Here, in Canada, the basic warranty is 3 years...I assume it's the same in the US. You can purchase a 1 year extended warranty for about $400.00 CAD. Is this the same in the US? I am asking because when I went to sign my lease, the business manager really pushed me into getting the extra year warranty. It really pissed me off and still does how pushy she was. I ended up getting it and tacking it onto my lease payments. It's been 3 months now and I'm still really pissed off at how pushy she was. Has anyone else got a 4 year warranty? I kept saying I did not want it but I finally gave in. Is the extra year worth buying?
how long is the US P5 warranty?

either 3/36000 or 5/48000m
they always push it. they wanted me to get the 10 year 100,000 mile warranty for $1500. so that's another 50K miles or 7 years... whichever comes first. i wasn't interested. they kept talking about it. then they wanted me to get this paint protector thing for $2000. so i got mad... i said, either stop trying to sell me things i don't want or i'm going to walk out of here and find a dealer who will respect me when i say no.... so i got the car the way i wanted for the price i was willing to pay. no more no less. it was great.
moral of the story, push the dealer around... don't let them push you around. they need to move the car more than you need to purchase it. use it to your advantage.

Bought a 2003.5 Protege 5, stock warrenty was bumper to bumper 4 year/50,000 miles but extended it to 6 year/75,000 miles bumper to bumper for about $780. First car new car I've ever had. Only went this route because my old 93 honda was in the shop all the time, now I have no worries for 6 years.

My lease is a 48 month lease...so their argument is that I'm paying for the last year of the lease unprotected. I also may want to buy out the car a little early if I can. Another thing is that there is only ONE dealership in Victoria and I did not feel like travelling to Vancouver to shop around. I probably should have. The extra year warranty adds up to $10.00 extra a month. They never gave me the option of just buying it interest free. This was my first new car and boy have I ever learnt a few things for the next car purchase. But still, I love my P5.

- Yes I have one
I added 5yr/100k extended only because of the miles I drive. I said no several times but they kept cutting the price of it until I said yes. And the only reason I said yes because it minimally affected my payment.

I'm a sales rep for a mazda dealer
2002 3 year/50,000 mile warranty
2003 4 year 50,000 mile warranty.
Mazda extended their warranty a year longer in 2003. That is what the warranty period is in the US, I don't know about canada.

No there is no free extension on the warranty.
10 yr/100,000 mile wrrnty for $1500 - not bad!
IMHO, I don't think 10yr/100,000 for $1500 (I assume US) is bad if you're gonna keep the car that long.
But if you don't want it, then the salesperson should shut his mouth and stop pushing. I totally agree with you.
