all these optimists here that think that nothing will ever go wrong with the truck
. Take a look at the threads in this forum and ask yourself if 36000 miles is enough. All it takes is one sevice to exceed $864. I have never owned a car or truck that went 75k without a single problem after the warranty was up...right after it was up in fact. I got the warranty on mine, they didn't offer it to my wife on her nissan altima and now she wishes she had it for just little stuff that's not a big deal, not worth the money to fix without the warranty, but worth it since you bought the warranty (ie. power back window broken). It's not like it is just a powertrain warranty, it is bumper to bumper too so much better chance of using it. I guess I am just a pessimist, I expect the worst and and excited when something good happens, and not as dissapointed when something bad happens. All I have to say is that if you don't buy it you will need it, and if you do buy it you might not use it but at least you have that peice of mind. My plan is to take it in at about 74k and tell them to fix anything that needs to be fixed that is covered under that warranty before it runs out like I did with my old truck. Old truck had a 50k warranty and at 56k I had to take it in for a/c problems, a service light that came on, and some other prob I can't remember anymore. Nissan makes great vehicles but no matter how "soft" you drive them something is likley to happen to them before 75k.
p.s. If you don't buy it please don't go whinning
to the dealer saying they should cover it like all these other fools will when their 36k warranty is up, and no I don't work for any dealer, but I did used to sell warranties for computers and hated people coming back yelling at me when they f'd up thier computer and didn't want to pay us $100hr plus parts to fix it when they could have shelled out $50 for a warranty in the first place.
