Re:
That is correct. You can purchase the additional extended Nissan Australia factory warranty at any time within the 3 year period before your existing warranty expires. It's the dealer extended warranty that you can only get at the time of purchase and this is worth nothing compared to the factory one, which is the real deal.
The dealer warranty can only be maintained if you agree to be locked to their servicing, which sometimes means getting stuck with bad service and/or bad customer service.

Re:
The only real factory warranty is the one sold by the dealers or directly by Nissan Australia, so be careful where you spend your money or you could risk ending up with a fake warranty. A factory warranty for 100 bucks is in no way a real one!

Re:

Re:
Hi Wal,
Nissan and all other manufacturers were forced to adjust their extended warranty policies to comply with the new government legislation which started on 1.1.2012 and which basically covers all consumers against defects if you are within or out of the factory warranty. (details explained HERE).
There is no more such thing as "extended warranty".
From the ACCC website:
quote:
Extended warranties
Extended warranties are a type of voluntary warranty. Extended warranties generally extend the period of protection given by a voluntary warranty for a cost.
Businesses should take particular care when describing and selling extended warranties to ensure that consumers are not misled into thinking that they are required to pay for rights that are already provided by the consumer guarantees.
For example:
A computer is sold with a free 12-month warranty given by the manufacturer. The seller advises the consumer that they need to purchase a three year extended warranty, otherwise they will have no right to a remedy after the 12-month warranty period expires.
In this case, the seller is likely to have breached the ACL by advising the consumer that they need to pay for rights provided for under the consumer guarantees.

Re:
You can call ACCC and ask, but for the Canon camera that I bought prior to this date and which was sold to me with 2 years extended warranty, Canon Australia said the new legislation covered it in full for any defects and it is not limited to 2 years anymore. They even said that if I paid for the extra 2 years extended warranty I was entitled to a refund (in my case, the extended warranty was thrown-in as part of the deal, so I didn't actually pay for it).
