Extended warranty
Good evening
I bought my car a few weeks ago, from a garage but not a main dealer. It came with a 6 month warranty from warantywise with platinum cover. I have had an email from them offering 40% discount if I extend within the first 30 days. Now with the complexity of these cars I'm very tempted to extend to 2 years, extending it for 18 months for £520 down from £972. Looking online there are a good few bad reviews. Yes I know the majority of people only put pen to paper to complain but has anyone used them and claimed? Any problems? ps. I got my car with 60k on the clock, so looking for piece of mind Cheers Richard

That is cheaper than volvos selekt warranty. However when I looked carefully at what was and was not covered by the extention to that I decided I would be better off putting the money in a tin and useing it to repair the car IF it broke down.

It's a mechanical breakdown insurance policy, not a warranty. It insures a finite number of components against unforseen failure, and (usually) do not cover against wear or age related failure, of common problems that are regarded as design faults.
It's your call, but read the conditions and the post of components covered very carefully. Personally I never have, and in 35 years of motoring have been fine. |
