What is the Nissan extended warranty?

Help! The basic warranty on my 2019 Nissan Altima is about to expire and I don’t know what to do. I never had to use it, but a warranty seems important so I’m thinking about extending it. What’s included in the Nissan extended warranty?

The
Nissan
extended warranty is an 8-year/120,000-mile coverage plan to protect your vehicle from manufacturing errors. The warranty is also known as Nissan Security+Plus.
There are three levels of coverage going from the least to the most protection:
  • Powertrain Preferred: An inclusionary coverage option that protects about 800 of your car’s parts, including primary powertrain and drivetrain components
  • Silver Preferred: An upgraded inclusionary coverage option that protects about 1,300 of your car’s parts and adds protection for electrical, steering, and transmission components
  • Gold Preferred: An exclusionary coverage option—meaning all components are covered unless otherwise noted—including protection for virtually all of your car’s components
While the degree of warranty coverage may sound enticing, take some time to weigh the pros, cons, and cost benefits. If you plan on buying a new car sooner than later, an extended warranty wouldn’t do you much good. Instead, consider adding
mechanical breakdown insurance
to your car insurance policy.
