warranty worth it.

I have a new to us 2016 limited EL with 133000 miles. After having the transmission rebuilt and turbos replaced plus all the maintenance updated. I am looking at warranties to help cover anymore expenses. I am looking at endurance and car shield. has anybody had good luck with either or is it even worth it at this point. Side note I knew the vehicle had some issues and made a low ball offer not expecting it to be taken, thankfully my wife really likes it so i’m not in the dog house.

I doubt you'll find a worthwhile warranty that will cover it much longer. Probably better off sacking away some coin for major repairs. The six speed transmissions are usually reliable. Any idea why yours failed?

Transmission already needed to be rebuilt? Damn Im right at that mileage. I hope that’s a fluke.

I got it from a local camper dealer. Best guess is the Last owner pulled a camper without turning the overdrive off.

I had the factory extended warranty, used it to great effect. Then it expired, and I made the mistake of getting one - car shield? They're all a scam.

I had a transmission cooler hose blow out. And had to have the ATB replaced. Neither was covered. So what did I pay more than $2k for?

Sorry to hear that.
