Extended warranty

[VeeDub23]

Hi. I posted this about a month back in the 3 year warranty forum.....

For genuine article give Eric @ VW Burwin a call..He quoted me $1795 for 2 yr unlimited km VW warranty(keep in mind my car is '09 118TSI with Low kms)

Overall it depends on the model/age/kms on your car, but i found the following to be the best:

Kathy Wood, Business Manager @ Klosters VW: 1300 584 163. She was the cheapest for what I was after. Mention my forum user id when you speak to her.

I also found Anna Hayward, Business Manager, Moss Vale Motor Group to also be quite competitive. (02) 4868 1055

In the end, i went for the Allianz Extended Manufacturer Warranty, Extension of time...that is, 3year extension up to 100,000kms. I'm still under <30k and only do approx 10k/yr

Note, I didn't quote prices bc it all depends on car, model, age, Km's etc....I just managed to beat the price rise. I also spoke to Kerry from lease works, but have to say that both Anna and Kathy above beat her price straight up. With both Kathy and Anna, mention you got their contact off this forum, you can even add my username to Kathy as that's who I purchased through in the end(last Friday)

No worries at all. I didn't realise the price had gone up. I haven't actually purchased it yet but I did tell Kerry that I would be looking at it at the end of July and she said she would hold the price for me. I was waiting for my tax refund. Fingers crossed she gives into me at the price originally quoted.

On a side note I was in the dealership today and mentioned the extended warranty and the service chick said she has never had issues claiming through Allianz or VW for warranty work and that the Allianz policy was a good one as far as she was concerned. She also said that if she was in my position and thinking of keeping the car longer than 3 years then I should get the extended warranty.

* got in touch with Kerry... Slight change in policy - Allianz extended time warranty - 3 years (so no extra kms) for just over $1700.

I imagine you'd need to notifiy the insurer first, then take the car in for repairs as instructed by them. If you just take the car straight in for repairs the dealer will want to get paid for it.

Bought the Allianz warranty - extension of time - 3 years @ $1792 which was almost $500 cheaper than what the dealers have quoted me for the same thing.

Hi
Been checking with the local VW dealer with regards the 3 year extended VW Warranty for the current Golf, which we had on the previous golf. It was the one underwritten by Allianz. The girl at the dealer said "they no longer do the 3 years" but we have 2 years. Thinking about it now, didn't check if she was talking the Allianz version or somethingelse, maybe an in house warranty from the dealer group (no thanks).
Does anyone know if Allianz still does the 3 year version or was the dealer being a stealer, trying to sell me someting else?
Thanks

Newbie - be gentle with me.....

Hi mate,

i was also told that the'vw' extended warranty (via allianz) is only two years...
what price were you quoted? it varies, so be prepared to negotiate...

try and get it thrown in with the purchase of the car!

Never heard of more than two years extended wty after the original three years.

Genuine VW max is 2 years, generic Allianz is up to 3 years. Was quoted $1898 for genuine 2 years/unlimited km's at the end of my new car warranty. Still deciding if I'll get it, not sure how well I would pass on the costs to a future buyer since I have lots of options already ticked on my car.
