My boss has a 2007 Limited and the Navigation went out. Dealer wants to replace it for $2k. Can he buy an extended warranty for it and then have it fixed under warranty?

What date did he purchase it and how many miles are on it? It needs to be purchased when it is still under the factory warranty.

Make sure he carefully reads the policy...very carfully. An extended warranty is a form of insurance, and just about any insurance type will exclude items known about in advance of buying the policy that weren't disclosed to the maker. In fact based on the fairly high dollar amount you're talking about, in some states it might be considered insurance fraud and a felony.

Well if thats covered under warranty then all he has to do is get the warranty and say it broke.

But he should just get an aftermartket unit, which will be better then the oem nav system and he should be able to save $1200 or so and no need for the warranty
