XC60 2015 D4 AWD EXtended Warranty option

[Stevepvolvo]

Hi
I have an XC60 AWD D4 R design reg date dec 2015 fitted with driver support pack. I bought the car used from volvo early this year and have now received an email from the dealer offering an extended warranty once the manufacturers one ends (although I still have an additional 2 months under the volvo selekt warranty). Reading other threads regarding extended warranty, I went direct to volvo uk customer support and they have given me a tel number for the service plan team or an email for allianz-assistance. Looking at the allianz warranty site, a comprehensive 1 year comprehensive warranty for my vehicle would be £680 with zero excess. Ideally I would want 2 years as I tend to keep the vehicle for 3 years. Am wondering if the tel number provided by volvo would result in a lower price but at this stage has anyone any experience of extended warranty from allianz, prices, issues etc? Any information or advice appreciated
Cheers
Steve

My Volvo Selekt warranty is through car plan. I was quoted £480 for one year after my initial one year dealer offer expired.

I shopped about and phoned Volvo directly, however this was the best price. I did see other packages available, however considering the hassle it would cause, I find it easier to say that I have a Volvo Selekt warranty. The difference between the major players was only £20-£30 pound.

I decided not to buy an extra warranty when the Selekt one ended.

I did get a price from Volvo and other companies. Volvo did not budge on the price on the renewal letter. I got several follow up emails/calls from other warranty companies. In the end it came down by about 30% of the initial quote.

So if you decide to take out a warranty, get the quote now but wait a few weeks before taking out the policy.

Last car I had I took out Volvo extended warranty with car care in my opinion it was the best first year renewal was £299 and following year was £399
Has it went up in price?? Mine still under manufacturing waranty very low miles

I’ve just extended my warranty for £390 on my V60 Cross Country. When I asked them at the time of buying my car they were talking in and around the £850 mark but when the Warranty extension letter came quoting £390, I took it.
It’s a years peace of mind.

Just curious but who did you get the letter from? I have had an email from the dealer I bought it from but only saying to contact them for a "personal quote"! I have contacted Volvo UK and they originally pointed me at allianz warranty. I checked that and it was quoting £850 for their comprehensive no excess warrant. However, later that day another volvo uk person sent me a link to the volvo warranty extension web site that would allow me to on the spot buy a warranty for £450. So can I expect a letter from (???) before my manufacturers warranty expires end of December with an actual quote?

When purchased one year ago My XC60 had just over 8 months manufacturers warranty remaining. When told the Selekt warranty would be applied when the Volvo one finished I had expected to see a further 12 months added.
In fact the dealer only added 4 months warranty to give an overall total of 12 months.
I found this disconcerting as the description of the Selekt warranty application on Volvo's web page seems to suggest a 12 entitlement regardless of how much manufacturer's warranty still existed.
Can anyone advise if is this cutting of the warranty period a practice common to many dealers?

I bought my xc60 a couple of years ago and it had 4 months left on the original warranty. The selekt warranty then upped it by 8 months to give me a 1 year warranty from the time of purchase. I can’t say I expected anything different but as I have bought a number of used volvos where the original warranty had expired and I received a 1 year warranty through selekt, when I bought this latest used Volvo through selekt, I was just expecting 1 year regardless of how it was made up.

I’ll be renewing mine again soon. I was under the impression that four years was limit for an extended warranty until I was informed by the dealer that they’ll warrant it up to 100k miles. Happy days, I’ll keep extending it until I upgrade to another motor. It’ll be interesting to see what the T’s and C’s are. I’m extending because of the Autobox and Haldex in my Cross Country should they go wrong.

If we keep the XC60 then we will be buying the Volvo Extended Warrenty. It is more expensive than the MotorEasy warrenty but as it has just been serviced under the 5 year service plan then it makes it easier to ask Volvo for a contribution for any failed part that is not covered.

I have the XC60 MOT'ed this week and it sailed through, not even an advisory.
