The Toyota owners forum had a member who works in finance at dealership. He posted his price (way less than what was offered during car sell) and got tons of business from readers. Win-win. I’m hoping to see same here.
I’ll update this thread with price I’m getting quoted in case anyone else looking for the same thing.
Platinum Wrap Extended Warranty from Kia Dealership for 2025 Sportage Hybrid SX Prestige
- Sands Kia $2,795
I am looking at a 2023 Sportage SX with 34k miles and the dealer (at Honda) is offering a lifetime powertrain warranty for $1,995. I am more concerned with the electronics tbh as the 2019 CRV I have now has a problem where all dash lights come on at the same time. There does not appear to be a clear repair option for the CRV other than "try this". Is the Platinum a bumper to bumper warranty? How long does it last?
Kia will give you a refund for the warranty when you trade in. I have never bought new. I always buy lease returns. The warranty definitely pays for itself if buying used.

I'm also looking at buying a 2026 Sportage exl with 35,000 km and the salesman wants sell my $4000 warranty for 100,000....... Isn't this alot of money?
I have been driving for 60+ years. I have never bought an extended warranty on a car, or anything else for that matter. I have never regretted it. I think of the many thousands of dollars I have saved over 6-plus decades.
