I feel such a f**kwit with all these no-brainers I didn't take up!  :grin:

If you part ex the car (hell of a lot easier to px for £15500 at 3 years than try to sell for £16500 privately - not many people willing to drop that kind of money on a private sale), that extended warranty won't make you anything. If you keep cars 3 years only then there is no need to even enquire about an extended warranty as a "value enhancer".
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Everyone Entitled to their opinion on the Excellent Factory option , the warranty is  big plus ,ask a dealer ,mine will pay
more P/EX for a warranty covered car ,I used to when I sold Cars , and it is a big plus selling second hand , If I were
buying a 3 year old VW and it had 2 years VW Warranty , It would be worth a couple of hundred or so more to me
for the peace of mind , Mind what do I know ,I only sold about 18,000 cars in my career  :laugh:

Its excellent if you're keeping it 4/5 years and want the peace of mind, but if you buy it for resale and it enhances the resale value by "a couple of hundred quid", have you gained anything at all by not spending it?

Perhaps not so much in money terms ,but to a degree ,but while you own it ,yes the peace of mind,
and if you don't know how long you may keep it ,or if your circumstances change .
Selling it with Warranty as I said is a big plus ,as is the right options ,right colour ,correct presentation,
and even if Joe Bloggs says how much off then , you just sell all the plus points and say nothing .
However, can see you are not convinced , I am .
Of course you could buy Insurance till the cows come home ,but rarely is it transferable ,and though
debateable, worth actual money , or the difference between a deal or no deal  :cool:
