Chevrolet is unique in the auto industry in that its vehicles cover a price range from $13,220 for the tiny Spark economy car to $123,000 for the 200-mph Corvette ZL1. Chevy pickup trucks ? its most popular vehicles ? and the Suburban SUV can drive into the $70,000-plus range with options, putting them deep into luxury-vehicle territory.
Yet, the Chevy warranty falls short of luxury-brand coverage. That?s one reason to consider adding an extended warranty, either from Chevrolet or one of our recommended aftermarket providers. We?ll take a closer look at Chevy?s offerings and also suggest alternatives.
