Paul Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Just read this on another forum, and thought i would pass on the heads up. Prices are changing, call 0845 641 9708 to take out extended cover. See attached Prices are going through the roof. <font color="red"> Also you can only extend your warranty 3 months before it is due. </font> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBM Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 It's almost cheaper to buy a new car. What a lot of cash.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon_J Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 That's silly money for 12 months cover. They obviously don't have a lot of faith in their cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 I guess it covers you for the Roadside Assistance too. But nearly a grand for a years extra cover - I', sure even a Cam belt service isn't that much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZURES3 Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Use warranties direct, I know 4 people who have used them with very good results. Rumour has it they deal with Audi Warranties anyway but 50% of the cost. WarrantyDirect AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insurance Jon Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 The change date is pretty significant. From that date (thanks to our Govt) all insurance costs ARE going up. This is because the selling of persoanl insurance (a warranty is an insurance policy after all) becomes regulated. The costs of this are massive, it is costing my firm (I only employ 5 people) an extra £35k a year to put in place. This cost is of course passed onto the comsumer. So you had all better brace yourselves for all your insurance costs going up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted January 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 your right there, my insurances gone up £76, despite having full no claims and some (7years) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belchy Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 On reading this post on the other forum last week I called Wayside Audi and asked to extend my warranty on my A3 TQ. The warrantry ends Jan 2006 . A chap called Nigel called me back to say that they cant extend it until 3 months from the expiry date etc which meant I was going to have to pay the higher ammount ... Needles to say, I complained and he agreed to take up the case with Audi on my behalf. Woopdedoo! ... He called me 10 minutes ago with the news that if your car is still under manufactures warrantee, you CAN extend it at any time. As it happens, I am now thinking of a third party warranty .. eg RAC, but I think Nigel at Wayside Milton Keynes deserves a pat on the back for some excellent customer service.

Paul Posted January 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 SmokeBelch you are the man! I owe you my thanks and a beer. as a direct result of your post, I also called Wayside today (all my service work is done through them) and got put through to Nigel and had a chat about above Extended Warranty. I explained that i understood, he had already taken another case ,(yours, which he remembered , but i didnt have your name) and had been sucessful in dropping the 3 month limit on renawals. I asked if it would it be possible to look into the same for my case. He was quite happy, and after an exchange of details, and a couple of calls later, Nigel rang me back to Yes, but it had to be done there and then, as by tomorrow the deadline would have passed. so by the skin of my teeth, I just got in on time. I went for the 1 Yr upto 60K miles warranty £517 the slight difference in cost for an import apparently. thanks again for the post above! and thanks to Nigel @ Wayside too. I had previously called the extended warranty line in the letter above and they would not budge an inch.

AlaisterM Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 I love how they use the term 'comfort zone' so liberally - and without the tiniest smidgeon of irony - in that accompanying letter (3rd para).*&^& ; that is expensive,though.

Oli Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 We sell Rac warranties, which are one of the most comprehensive on the market and are a lot cheaper than those shown, just PM, with me with your vehicle details and mileage and will run a quote for you next week Oli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted March 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Search tt-forum.co.uk for RAC warranties before you spend any money, I wouldnt touch them with a barge pole, consensus was they not worth the paper they are written on despite them being a well known brand. http://www.warrantiesonline.co.uk/ are getting rave reviews on the tt-forum.co.uk so are worth considering.
