Extended warranty costs

[Hartside]

Phoned VW extended warranty today and they confirmed they had not sent me a letter offering the extended warranty as the registering dealer had not supplied the with an address - surprise, surprise the dealer in question is flogging their own warranty.
They quoted Comprehensive cover at approx £570. Thanks to Mike I was able to question the price and asked if they were quoting a higher price as a result of them not having my address - ie not my fault.

Upshot is they are going to check with the Underwriter and get back to me to see if they will offer at a lower price

I take it older the car gets the extended warranty price will go up?
I was quoted £550 from warranty direct but will see what VW will quote me when the VW one runs out.

Will be interested to see what sort of price you guys get. I don't realise you could get a vw warranty as I just bought a used gti and went and got warranty wise cover. I think mine was £500 for the year but I upped the labour cost and added in a few extras. Just wanted that peace of mind for a year.

I took out the VW warranty on my 09 GTi a couple of months ago. I didn't need to have it inspected they just wanted to know it had full VW history and wasn't modified it cost £371 for comprehensive, £100 excess, no roadside. It seemed a lot better policy than any 3rd party one whose prices were ridiculous.

Finally got mine sorted out today they rang back and offered Comprehensive with roadside for £33 per month. Worth it for some peace of mind.

The whole saga is crap though, VW should be recalling these cars and fitting a revised part.
