Original factory warranty is bumper to bumper is 3 years/36k miles. Powertrain is 5 year/60k miles. That begins on the vehicle's original in service date.
If you buy the GM extended warranty, it is effective 30 days and 1,000 miles after purchase.
Therefore, I was advised to purchase the extended warranty just prior (60-90 days) to the 3year/36k bumper to bumper original warranty expiration.
I lost no coverage that way (I did the 1,000 miles in about 45 days), and therefore I am covered, in my case, for 5 additional years, with 2 of those years still having the original 5year/60k powertrain coverage overlap.
I bought 5 years, 40k miles additional coverage for my 2017 Corvette Grand Sport from Todd at MacMulkin about a year ago. About $1300 total with 0 deductible.

Thanks for explaining. It's clearer now.
So if you one of your priorities is to extend the bumper to bumper without lapse, buy the warrantee just before original 36 month warrantee is up. If you are primarily concerned about powertrain and you intend to own a long time, then maybe purchase just before the original 5 yr expires.
