Can anyone post the repair cost for 03 g35 sedan about:1. power window2. power Seat3. AC
TOday is the last day I can get the warranty but I really pissed off yesterday when I went to dealers. They call me nuts because I want to spend 2300$ to buy warranty instead of take the new 06 at 45500 with 2.9 lease!
THe car has 59000k on it now and all of services had been done.
Anyway I still did not make decision yet. So i just want to know the possible repair cost. I heard about the power window, power seat and AC will have trouble. I am not worry about the CDplayer becuase if it dead I will update my whole audio system anyway.
The job has been done:1. fuel shutter vavle2.driver seat rocks back/forth o acceleration - the drivers side seat adjuster assembly had be replaced.3.reverse ro drive delay4. a/c belt be relaced at 50000km
THe problem I found and not fixed yet:1. sunroof make a noice when close - parts back on order2. rear deck across back of vehicle squeeks - it has be repaired on time and I do not think they solve the problem.3. park to drive or nuetral to drive hesitates.
Thanks for any information.

Why don't you call the finance guys at 10 Infiniti dealers in powdunk across US and get quotes on how much discount they will give you in selling Infiniti Extended Service Contract. You have close to 200 dealers who would love to get your money.
Just noticed SK so you have few Canadian dealers to chose from!

An even better idea is to buy the warranty from the source.
The dealer simply acts as the middleman and charges a bum-load of profit.
I like warrantybynet.com and nissanextendedwarranty.com, I've had great luck with both.
If the dealer tries to tell you:
1) It's not the same coverage2) We won't honor it3) They're a rip-off4) Ours is better
...come back and let us know. Dealers have been getting away with that crap for YEARS, and it's time it stopped.

Re: (alxwang)
The only problem with other [non Nissan] extended service contracts is that the dealership does not have to honor them..........in that some may make the dealer shop run thru paper work hoops or other delaying tactics so that while they would like your money it is just too much hassle. to accept you as a customer.
Not so with Nissan contracts.
We don't really work with any aftermarket service contracts anymore as most try to nickel and dime you to death even after they preagreed on an amount for reimbursement.
Always check with States Consumer Affairs/better business etc and make sure they have been in business awhile and have adequate resources.
".......the source of the problem lies in the common consumer misperception that a car warranty guarantees free repairs no matter what the problem. Some ‘professionals’ in the industry reinforce this attitude by telling consumers what they want to hear: “Oh, no problem! It’s covered under warranty!” Then, when it comes time to fulfill the promise and these ‘professionals’ can’t deliver because the problem is not covered, they lie to appease the customer and blame their inability to act on the car manufacturer, or the salesperson, or the service department, or whatever the situation calls for…as long as the excuse sounds believable. And then there are the service personnel who abuse the system by ‘sliding things in under the wire,’ covering parts/service under warranty that don’t actually qualify. This action usually requires the falsification of documents, mileage, Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN), time periods, etc. It is these kinds of activities that further reinforce the consumer attitude that a warranty is an entitlement and not an agreement."
Remember an extended service contract company can only stay in business if it's average pay out is significantly LESS than what it receives after commisions...........Many lose and a few win is the mantra.
I dealt with one who after waiting a week sent the inspector out to photograph the defect, then nothing and a week later another expert came out.............2 weeks delay before the repair was partially approved.

Re: (Q45tech)
I can tell you on an Acura MDX the cost to replace the power seat assembly (they don't repair them at the dealer) was $800. Fortunately covered by warranty.By all means factory warranties are the best. You are not waiting for reimbursements, or insurance authorization, etc. etc. Just shop around for the best price. You can buy an extended warranty from any US Nissan/Infiniti dealer, unless restricted by your state.(I know WA state had such a restriction, don't know if they still do.)
Re: (ezflow)
I got the infiniti one at last.It's pricy but I fianlly made the decision.I called around every dealer in canada and the price is almost same.The lowest price I found is 2250.Anyway I can have extra 2 safe years with it now.Tks for all of information.
