To buy or not to buy the extended warranty

[Lancew]

I have 92,000 miles on my 2016 X 90D and purchased the warranty when it was $4800. I have had some latches, control arm, seat, usb ports, and shudder fixed which all amounted to about the same cost as the warranty. In retrospect, I probably did not need it.

If your MX is 2016, I think your battery is actually covered for 8 years and unlimited miles. But just a month or 2 ago, they changed it 125,000 miles. I don't know what happened if you try to tell them the original warranty is for unlimited miles. And since you are in California you will get at least 125,000 miles... I think it was a CA law to cover at least 125,000 miles for hybrid battery and EV battery.

It's good that your MX had very little problem. Our 2017 MX had a few door problems already in the 2 years we had it. Unlike the S or 3, the X got auto doors everywhere. It is very common for some of the sensors and actuators to fail. And MCU1 will probably fail in under 6 years. That alone is like $3000 to replace I think. Our FWDs works perfectly so far, but it seems like it is something that could fail easily with so many moving parts and sensors. So I bought the extended warranty.

The warranty is back to unlimited on battery and drive units on S and X.

Deductible is per visit, not per issue. And if you need a subsequently visit to finish an item it’s covered under the same deductible. You go in with 3 issues over 2 visits and it will be $200.

If you trade or sell you can get a portion back depending past issues covers and time miles past since it was effective.

It is also transferable.

I got got it for my X. I’ll sleep better.
