Who is the dealer?
I can tell you he is full of crap. 3yr/36K is bumper to bumper warranty. In addition there is a longer 5 year powertrain warranty.
ALL warranties only cover what needs to be replaced or fixed due to workmanship or defect. No warranty will cover anything just because you think it is a problem. For example, if you think your car has too much wheel hop when you launch it hard, you can't go to GM and have them "fix" what is not a defect in parts/workmanship - it is a characteristic of the call.
On top of that $5,000 for an additional warranty is beyond ridiculous. If you decide to keep the car longer, you can buy an extended warranty to add more years and more miles and pay ˜$1,000-$2,000. You can buy them over the internet from GM dealers and avoid the ridiculous CT sales tax. E.g. I just paid $800 to have my Jeep Rubicon warranty extended to 6 years, 75,000 miles. The local dealer wanted $2000 for it. Bought from a dealer in Michigan over the internet and they loaded on FCA's warranty system no problem.
It is ridiculous like in this day and age dealer will try to pull this s@$#, when consumers have so much info at their fingertips.
P.S. Where in CT are you? I too am in CT. Bought my 1LE ˜2weeks ago, but been driving the s$#@ out of it. Approaching 900 miles. If it is not snowing/raining and temps are above 30F, I'm driving it.
