Extending a vehicles warranty

[Madeddie]

My personal vehicles warranty runs out end of May however I have a company car on order which won't be ready for another 10 weeks.


Rather than having to pay out £1500 for a years extended warranty I wondered if it's possible just to get 3 months cover which would be somewhat cheaper. I'm sure the stealer won't give me £1100 back for having 10 month warranty on the car.

I'll ofc make more enquiries tomorrow , just wondered if anyone has been in a similar circumstance and is aware of a 3 month cover deal.

Thanks

Most manufacturers extended warranties allow a monthly option. Is that an option here?

If you car isnt on its last legs, do you really need a warranty for 3 months?

not entirely sure if it's an option guess I'll find out tomorrow.

The car is mechanically sound, however no guarantee that the transmission or engine wouldn't have a problem in the next 10 weeks, it's very unlikely however if it did it would be hugely expensive hence the warranty gives me piece of mind.

Agreed. I don't think for the sake of 3 months its worth bothering with. if your car is new and still covered by the manufacturers warranty, if something catastrophic went wrong a few weeks outside of that, I'd be looking for at least a goodwill gesture.

I wouldn't bother personally.

My mum decided not to renew the warranty for a month until the replacement arrived, the timing chain slipped and took out half the valves.

Expensive decision as it was 5 years old so no good will contribution. The dealer supplying her new car did fix it for no labour charge but she had to cover the parts.
