Ask for a copy of the warranty before you sign. Should be easy enough to confirm it’s MaxCare/Flexcare. Even if it is and you canx immediately I suspect you will lose a few a $s, it won’t be 100% of the purchase price.

Also, if it is MaxCare 5/75 plan, that’s only 1 year beyond the factory warranty, as the term starts with the original in service date of the car. Seems fishy.

 

Correct I told them the shortest time because I knew I would be cancelling it. I plan on doing 8 and 120 with Tom.

 

5 years at 4,300 comes out to $71 per month, from the sale date. Paying 2-3 months of that (before your cancellation goes into effect) comes out to 200. If wanting to do the dealer a solid, maybe you can just offer to pay $250 - 300 more for the car on the purchase price, and remove the warranty from the equation? Especially if you're financing, since the dealers tend to clump that hefty warranty price onto the loan amount.

I'm not sure how the money works for the dealer on these warranty sales -> cancellations, but I'd thought their revenue is correlated with the # of months you keep it. Perhaps not a direct linear correlation. I'd be fascinated to know how the dealer math works.

I recommend skipping out on extended warranty entirely. These are very reliable cars, especially without sunroof. I preferred the regular seats for comfort and reduced probability of future rattles.

 

They are quoting me 4300 for a 5yr/75k w. 200 deductible

Thats insane, I paid $1800 for 7/60k w/200ded for Maxcare on the website everyone uses here.

 

Was this recent ? I heard prices recently went up

 

Got the car without warranty. I will buy it from Tom which his pricing was also high shockingly compared to zeigler. I’m in a state that zeigler can’t do business unfortunately

 

I got a quote from tom and zeigler and had my local dealer price match. Extended warranty is a good idea if you plan on keeping the car past the factory warranty. If you’re someone who goes through cars every couple of years and wouldn’t keep this more than 4/50 then don’t worry about it.
Congrats on the car! Sparcos were a must for me, I wouldn’t own this car with regular seats as it feels way too pedestrian with the base seats. Seating position is much better in Sparcos and they look incredible.
Now post some pictures!

 

Might be unpopular opinion, but after owning both versions, I actually prefer the standard seats to the sparcos. No heat, no memory, and they are a pain to get in and out of. Also, they aren't really any lighter than the standard seats, which is pretty shocking in its own right.

 

Yes, the weight savings are actually negligible, which is pretty wild when you think about it.

everyone has different needs. its definitely a bummer as I would have loved the memory seats

yea its not like this is some GT3RS, the whole "weight savings" is a bit silly in this car. its mainly cool factor

 

Would the OP fix the title of this thread? I don't think he is looking a 24 foot long limo version of a QV, but rather a 2024 = '24 model year.

For whatever reason there is a bit more leg room in the rear seat with the Sparcos.
I am still looking for a pair of Sparcos with damaged upholstery (e.g. blown air bag) so that I can see if it is possible to redo them with seat heaters and red all leather upholstery.

 

Since you're going to redo them anyway, I believe they are just a version of the Sparco SPX seat, which is cheaper to source to begin with, maybe that route could work?
