Just because you bought it from a dealer doesn't mean that the "GM" warranty
is bad.  It may not have the backed by GM...dealers can sell whatever they
want, and often it is the product with the best margin, not the best
coverage.  Remember, the mfg wants you to be happy with your car, and buy
another one.  The multitude (over 250) aftermarket warranty sellers could
care less what car you buy next.
Car mfg warranties are the best going...I've had experience with many of
them, and lots of experience with the aftermarket ones.  More happy
customers with the mfg warr.
I wouldn't say that all aftermarket warranties are bad, but that's why I
asked the questions I asked earlier.
Sorry, I got in on this thread late:-)
