VW Factory Extended Warranty Pricing Shock

[Bryn23]

Well, i thought id look into the 2 Year Extended warranty yesterday while i was signing off on a new transporter.

The extra 2 year VW unlimited km warranty was a tad under $5000... i was a little taken back by the amount...


need less to say i didn't take it, hopefully any warranty related issue would appear in the first 3 years...


Is it just me, who thinks its a bit over the top?

Mine was $1750 but not from a dealer

Hey Hillbilly, that price is lot more palatable than $5K, can i ask who you went through>

Is that an indication of their faith in their product?

That was my first thought...

I got one for the Polo through Allianz and one for the Passat through Swan Waste of money as never had a claim on either and wouldnt do it again. A car is supposed to last longer than 3 years so you should have a claim under Suitable for use etc if it breaks down in under 5 years

In saying that the Polo has only done 18900 and the Passat 29000 in 5 years.

Thats not a lot of KM in either vehicle, like all insurance, if you have it, most of the time you don't need it.

But if you don't have it, you most likely will need it.

I believe extended warranty on anything to be a rort.
Given that it's usually through a third party says something for starters..............and then they use the fine print to get out if it in most cases.

Except the Allianz extended warranty purchased while your car is still under a new car warranty.

$5k is a bargain if it's a VW with a 118 TSI 7sp DSG combination
