VW extended warranty

[barrenjoey owl]

This morning I phoned the 1300 number listed on the PDS, expecting to speak to Allianz but the phone was answered as "Volkswagen Insurance".
I was told that, before taking my vehicle to a VW Dealership which was not the selling Dealership, I would have to phone the service line and get approval to go to the other dealership. Told that they would not force (policy holders) to go out of their way. Sounds like those Canberra residents who bought their cars in Sydney wouldn't have to take them back to Sydney, and I could take my car to the new dealership in Belconnen.

I've taken my Golf which I purchased in Sydney to a couple of Dealers in QLD with no issue.

Apparently there may be a price rise from May 1st so get in quick, the Touareg has gone up from $2400 to $3600 recently.

The RRP for Transporters went from $2400 to $3600 just before I purchased the extended warranty for mine in December 2009 , so it sounds like they might be doing some costing adjustments.

I've just been quoted $3590 for Passat. Anyone know where I might still be able to get it cheap? A 50% price rise is insane - I hope it's not reflecting projected VW unreliability.

Update: After a bit of searching on the forum, first call made and mentioning this forum I was offered the official 36 months extended warranty for $1418. Purchased it on the spot and very happy.

I have the extended warranty on my CC and received the documentation the other day. Even though it was included in the vehicle price the policy did mention a figure of $1106 so anything more than that is simply dealer markup.

Most of this is available in a sticky in the Mk5 Golf and Jetta section but for Passat drivers this is my experience.
Called both Jaz Hokin (02) 4254 2000 at VW Wollongong (Southern Classic Cars) and Jamil Syeed (02) 9808 9700 at Denlo Volkswagen Parramatta.
Jamil was a little harder to reach (business manager) but both were equally courteous and helpful. 5 minutes of questions about the vehicle, mentioned that I was refered by members of the VWW site and the quoted RRP of $2212 became $1417 with Jaz and $1288 with Jamil straight up.
Within 30 minutes each had sent almost identical emails with the PDS attached, Just had to reply with the vehicle questions answered and provide credit card details and the deal was done.
I would recommend either person and the deal offered, it's just that Jamil's price is just a little ($129 may be a big difference for some) better.
