Hi all,

 

Anyone have any experience with buying warranties for these cars?

 

It seems to me that, should they go wrong, they could be expensive to repair. A warranty might be a wise investment, providing it gives the right level of cover. This is certainly something I'm considering - I'd rather fork our £400 now, than possibly £2000 later!

 

So any info than anyine has would be appreciated!

Stuart,

I wanted a years warranty with my car when I bought it from a garage in Aug last year.

I was going to get the all singing and dancing RAC warranty,which the garage said they would sort out when I came to pick up my car.

Suprise,suprise,it turns out that RAC wouldnt touch my car because it was over 10 years old!

I just had to make do with the so called 3 months warranty the garage gave with the car(which isnt worth the paper it's written on......F*****S!!)Anyway thats another story!

If your car is less than 10 years old you should be OK,if not I dont know if you'll get any luck.

Cheers,

I've been looking on the web, and there are some companies that will cover cars upto 12 years old, and less than 120k on the clock. The one that I looked at in a little more detail gave what looked like good cover for 24 months at about £460. Can't remember the name though (I have a list of the companies I looked at somewhere).

 

Mine is also just over 10 years old, so a lot won't bother, but there are some that do (i.e. some companies offer "classic warranties").

 

I may give some a call soon just for sh*ts and grins!
