So I’m about to buy a beautiful 2021 CX-9.

The business manager is trying to sell me $4k ultimate warranty with Symtech for 4 years …the price of the car is $28k CAD 🇨🇦 + taxes and interest it’s totalling at almost 40k and that’s with my $5k down.

My friend who’s in the car business told me to try and negotiate the warranty To $2k and get gap insurance for another 1.5-2k and to not budge, these car sales people make a lot of money from selling warranty that I probably won’t even need but he says the gap is worth it. I was told always get extended warranty on a used car! The car has 90,000km btw. Anyone ever had to make claims with symtech? I’ve heard mixed reviews. Am I better off just getting the powertrain warranty? Even though it’s a car with a lot of electrical components? This will also be my first Mazda. I’ve always driven dodge or jeep 🙈 im so unsure what to do and I need to figure it out by tomorrow because im getting the car Saturday. Also when I asked about switching to a more basic warranty he said he already applied to the lenders with the $4k warranty quoted in…acting like he can’t change it? These people are very insistent and I’m not very confrontational so I don’t want to have the deal fall apart , This is my first car Im buying from a dealership. Any tips or advice would be great!
