Default 2011 issues

I've had my 2011 V-6 coupe two years as of this month. It has 20,200 miles on it. Within the last two months, the air conditioning and the water pump went out. Course, the warrantee covered them both, but I'm starting to have doubts about this car. I guess my options are to buy an extended warrantee (which I don't want to do) at the cost of $2500 or trade it in for a '12 or '13. Would like to hear your thoughts or advice as to what you would do. Thanks.

Why buy an extended warranty? $2500 pays for a lot of repairs. If you want to trade wait until the warranty is over.

Just my opinion ;-)

That's a kind of freakish pair of repairs. If you aren't that happy with the car, use the experience to negotiate for a REALLY good trade on a 2013. If you like it, then just make sure any little issue gets filed in your maintenance history so that you can track back to it. Hopefully you won't have to though!

2 questions! First, did the A/C just need to be serviced (charged)? Second, when does your warranty run out?

can't you buy warranties from outside parties for a lot less?

I do feel bad for you,

I got over 20,000 miles on my 2012, got it last September and I have not had a single issue, I have had a great experience.

I got my 2011 in Feb of 2011. 26k on her and no problems at all. I bought the extended warranty at the time of purchase just for peace of mind really. But you never know when you are going to need it. Hopefully never....like all the insurance policies.
