Hi Ray.

Thank you for the reply. I guess having he dealer milk the warranty for many covered repairs is a good thing for the vehicle and for me so I will take that as a plus, I guess that I have to determine if the approximately $1,600 to $1,700 is a good investment versus taking my chances. Given that I use the truck for my self employment/business, I prefer to keep it in excellent condition. I also plan to keep it for 3-5 years longer depending on mileage and other factors.

One additional question, do you know anything about the dealer James E. Black Cadillac (http://www.jamesblackcadillac.com/compare.html) that is offering the GMPP and GMEPP warranties? When I search online for those warranties I find this dealer all over the search results. They appear legitimate from what I have read on forums where other people purchased warranties from them.

I don't know anything about the dealer, on the other hand if there were complaints I would have found them,,, dealer appears to be legitimate selling GM warranties with low markup cashing in on volume.

I am not going to sway you one way or the other buying an extended warranty,,, but consider this,,, 16 to $1,700 plus tax and a service fee if something happens is a fair chunk of coin, something really nasty has to happen to go beyond your layout.
