
Please find the quote for the requested platinum warranty programs. The term and mileage are from where the mileage is today foreword.
6yr/72000 miles......1534
6yr/60000 miles........1392
5yr/75000 miles.......1453
4yr/60000 miles....1325
Zero deductible.
With a 50 deductable all of the costs are 100 less.
The prices seemed a bit confusing to me as they were higher than the $1,200 which several forum members have said they paid. When I asked him to clarify he replied"
*****************************************
It is the Hyundai platinum warranty managed by fidelity. The pricing is determined by the miles on the vehicle. If you were to ask those customers on the forum how many miles were on the vehicle when they purchased the warranty you would find that they had less miles than your vehicle.
The pricing adjusts based on the miles on the vehicle at time of purchase. I normally can sell the warranties at those forum prices if the mileage qualifies for the discounted price. I enter your
VIN number and mileage into fidelitys web site and it gives me a price based on those two factors.

So it seems only people with low mileage or new cars are getting anywhere near the $1,200 price. I then called the finance guy where I bought my car which is Fitzmall in Rockville, Md. This dealership is widely known as having the best prices in the county and they are extremely honest. The finance guy (Paul) told me that Hyundai plans to no longer offer the Fidelity warranty starting in January. He wouldn't say why but reading between the lines I got the impression Hyundai is not happy with Fidelity.
What he next told me made me decide not to buy any warranty at all. I am leasing the car and my lease is up in March 13. Since I am the original owner I just naturally assumed the 10 year warranty would transfer to me if I bought the car at the end of the lease.
Paul told me that was not the case as technically Hyundai is considered the original owner as I am just leasing. So if I bought the car at the end of my lease I would be considered the second owner and not entitled to the 10 year warranty. That made my mind up to just turn the car in at lease end and get a new Genesis.
So if anyone else out there is leasing and considering buying at lease end, you will not be entitled to the 10 year warranty.
