Agreed, total mileage on the vehicle is what a buyer is purchasing. That works very well for me, as I expect to reach the time limit (5 years) prior to the mileage limit (75k total vehicle miles).

For the company to price the warranty properly, it has to go by total vehicle mileage, not mileage after date of warranty. Otherwise the statistical analyses that all insurance companies depend upon would be useless or the price would have to change for every single car warrantied. The price depends on the risk. The risk depends on the mileage and age (for a given model).

What I'd like to know is would this warranty cover a faulty TCU on my CPO'ed '08 ///M?
I didn't see the fine print to where "Electronics" are not covered under CPO The damn steelership is trying to milk me for $2k+ to get my bluetooth working...

Hey Chief, I looked at the sample contract you posted (thanks for that) and it looks like they measure the 5 years from your vehicles "in-service" date if you were between 12k and 50k miles when you purchased the warranty. Check out page 2 section (1)(a). You should have some kind of "expiration date" on the actual contract though and that will win out over this sample of course. Curious if you got 5 years from the warranty purchase or from "in-service". I am looking at getting a USAA extension and thought I should have a look over this before purchasing. I am hoping for 5 actual years and it looks like that is the case if you have under 12k miles when you get the warranty. Thanks for any more info you can provide.

Hi Mobbin, I purchased my USAA/Assurant warranty on 12/5/11 for a period of 5 years. The warranty has an expiration date of 12/5/2016 or 75,000 total vehicle miles, whichever occurs first. Given how I drive, I expect to reach the expiration date before the mileage limit. By the way, I did purchase the Comprehensive Protection Plan. Below is a copy of my actual schedule of coverage.

So I went today to close the loan thru my CU and got the Platinum Extended Warranty by NAC. I know there has been some confusion as to the mileage if it is TOTAL or from date of purchase of said warranty - With NAC it is at the time of purchase ON TOP of existing mileage. So in my case, car has 17,590 miles and bought coverage for 5 yrs / 75k miles so it will be valid until 01/30/2017 or 92,590 miles. I'm attaching the contract and would appreciate any thoughts.
Thanks!

Looks like you get at few more miles than I do. It seems that all three of these contracts are very similar. We'll have to see how these play out over time. Thanks again, Chief |

I bought the plan as well with USAA. I paid 1637 for 72 mos/72K miles. Car had 1700 miles on it good until 2017. What I did not like is that the "Administrator" decides the kind of part that will be purchased (i.e. non OEM could be a possibility).

Putting on the rose colored glasses for a moment...maybe this possibility allows USAA/Assurant the option to use Dinan or Turner parts when requested by the policyholder. |

Next question, Do you think the USAA warranty will cover a DCT problem?
Under the schedule of covered parts, it lists: 2) Transmission Assembly: Transmission case, transaxle case, transfer case, and all internally-lubricated parts, torque converter, vacuum modulator, cooler and metal cooler lines, and transmission mounts. and 13) Power Train Electronics: ... Electronically-controlled transmission -- Transmission shift control processor and sensors. Then under exclusions (from the sample): Manual & Hydraulic clutch assembly such as, but not limited to; manual clutch pedal, clutch disc, pressure plate and throw-out bearing; I'm not too familiar with the repairs on DCT transmissions but I have seen at least one post on someone getting their DCT replaced under the original factory warranty. Just not sure what would be covered given the above warranty language. Any thoughts are appreciated. |

Just wanted to throw it out there that I did end up getting the USAA Assurant Solutions Warranty, thanks Chief for pointing this option out.
I went for 6 years of coverage (from warranty purchase date) or 75k odometer miles, whichever comes first. Good pricing too. |

Sure, a little over 10k miles and it was ~$1850 for the warranty. I think it was cheaper b/c of the low miles and still 6 months+ under the original BMW warranty. Not sure if they look that up though.

Where did you apply for the warranty? I'm trying to get a quote and joined, but it's saying that they're not offering the product.
