  • used car warranties?

    hi
    what the overall opinion on second hand car warranties, are they worth it? or a load of insurance b---- i see quinton wilson has got on board with warranty wise, any opinions

    I've asked this before, general consensus is not to bother, vanos won't be covered, better saving a bit each month for an emergency fund..

      many companies wont give cover for cars over 10 years old. has anyone got a warranty other than BMW'S own ?

        As previous poster says, dont bother

        In my opinion most car warranties arent worth it, they only ever cover parts that are much less likely to fail. I've just had a fight with Volvo over whether a part should be covered under the warranty or not.

        I put away a bit every month as a maintenance fund, no matter on their usage these are expensive cars to run and expensive when they need fixing.

        For the MC, unless you can find a warranty that covers the usual + Vanos, Subframe (and all associated parts) and shell bearings at a reasonable price then I wouldnt bother.

              I wouldn't waste your time, RAC Warranty is useless. Complete waste of time and money.
