Extended warranty pricing

[triode12]

I too have been looking on the Golf/Jetta thread at prices for extended warranty. The price for the 2.0 TDI looks good compared to the $1,950 I have been quoted from my local dealer for extended warrany on my 2007 2.0 TDI DSG Passat wagon which is about to run out of original warranty.
I tried the two dealers most favourably mentioned in the Golf/Jetta thread (Southern Classic Cars and Denlo Parramatta) but Jaz has been on leave for quite a while and others have not yet returned my calls.
Has anyone had success in getting anything like the 2.0 TDI price of $1,269.24 mentioned above for a Passat DSG wagon? I'm beginning to suspect that price may only apply to a Golf unless someone can inform me otherwise.

Contact Jamil Syeed, Business Manager at Denlo Parramatta VW. He will match or beat quotes from Jaz for the VW 3yr extended warranty (underwritten by Allianz).

is the warranty transferrable if you sell the car? i reckon it would have to be to consider it.

Yes, the Allianz new vehicle warranty sold by VW dealers is transferrable.
There is a "Transfer of policy" form in the back of the Allianz PDS policy document to fill in and send to Allianz with a $50 transfer fee.

fantastic selling feature if you are selling the car at say 3-4 years- able to offer the buyer a warranty of 1-3 years - puts you in the same or better position as the dealers.

can someone confirm you "buy" this extended warranty around the time your manufacturers warranty is about to expire?

...can someone confirm you "buy" this extended warranty around the time your manufacturers warranty is about to expire?

Yes. That's what I am doing right now. My original manufacturer's warranty is about to expire next week. I have been researching, considering and procrastinating for the past few months and I have left it right to the last days which I don't recommend you do.
Once your manufacturer's warranty expires, you are no longer eligible for the new vehicle extended warranty but you can buy a used vehicle warranty which is cheaper but doesn't cover as much as the new vehicle warranty. (I haven't researched this one much but others say it is not as good.)
Do your research and make your decision with enough time before your warranty expires to cater for any last minute hitches such as dealer reps on holidays or not returning calls for a day or two.
The good news is that I have now made contact with Jamil Syeed at Denlo Parramatta and he does indeed quote a very good price and emails a pdf copy of the Volkswagen New Vehicle Extended Warranty PDS. This is an insurance product from Allianz Australia that provides cover "in accordance with the cover provided by a manufacturer’s warranty".
You just need to read the PDS, provide your details, your vehicle details and your credit card.

I paid $995 incl. GST for the official 3 Year / 60k warranty and roadside updrade on a new 2010 Passat 125 TDI wagon purchase. It's the one mentioned here supplied by Allianz. Strangely the VW website doesn't mention extended roadside there but it was mentioned to me and it's in my contract as 'Upgrade Warranty/Roadside". Perhaps it's the rental and towing part of the insurance but that's not quite the same as roadside assistance.

PS I did get a corporate plus discount though, but it wouldn't have made that much difference. $2200 seems way to much and could just be to make $1700 sound like a good deal.

Got a quote today for a 3 year extended new car warranty for my MY07 TDI Passat sedan: $1650 from VW dealer in Belconnen ACT.
The original warranty expires in May.

Considering a replacement DSG would cost $20,000 plus (so I have read elsewhere) it would be money well spent I imagine. Plus those boys provide great service (in my experience).

Perhaps one of the sponsor dealers might consider a bulk buy for forum members I'd probably jump at a fair price....

You should be able to do better with Jamil at Denlo - he should be able to beat that price easily. It is worth giving him a call.

a bit dumb , just to be clear, this extends the warranty from

2 year vw to a third year?

any issues in the third year go to the delaer and show them your special paperwork?
