used car warranty

(1/3) > >>

faheem:
ive got an enitial 6 months warranty with the dealer but i was wondering what the best deals are out there? what cover people are using ?

Poverty:
personally I wouldnt bother unless you have dsg.

Phil Mcavity:
DSG box is actually stronger then a manual with clutch. Less likely to have issues then an older car with higher mileage tbh.

Mechatronic issues have be reported on cars that are newer rather then ones that have been fitted to the car since new and have had no issues.ie ones over 3 years +.

It might be stronger but if the gearbox fails, i read you are looking at £5000 to replace it so good advise ref warranty :happy2:

Phil Mcavity:
Ever heard of 2nd hand dsg's going for £500?? .

If you need one, statlers in sheffield are stock piling .  Same with Mechantronics units.

I wouldnt be put off by the 5k pricetag personally.

Again isnt a very common issue to worry of tbh.

Any warranty at the end of the day is useful. What you manage to get though(from the small print) is another subject
