It's 2/24, with 10/100 for powertrain. As far as the extended warranty, how
much did you pay (if you don't mind me asking)?

My VW dealership is also a GM/Jeep dealer, so they suggested that the GM
warranty was better. They said I'd get the exact same parts, and same
length of coverage, but they could get authorizations for warranty repair
easier as the primary reason to get the GM warranty. I paid about $800 for
a $50 deductible, for 5 years, 60,000 miles (since buying the car, not
since buying the policy).

The policy is also transferable to a new owner, for $50.
