VW's 3 Year Extended Warranty

[yowie]

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.....

Looks like I might have to call Jaz/Jamil/ACT dealer mentioned in earlier posts for more realistic quote. BTW... cant see anything about $2k limit repairs in paperwork ?

Mike,
I think you will see that the $2,000 limit refers to used car warranty, which is all you can get once your new vehicle warranty expires.

So my Polo GTIs warranty is up Friday. Rang Jaz at Southern Classic but she is sick. Spoke to Kim who is very helpful and familiar with the discounted deal for forum members. $1080 for 3yrs 60,000km full VW warranty (thru Allianz). She said normal retail is $1620 which is what Highway VW in brisbane quoted me some time ago. Which I think is pretty bloody good. Waiting on a call from Jamil at Denlo.

Hey guys,

I've only got about 4 months left on the 3 yr warranty, so I'm looking around for the extended warranty. However I'm the second owner of the car, so does that mean I can only purchase used car warranty or can I still extend the initial 3 year warranty?

Also I've been looking through the thread and only noticed prices from around last year, so I'm just wondering what the updated price for a 08 Golf GTI MK5 DSG is roughly atm in around Melbourne.

Cheers.

Call Jaz or Kim at Southern Classic (02 42542000). Best service I've had from anyone in ages and GREAT price. Call Kim tomorrow (Jaz has done her achillies tendon...) as she is REAL busy today..... Of course say you are on this forum. They give a FANTASTIC discount. you don't have to buy in Melbourne - shop around (I did) but I doubt you'll find anyone to match them.

Forgive my ignorance.... Does it mean that if you purchase the extended warranty from Wollongong, you can have your car services at any vw dealership and still valid?

[PeterHBne]

Yep - anywhere. And it doesn't have to be serviced by a dealer. Just a VW approved agent

Sorry stupid question again.. The dealer sent me an email selling the extended warranty to me before I take delivery of the new car in two weeks time. From reading the this forum, I take that people are buying the extended warranty at the end of their standard 3 years warranty?? They quoted me a discounted price of $1900 for a Tiguan.. down from RRP $2212. That sounded like a rip off to me. Can anyone provide any feedbacks?

Call Southern Classic and get a price and compare.

If this dealer is going to be servicing your car (and i'd think hard about going that route....) it would make sense to buy extended warranty through them as well. BUT only if they price match. I rang quite a few dealers and Southern Classic were easily the cheapest. They aren't doing me a favour - they are making $$$ still - so your dealer should be able to at least match. And yeah - you can buy it any time up to the day your 3 year warranty is over. The only reason you would buy it now is to avoid any price rises in the next 3 years.

Actually. It has nothing to do with "VW Approved Agent". The Warranty says "any suitably qualified person" so any MVRIC licenced mechanic should fit the bill.

Buy it when you want within the warranty period, from who you want. That price from your dealer is 14% off; i think Jazz & Jamil are doing ~30% off.
