Hi,
I am new to the forum. I yesterday bought a certified pre-owned (CPO) 2014 CX-5 Touring with 40k miles. This is my first Mazda and so far, I have good fun with this car.
The dealer sold me an extended warranty (Comprehensive) from Zurich for $1.6k covering 8 years/100k from date of 1st sale. Typically, I would have refused but he said that I could change my mind and will get 100% refund for 60 days. Back home, I read some really bad reviews about Zurich denying claims either on basis of coverage or poor maintenance records. Consumer reports also does not recommend extended warranty.
1) CPO provides powertrain warranty until early 2021 (3+ years more)
2) Extended warranty lasts until early 2022 (4+ years more)
I will really appreciate any input if this extended warranty from Zurich is worth the money for my CPO CX-5. Reliability of CX-5 is above average (but not great like Honda/Toyota) and there is a lot of electronics in the car. I used a own a BMW and it was fairly expensive to repair anything electrical in that car. Please let me know your views on the extended warranty from Zurich. It looks that Mazda also offers extended warranty on CPO but the dealer did not pitch it hard and we were too exhausted to explore that option.
Thanks,
J
