New purchase 2025 tahoe - warranty question

[vcode]

My question is...

"I buy GMPP the day of purchase because its cheaper, the coverage I buy is simply two more years on top of the OEM 3 year bumper to Bumper because I only keep vehicles 4-5 years. That way I'm always covered and if I sell the new buyer might get some GMPP coverage."

Can I buy GMPP on a brand new Tahoe from one of the dealers mentioned in this thread if the vehicle has already been purchased from another dealer?

It didn't seem like the dealer I was talking to offered GMPP it looked to be a dealer specific warranty. For example, there weren't different plan options, it was only a single option for brand new vehicles.

Yes, you can buy from any dealer. I bought 3 GMPP's over the years from Black Cadillac and I didn't buy the vehicles from them. They were very easy to deal with. I would be a little nervous about a GM dealer that doesn't offer a GMPP. They must make way more money on non-GM policies.

I know for a fact you can by an extended warranty from a dealership other then the selling dealership because I have done exactly that on my previous vehicle. There was a guy on one of the forums who set up a special deal for forum members and I was able to save some money compared to what the selling dealership was offering. The extended warranty is with GM not the dealership.

"The extended warranty is with GM not the dealership."

I understand that, but why don't all dealerships offer this as an option I guess it must be to sell their own warranty instead of GMs warranty.

I plan to contact Todd, as many others have, and ask him what my options are....if I end up buying.

It’s not cheaper day 1, they will stick you but it is buried in your monthly payment, so your paying more and more interest

Yes thats exactly what I also believe is going on. The dealership makes a sweetheart deal with a 3rd party Extended Warranty Company then starts to push customers away from GMPP and into their 3rd Party Extended Warranty Plan. I wonder what GM thinks about that and how its set up in their dealership contract with GM. I cant see GM allowing that from an authorized dealer.

The other thing I see often times is the 3rd Party Warranty Plan will cover many things but when you drill down into the fine print they say they are allowed to make the repair with non OEM parts and sometimes even used parts. Where as GMPP uses OEM AC Delco parts.

So I found out today that some dealers don’t take 3rd party extended plans. Example. The dealer I am going to use cause it’s closer for work now than who I used to go to only takes GM extended plans. They don’t take day Zurich or whatever it’s called. So watch that. With my wrangler I actually have Zurich and the dealer I use takes it even though they sell the mopar one so it all varies. I have had no issues with the 2 times I used it with my jeep but this was before I understood shopping it around. Luckily the dealer I bought it from actually didn’t **** me. lol hit when I bought my wagoneer I shopped it and got the mopar max plan cause the wagoneer is a rolling computer and paid literally 6 grand less than starting price from dealer. Nuts. They almost took a heart attack when I told them and showed them the price I got.

With our new Tahoe I’m going with the gm platinum from Todd. It’s way way cheaper than I thought it was going to be. Knapp quoted me a bit more.

Just what I have learned over the years.
