Extended warranty

[STV4SYT]

Dont do it, you can still purchase extended warranty right up until the new car warranty runs out. If your car gets written off or stolen or you sell it within the 3 years then u get nothing back for it.

That's actually quite good advice from steve_tdi, although I too would like to know how much the extended VW factory warranty is.

Also, if you do defer the purchase, is it cheaper or more expensive?
Does the KM and Age affect the cost?
Does the options (or total original purchase price) affect the cost?
Or is it just a flat fee?

Actually i got the dealer to call VW in Germany and well if you total the car or its gets stolen etc in the first 3 yrs you can get a full refund. The price increases as time passes. They will also charge you the full amount when you get it later.

But of course if you buy it one day after you buy the car rather than "with" the car you won't have to pay Stamp duty on it

That's right... stamp duty in NSW is either 3% up to $45k or 5% over $45k
