FJSteve, thanks for your advice. I am purchasing this car privately and have asked the owner to confirm if it is still covered by warranty.
It is currently being checked over by my mechanic before it all gies ahead anyway.
Also, I did ring the 1300 number in the pds, and they said I should be able to purchase the extension even though I am not the original owner. So I guess that's a win
Just have to work out now if I want to fork out the money.
Sorry Pom...I didn't realise that it was a private purchase.Quote:

Nah it's a manual. And it's also out of warranty. Anyone had any experience with the VW used warranty?
the VW used warranty has a $2K limit on repairs.Quote:

Because I'm a valued customer they are prepared to offer me a 10% discount on the initial offer of $1980.00
I referred them to this forum thread with link attachment and asked them to try harder with matching of bettering
the offers.
Still waiting for a reply two weeks later.
Neil,
There is no geograpic association required with the warranty.
And the general experience in this thread suggests most dealers are not keen to, um, deal.
You can buy the extended warranty anywhere.
We are in brissie and bought from Sydney (Jamil).
If you are still interested, just phone Jamil or Jazz, mention the VWwatercooled thread, and see what happens.
Waiting for a better offer. Like, sit there until someone offers you a night's free sex. It will take about the same time.
Yep will be contacing one of them shortly.
I gave my dealer the link mainly to show him he was ripping me off.
Just had a quote for the 3yr Ext Warranty from Darwin VW today for my 2008 Golf TDi GT at $1,980, done 30,000km and I have 1 yr VW to go. I mentioned saw this forum and they advised its been 1,980 for last 4yrs or so.....Quote:

Rgds from Darwin

I got a free 3 year extended warranty when I bought my car 2 weeks ago. Barloword Glen Waverley had a weekend special on with either the option of 3 years free scheduled servicing or 3 years extended warranty. Whilst the servicing would be great, the resale value will be better with the warranty 'til May 2016!! Also, that dealership was about 35 mins drive from me, I'd rather use a reputable mech closer to be.
