Car is almost out of warranty .. what to do.
Hey Guys!
So my car is at 72000kms and my warranty runs out in 8000kms which will come a lot faster than I would like it to. I need to book Service A to get the oil changed, filters cleaned etc. However there are a few things I would like them to look at but I dont know the best way to get the dealer to do this under warranty.
Things I want looked at by the dealer;
-There is a vibration on the front left wheel at high speeds (maybe wheel bearing?)
-The volume dial has to spin many times before the volume increases -because of this I just use the steering wheel controls
-There are annoying rattles when my music is 70%-100% volume
Things I plan on doing myself;
-Full detail and stage 2 polish for spring
-Interior cleaning
-I need new 2piece rotors and pads for all 4 corners
-Finally refinishing my Forgestar CF10s after the raw wheel came in 6 months later
Anyways my concerns are as follows. I would like to sell my car soon and am not sure how much I would get for it. (2012, P31, Fully Loaded, ~72K kms, small accident in July where bumper, quarter panel etc. were replaced with OEM parts) Any ideas? I was thinking $50K CAD? If I decide to keep the car for another year should I look at any extended warranty options? I have no idea where to look or how to inquire.

Bro, I'm glad to hear you got your raw wheel... what color are you going for this time?
As for extended warranty, if you are keeping it an extra year I wouldn't go for it.

Good choice, I'm a sucka for brushed tinted clear. That finish looks incredible in person. Can't wait to see it on ur CF10, I believe u will be the first one as CF10 don't come in that finish.
HRE now charges 500$ extra for that finish.
