Extended warranty

I'd suggest looking through this thread:

VW's 3 Year Extended Warranty

[Disciple]

Is the extended warranty available to a subsequent purchaser of the vehicle? For example, if I was to go and buy a 2011 Golf R, can I purchase the extended warranty for the car if I'm not the original owner? And/or, can the current owner of the car purchase the warranty, then transfer it into my name?

Cheers,

Brett.

Usually yes but read the PSD

Did a bit of googling, and the PDS states that an extended warranty is transferable to a new owner for a $50 fee, but doesn't mention if the warranty can be purchased by someone who is not the first owner of the car.

It is my belief that the extended warranty can be purchased so long as the vehicle is still within the factory warranty period, whether the original owner out not. Haven't had any personal experience doing iit this way, so I may be wrong. Can anyone confirm?

I purchased our car 2nd hand with a few months factory warranty left, had no problems getting the Alianz extended warranty.

Highly recommend Eric Sin @ Burwin VW. He gave me a very good price on the genuine VW 2 year extended warranty.

Don't even bother with Gold Coast VW, rang them twice on Friday and left message and still waiting to hear back. Since Rob left them they are hopeless.

I've attend VW and told them that my car is modified but they were willing to still extend my warranty =/ obviously told them as a joking tone. lol. but he sounded serious. I didnt go ahead because scared he might take the money then advise VW that my vehicle is modified, so best they dont know.

How about we update this thread. I have a quote from McGrath VW at Liverpool for approx $2,800 for 3yrs (can't remember the Kms part) from Allianz for my 2010 Golf R.

Going to call them shorlty and take them up on it unless someone out there has a better offer.

I have to say, $2800 seems steep to me. I paid just over half that for a 2-year Allianz extended warranty less than 12 months ago.
