Anyone extended their warranty ?

[HJP]

originally bought from Motorprovider - car's been faultless but two years is coming up... Warranty Direct Luxury Care looks good - but not the cheapest at around £ 300. Don't want to be shelling out if things happen with the DSG etc...

Any advice appreciated.

Do you know how much it is to extend the warranty with VW?

The Service Manager couldn't give me an exact price when I was in but he thought around £200-300.

£420 ish for upto 15k miles

£460 ish for unlimited miles

ish

I love that word not,

Tell me what car you have i'll give you an exact figure.

05 plate Golf GTi DSG.

Will probably do about 12000 miles per annum. Its up for renewal around July time.

Thanks

there is just one price and thats £ 417.00 for up to 100,000 miles.

They dont list one for diffeant milages.

Well thats a lot more than he was leading me to believe!! I was telling him that BMW had wanted about £650 to extend the warranty on my coupe last year and he said it was nowhere near and about £200 - £300.

Now I'm not sure what I'll do as I would still take out the VW Warranty at that price if i had no alternative, but as I bought the car from a Volvo main dealer they've given me a 12 month used car warranty, so when the VW one expires I'll still have the remainder of their warranty on it.

£417 is a lot to spend to double up on a warranty. I guess I'll see how rich and how many times I've been to the VW dealers with faults at renewal time.

Many Thanks for your efforts VW_sales.

are other warranties any better or worse than VW's has anyone looked into it in detail?..£417 for ONE year...thats some insurance policy, admittedly worth if something big goes..

[MikeGTI]

Well I'd hope VW's is the most comprehensive.

The problem with most independent warranties is they wont pay main dealer labour rates. So if any faults occur you have to source your own non-VW garage to do the work. Wouldn't like to entrust, a faulty DSG system for example, with anyone but VW, would you?

Some are as good,  some are not, but you have to make the decsion yourself, look into it carefully.

Find out exactly whats covered, more important find out whats not, read all the small print, and get everything in writing.
