Warranty Direct any good?

You can make your own insurance policy. First thing is to maintain your car on schedule and use the correct lubricants filters etc. Don't drive it like a getaway car. Get a biscuit tin and put say £20.00 a week into it. in 3 years you'll have 3 grand to spend if something goes wrong and if nothing goes wrong you'll have £3,000.00 for yourself and Mr Wilson gets bugger all

Agree but the whole fiasco really scared me off old/expensive cars. Anyway I then bought 2 used approved cars in a row (535d, X5 35d) and now just lease new cars. The wife really wants a last shape 4.4 TDV8 Range Rover but the cost of warranties dealer approved or not is going to be the deal maker/breaker. A gear box for one of those is circa £10k!!!

I have to say BMW own used approved was amazing.

+1, I've had the same problem with warranty direct years ago & I'll never use a warranty company again.

they make money due to the thousands of people that never make a claim. same as any insurance companies.

Or by being difficult and withholding payment for a random reason.

My car is 18 years old, and bar my recent prang, over the last few years i've not had an awful lot go wrong with it since I took looking after it into my own hands. Its been a learning curve - but I'm glad I did it this way. Preventive maintenance is the best way to keep it running. I even dropped my gearbox oil at 100k and put fresh in it. Runs like a dream!

I have a quote for warranty of my 04 A4 3.0 Quattro sport for £333 which seems good value with the backdrop that I am lacking confidence in the car from a engine perspective. So wondered what experiences people have with this firm or others like it..

Cheers,

Chris

So OP what did you do??
