Warranty 14-day FINAL NOTICE - is this b.s.?

Hi all,
Haven't been here in a while. Finally got something that gave me an excuse to check out the site again.

Anyway, I got my RX-8 in February of 2005. Recently in the mail I got a "14 day FINAL NOTICE" saying that my 36 month, 36,000 mile factory warranty is about to expire. It is a notice to extend coverage with an extended warranty.

However, isn't the warranty a 4 year, 48,000 mile warranty? At least, it was for the '05's?

Pic of the mail I got is attached.
Thanks for the input!

We received several of these from various companies for my wife's 2006 Grand Prix GXP. Warranty isn't going to expire for over a year...

They try so hard to make it seem like it is the dealership contacting you.

lol! hahah
well oh well, looks like i missed a spot.

They really do make an effort to fool you. Except I didn't buy my car 33 months ago, that was one strike. Lying about the warranty is another.

Still, what I wonder is how they knew I bought an RX-8 around that time in the first place! I frickin' hate mail spam. At least e-mail spam isn't a waste of paper...

They base it on Registrations, and most cars have 36 month warranties so then send them all out then.
