Hi Guys,
Got myself an S3 (late 2013) couple weeks ago. It does have the STronic gearbox and has currently done 30,000 miles. I usually keep cars about 3 years and do approx 10,000 per year. I LOVE IT!
Bought from main dealer so I have a full dealer 12 months warranty with it.
Was wondering your thoughts/views on purchasing an extended dealer warranty. They have quoted the following costs (not sure if inc or ex vat):
1 year - £670
2 years - £875
3 years - £1080
I would "hope" I could bolt this on to the end of my current 12 month warranty but have not asked yet.
They also said that to have an extended warranty, they have to do a 145 point check on the car before agreeing and that would cost 1 hour of their time at £119 (not sure if inc or ex vat). But I might be able to avoid this as the car has only been with me 3 weeks and they did their 145 point check when I bought it.
The car has just been back in to dealer for a faulty sat-nav but they were very good, polite, helpful and have replaced the ariel and updated the maps and all seems to be working just fine now all under warranty.
Do you think it is worth the cover? and the costs? Your views? Anyone else bought a warranty on a 30 month old car?
Thanks guys
