extended warranty

Pandamedic · Apr 24th, 2018, 01:28

My XC60s 3 year warranty is up soon.

I've just had a letter from Volvo saying i can extend it for another year for £445.

Is that a good price? and is it worth it, or go somewhere else?

I think it's a pretty standard price, I was offered 1 year for £495 or 2 for £895 last month.

I looked around at other options but ended going with the Volvo one.

Don't usually buy warranties, not that brave looking at some repair costs these days.
I doubt I will use it though, what a contradiction!

In my old car I decided not to extend the warranty, this was the right choice as it didn't break down

Make sure you read all the T&C's about what is covered. Some people think it is the same as the standard 3 year warranty, it not. Not everything is covered and something may have cost limits. From memory the Volvo extended warranty deal I was offered was pretty comprehensive in its cover but it was expensive. I would recommend you shop around!

£800+ is (in my view) expensive for 2 years peace of mind. Specially in a 3 year old car with the same owner since new and a full main dealer service history.

We chose the Volvo extended warrenty, still haven't used it. It was worth the peace of mind especially as some of the more common faults can be very expensive to fix.

I posted a similar query a week ago. I've extended mine for a further year (it's currently 6 years old so extended to 7 years old) for £349.

Obviously, there may be difference sin cover, but the Volvo price you quote seems a little steep.

Having said that, I've claimed a couple of times over the last three years (since the initial three year warranty expired) for "pressure sensors" and things like that so I have definitely got my money's worth to day.

Hi Zigster, can I ask which warranty this is, the genuine volvo one? If so what dealer did you buy through? Thanks.
