    Extended Warranty?

    Anyone got one?

    Do you guys think it is worthwhile?

    What did it costs? believe if you get them before you take possession it costs less than if you get it after a year?

    OK thanks, so that was 2 or 3 years extra on the end of a new warranty?

    The dealer told me $2000 for 2 years extra on the scout so that turned me off and that was buying upfront.. I won't be servicing there though so will ask afterwards I guess...

    All extended warranties start at the end of original warranty

    I did it through Ineedwarrantynow.com.au

    i got it free with my car if i service it during its whole factory warranty 'life' for an extra 2 years on top of the factory 5. however after reading how hopeless the dealer is, i might not bother.

    does skoda offer extended factory warranties?

    Yes how they suck you in

    I can get mine serviced where I like at much better than dealer rates so will probably work out cheaper.

    There is only a year factory warranty, the extra two yrs are vw Australia, hence the ripoff pricing for any warranty. By comparison Mazda and Honda quite often throw in an extra yr or two and if you pay it's about $400 for another year genuine factory warranty. Skoda only offer Allianz....

    Manufactures (Factory) warranties for both my cars are for 3years or 10000km whichever is first.

    Extended warranties start on the day that each of them finish

    The scout has 3 years unlimited km manufacturer warranty, but your right the extra two years taking it to 5 years is with Allianz...

    I think mine is 3 years or 100,000km. (Could be 150,000km, but I doubt its more)
    Though, I've used it a little so far...

    How many KM does the extended warranty add? By some rough calculations on my part, I'd be hitting 100,000km in 2.5yrs.
    2012 Octavia vRS TDI. Darkside big turbo, 3bar tune, other stuff. 200kW/650Nm.
    1990 Mk1 Cabrio. 1.9 IDI w/ 18PSI.
    1985 Mazda T3500 adventuremobile. 1973 Superbug. 1972 Volvo 144 in poo-brown.
    Not including hers...
