  • Not me, but my mom bought a Sentra SER lightly used, and got the $1500 dealer special warranty. The warranty had all kinds of stipulations like she had to have the maintenance done at that dealer, with nissan parts, etc, all ways to weasel out of it. Also had to have the service records in full.

    Year 1: manual transmission stopped going into reverse, replaced

    Year 2: engine failure, replaced

    Year 3: manual transmission started popping out of all gears, replaced.

    Year 4: bought a Mazda

    Each time they tried to deliver the bad news that she’d have to pay $4500 or whatever, but she kept meticulous records, serviced it exactly on time at the original dealer, and insisted on nissan parts so there was nothing they could say. They even tried to say maybe she didn’t know how to drive manual, but she’d been driving exclusively manuals for decades, and you guessed it, she had all the documentation to prove it.

    That $1500 warranty probably cost the dealer at least $10k
