Is the Subaru extended warranty worth it?

I’ve always heard horror stories about extended warranties so I’ve been hesitant to get one. But I’m rethinking the option since I plan to keep my Subaru for longer.

We understand your concern and definitely wouldn’t want to pay for something so expensive without knowing the details! Whether the Subaru extended warranty is worth it depends on how much you drive and how long you plan to keep the car. Every new Subaru purchase comes with a 3-year/36,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty. Before your original warranty expires, you can extend it up to 8 years/120,000 miles and 10 years/100,000miles.
Here are a few factors to consider before extending your warranty:
  • Will you drive a lot? If you will be driving long distances often over a short period, you would want an extended warranty with more mileage.
  • Will you keep the car well beyond the factory warranty period? The longer you keep a car the more likely a major component will have issues. An extended warranty would help cover the repair costs.
  • Will you sell the car before the end of the extended warranty term? The Subaru warranty is transferable so having an extended warranty can increase the value of your car.
Getting an extended warranty is generally a good idea as repair costs for faulty parts add up quickly. You can also maximize your protection by getting additional coverage. The
