Hi All!
I picked up a new 2014 Forester 2.5i Touring last month and love it so far! It was my first car-buying experience, so I did a lot of research and got a great deal, but I was not prepared for the extended warranty options.
I wasn't completely opposed to the idea of the extended warranty, but the finance guy that I was working with told me that I wouldn't be able to get a warranty through SoA unless I did it right there when purchasing the vehicle (an obvious lie that I didn't realize until after the fact). Fortunately, I'm still within my 30 days of purchase so I can get a full refund less a $25 cancellation fee. I'm going in tomorrow to talk with them about getting the refund. I'm upset that they weren't forthright with me, but I'm not bitter; I'll just consider this a $25 life lesson about doing more thorough research :icon_wink:.
Anyways, I have a few questions regarding this:
1. Will I still be able to have the 3 year / 36k mile warranty (plus the other basic warranties: powertrain, etc.) even if I cancel this extended warranty?
2. With respect to the above, what paperwork (if any) do I need from them to verify that my factory warranty is still valid and intact?
3. Are there any pitfalls or common mistakes that I should know when cancelling the warranty?
Thank you very much! This is my first post, but I look forward to joining this community and being a part of the forum!
