Yeah, I can see your pain. If the contracts states tie rods and you purchased at 62k where the tie rods were no longer covered....why didnt they tell you.

I say again "If you gone bend me over at least use some grease."
How is any Mech failure covered after 50K if that is the case? I have a lot of concerns, so i asked my lawyer to review the contract and translate the mumbo jumbo.
BTW while I was on the phone with FWS the guy on the other end says "we didn't deny your $8K trans replacement." I guess I'm suppose to be grateful for that and not ask for anything else. I mean who am I to expect more after they have shown me such a courteous gesture. Shutting my mouth and sitting in the corner!!!

This warranty something I can just find online, or do you have a specific contact? Thanks! Im gonna see what otehr options are out there before I make the final purchase on a warranty. The hard part is figuring out who is easy to deal with and also who is hassle free....for the most part

When and if you renew your warranty (which isn't likely with the 50k mile thing), make sure you specify, in the contract, the "grease" you would like to be used.

In the end it came down to whether I'm willing to take $370 into arbitration. Who is going to do that. They don't have the right to deny the claim, but they know you wont go into arbitration for such a small amount. I'm on to something bigger I hope not to spend 6K on this Turbo Upgrade.

Holy crap!
I guess the claims have caught up with the beast.
I paid 3200 for my 6/72
Funny thing I will never get there with the mileage. I have 31k and counting.
Ouch, ouch on those prices
Damn, Holmes!
I just paid $4300 for my $50 deduct (zero actually.. the selling dealership waives it) pure platinum. About 4 months ago.
Saved me selling the car...
and since there's this 50k "wear" fine print... and my car has 46k... i guess i'm due to run her in and see if they find anything before i hit 50k..
There is no reason to have anything more than the power-train warranty in my opinion. Fidelity is only going to deny any other claim as a wear and tear item issue, not covered under the so called Gold, Gold Plus and the OMG Platinum coverages. I mean if you are selling warranties that are suppose to cover everything with only a few exceptions, then you don't cover it, that's fraud. I mean they know you wont challenge it in arbitration so it would seem that unless your tranny or engine goes then they just sit back and deny, deny, deny. I could have saved $3000 and just bought the power-train warranty. I would prefer Astro Glide over grease please.
How do you sell a warranty on a car with 62K miles, then claim that the car has more than 50K miles so wear and tear items are not covered. Wasn't the Tranny, Motor Mount Solenoid and the Engine Gas Temp sensor all wear and tear items? Well I guess once Fidelity pays more in replacement parts than you paid for the Warranty, you are done.

Willie,
You sound like me when I start beating that horse.
I hear what your saying but we are already "all in". I think the Fidelity will pay off for other items. Be happy you got the big stuff covered and get those intercoolers changed in a few months. Yours are really leaking...hint, hint.
I may dig out my Fidelity contract to sniff around for this 50k fine print.
Well I don't think they are going to cover anything else. What part on your car does not wear over time? We'll see what happens if something else that is suppose to be covered goes south. I think the print you are looking for is page 2 near the top.
Wow... so it's real. I inked my 6/60 warranty in the waning days of '09, less than a week before the price tripled... Honestly, the previous pricing structure was a Fidelity mistake if you look at the cost of even routine repairs on this car. It's no cheaper to maintain than a friggin Gallardo.
Yeah, my warranty is no doubt not as great as they sell it to be, but damn, I feel lucky.
Willie,
I dont see where the tie rod ends are stated to be covered at all.
We may be sounding the fire alarm too early.
I see the 50k but until we have a denial on a transmission or TC....I think its fine.
I'll say it again, tie rod ends ARE a wear item. Especially on a high performance AWD car.
I wouldn't expect them to be covered, unless one snapped in half because of a bad casting or something.
Yes you are and I agree 100% with the prev pricing structure. That is why I beat the drum so loud in 09. Now the party is over. Those that have it....are good.
Routine repairs? How about 700 dollar complete 35k service?
