? Warranty

[CARguyJ]

Just purchased a new 2012 base 3.8 sedan. Dealer talked me into a 10 year/100K mile wrap-around warranty (from Hyundai) that continues the "bumper-to-bumper" coverage from 5/60 to 10/100. I paid $1,500. Good deal? Bad deal? I can get my $$$ back within 30 days, but feel like the cost is not bad for 5 extra years of security.... Yes, I probably will keep the car for 10 years. I would appreciate thoughts and opinions. Thanks.

I would be curious to know if this extended the Nav/Stereo warranty beyond 3 years.

Yes, the 10/100 warranty does cover the sterio & electronics.... The base 3.8 does not have NAV.

I thought the nav was a two year warranty. I'll be excited to hear it's three years.

This brings me to all the other car bits. Today I surfed parts prices and the adaptive cruise control sensor is $5'500 list and $4'400 online. I'm not sure I have the stones to support so much tech out of warranty.

I would never buy an extended warranty. But if you know you will keep the car for 9-10 years I think you may a good choice and you got a good price. There is another thread about this topic elsewhere on the forum. Others paid more than you. You did well.

You can purchase a Hyundai extended warranty from any Hyundai dealer, and some sell them on-line. I think $1500 is a little on the high side based on what others have said. On the Genesis Base model, there is not as much that can wrong with the car (besides drive train) as with other trim levels, but if you really do keep the car 10 years it may be worth it.

I got the extended warrenty on my R Spec for 1300 originally. But when there were some issues with my bank going to a higher interest rate than what I had thought, the dealer droped the price to 700 to keep my payments the same. But 1500 is a good deal for a 10/100 compared to that other manufactures charge that much for just a 7/75. And yes, the 10/100 extended is a full bumper to bumper and covers everything including all electronics.

I've bought a extended warrenty before on a new model car and it paid for itself twice over. So that was my reason for going with a extended warrenty this time around. Now I'm good for the next 10 years with no worries. And yes I'll prbably keep it 10 years. My current truck is 7 years old and still looks brand new.

Probably one reason the Hyundai 10 year - 100K miles extended warranty is cheaper than other brands is the regular Hyundai warranty already covers the drive train (engine and transmission) for 10 year - 100K miles, if one is the original owner.

For those who have the Tech Package (which is standard for all V8's) and are keeping the car for awhile, the extended warranty probably is a wise decsion based on the number of reported problems regarding Tech Package electronics and the cost to repair it out of warranty.

I just called Hyundai Call Center and asked specifically about Platinum HPP coverage. It does include the Lexicon system but DOES NOT INCLUDE parking sensors or laser cruise control. AAA does offer a warranty that is truly bumper to bumper.

With a Hyundai Genesis, I think you made a wise choice

Shop manuals for 2011 3.8

Does anybody know where I can get a hold of a shop manual for my 2011 V6 3.8 Genny? Manuals supplied with car are almost useless other than telling you to contact dealer.

I like to work on my own cars then I know it's done right the first time, but I'm smart enough to not get in over my head and void a warranty. Even if I don't perform the work myself I would like some idea of what to tell the service techs when I bring the car in with a problem.
