Perhaps I am a sceptic but I can't come to grips with why they or any other manufacturer would extend a warranty. My first thought is that while manufacturers are squeezing the dealers and their profits are reduced they are opening the door for the dealer to further squeeze the daylights out of the consumer with their inflated 4WD service prices. Ive had 3 Patrols from new, each one doing in excess of 200k with never a warranty claim. If it cost a 1000 per year for Nissan servicing it is $5k or more for the extended warranty. My figures may not be accurate but can you get my drift.?
