Ok so just got off the phone following an online quote for an extended warranty. Was amazed at how expensive it is and following the phone call how limited it is. For my A3 1.6tdi, if i want "all component cover", £0 excess and over 15k miles then its £1018 per year! Even the cheapest cover with "named components", £250 excess was coming in at £488 per year! its coming up to 3yrs old and really wanted to continue the warranty as it has been... I like the peace of mind of going through Audi and would like the full 2yrs extra so i have warranty until its 5yrs old. However the lady on the phone told me prices aren't negotiable, no discount if i pay 2yrs upfront, aren't transferable to new owners, and if i make a claim then non cancelable. wtf! Non transferable?? how is this right? i was told if i sell the car then the policy is cancelled with no refund! a warranty surely stays with the item doesn't it?
Any views on peoples experiences with extended warranties would be great & maybe other options that are worthwhile pursuing....
