Comparing Warranty Quotes

[alextse]

I've been shopping around for a Subaru Gold Plus Extended Warranty for
7 years/100,000 miles, $0 deductible. From my recollection, here's
what I've found (numbers may be slightly off but approximately
correct):

Subaru MSRP: $2,495
Where I bought it (upstate New York): $1,720
Local dealership (near Philadelphia): $1,560
Out of state (Massachusetts): $1,480

So obviously the dealerships can discount a lot from MSRP. But even
then there are some discrepancies. Not to mention state sales tax is
added too.

Disregarding whether or not extended warranties are useful, any
suggestions on where/how I can get a better price? Thanks!

I'm guessing that Massachusetts quote is from Curry subaru in
Chicopee? If so, I doubt you'll find a better price if your shopping
experience mirrors mine when I got my warranty (the same one you're
shopping for).

And... not to worry, my local dealer honors it without a bat of an
eye.

IF you use Geico for your insurance they have (or at least offered in
the past) an interesting extended warranty. I don't recall details - but
it had no TIME limitation, just mileage. Works well if you put miles
on slowly.
just fyi
