Do I need really need the Nissan "Certification" if I am also getting the Nissan Security+ Gold Extended Warranty???
I am back in the market - This time for a CPO Rogue. If you haven't noticed, what many dealers do is "advertise" a car as "Certified" at a very low price but then when you sit down they actually add $995 (or similar) as a "Certification" fee to the sale price of the car --- as well as other "refurbishing fees" etc... If we get back past the obvious dishonesty in this for a moment it got me thinking... Do I really need really need the Nissan "Certification" if I am also getting the Nissan Security+ Gold Extended Warranty??? The Nissan CPO is really just a "Powertrain" warranty up to 7y/100K mile... The Security+Gold Package seems to cover the same Powertrain items AND many other non-Powertrain parts. So... If they are itemizing these things as it is, wouldn't that $995 be better spent on the Extended Warranty??? [This assumes that one would get the Nissan Extended Warranty up to at least 100,000 miles and get the "Gold" level of the same (Both of which I would)]. If someone know the ins-in-outs of the Nissan "Certified" Warranty and thinks its covers more of the Powertrain than the Nissan Security+ Gold level extended warrant then please advise. Any other thoughts please share.
On that point, I'm pretty well settled on getting the Security+ Gold Extended Warranty... You can read my previous posts on this thread on how it has paid off for me as a I tend to keep the cars for a long time... Also... if you want the most recent Jim Bone Nissan Online prices for the Security+ Gold Extended Warranty, see below:::

Note1: Jim Bone requires inspection be done --- if you have a "Certified" car they will accept the certification "Checklist" but if not the cost should be around $125 for the inspection at a local Nissan dealer.
Note2: There are many different year/mileage combinations to work with, so the above is not an all-inclusive list.
Note3: I can't find any online competitor to Jim Bone - which is shocking to me after 3+ years - but if somebody has one please advise.
Note4: You can probably swing and an extra $100 or $200 off if you register and hold out, or call and can catch the warranty person while they are free.
