GM Extended Warranty - should I?

Hey guys, my wife and I just purchased our new 2009 Malibu 1LT. The dealer of course offered an extended warranty on the bumper to bumper coverage for about $900.

Now in the past, I have always figured those warranties were worth nothing because the dealer wouldn't honor anything.

What do you guys think? I bought this car based on it's reputation, safety and features (OnStar, etc.). I'd like the peace of mind but do you think the factory upgrade in warranty is worth the cost?

Thanks for any opinions/experiences.

Thanks guys, I think I will buy one.

Now, it's my understanding that I can purchase any time while under factory warranty, correct? I may just wait until closer to expiration of the bumper to bumper before I do.

Is it correct that I can wait a while?

A couple years ago I was looking at purchasing an extended warranty for an in-warranty POS Buick I had. I recall that the price went up the longer I waited. I can't remember if the price change was based on calendar time or mileage at the time of buying the GM Protection Plan.


I'll look into it for my Malibu LTZ because I plan on keeping this vehicle for a looong time.
