Not that I know of. I don't think you get that money back. If you want to check for sure, you can call 1-800-Nissan-1.
NICO is NOT an official Nissan run/owned site. We are a private entity with no affiliation to Nissan corporate.

The extended warranty should be transferable to the new vehicle. You can get a refund on the gap, I know because I did. You will need to go back to the dealership you got them from, especially the gap insurance.

The key word is "should". I suspect the devil is in the details, and whether or not your Alti's extended warranty is transferrable will depend on how the contract is written. They're not all the same. You do improve your odds by dealing with the same dealer who now sees you as a repeat customer, but I would strongly recommend you read over your Altima's extended warranty contract's fine print (with a magnifying glass) to learn the truth instead of putting blind faith in the dealer. Some dealers are more honest than others, but one thing to keep in mind, there'sa financial incentive for them to tell you it's not transferrable even if it is. Chance favors the prepared. Good luck.
