The dealer wanted $2400 for the 10-year Platinum plan (I Keep vehicles a long time). In my experience I would never buy anything but the Manufactures plan. I shopped elsewhere and found a small dealer up in Michigan selling the exact same plan for $1000. I called the manufacturer to confirm I would be covered if I bought it from this dealer and they said yes, they said dealers can make their own pricing. My advice is if you want an extended warranty, buy only the manufactures plan and SHOP AROUND!!
