Extended warranty

[Bassik]

The factory warranty is regulated, whereas what is sold as an "extended warranty" is nothing more than an insurance policy. It is stretching things to even call it a warranty.

Exactly what I was thinking, is it worth it in all honesty, are there even excesses for a so called claim?

I just bought a golf and am selling my polo and the warranty is less on the golf which is coming up in Feb 2014. I basically wanted to sell my polo with warranty on it but in actual fact have bought something else with less.

Extended warranty smart or not so smart?

Update... apparently Allianz is putting their prices up tomorrow. I have no idea if this is a scam or if it's true.

If it was a true factory warranty extension then I'd be signing up for one (Just bought a 2010 GTI with warranty finishing during Sept). Bassik have you got any paperwork on the warranty you could post up or forward through without me having to head to a dealer to talk about it?

Would be interested in looking what is actually offers/covers

You looking at Allianz one or the factory. Because I just spoke to VW and there's is a factory warranty but still it resells under Allianz anyways and includes roadside assistance.

Also the VW service guy mentioned there is no extended warranty 2yr on DSG transmission?

If you call and haggle they tend to give you discounts.

Instead of asking him if there's extended warranty, maybe you should have asked how long the drivetrain warranty was. If he said 5 years then there you go.

You might have confused him because the DSG warranty is 5 years, and years 4-5 are not technically considered "extended" years. He might have thought you were asking if there's extended warranty beyond the standard 5 years.

Edit: Holy moly. I think they have removed the 5 year drivetrain warranty. It's not on the website anymore!

That's what I'm talking about, they have removed it and it's no longer there.

VW John Hughes in Perth quoted me $3000 for the 2-year extender warranty through Allianz. Not willing to pay that.

$3000 WOW.... I did hear that Allianz just put their prices up but it was still way under $3000 I got quoted $1600 for 3 yrs and roadside. It's all depends how close you are the end of your warranty run out date.

I think..

$1980 for allianz new car warranty 3 years extension. 2011 mk6 with 35 000 kms . ** have been requoted $2800 mark now... with the recalls in place for vw i guess the insurance companies are now safeguarding themselves...

covers everything like a new car warranty should plus you can take it to any workshop not just vw. and the claim limit per claim is the value of the car. which is 35-40K ....

good peace of mind. if anything happens its usually 2 years - 4 years period from our experience but then again you get cars that have fault free for 10 years. its a gamble.
