Lenhurn Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I’m looking to get a warranty on the car. For obvious reasons. MotorEasy from Halfords has quoted £60-67 monthly provided the car has been served to Audi requirements. The warranty looks good but the services have also been done at independent garages. anyone have advice please ? I had the D3 previously as a cheap get me by car which gave 2 years trouble free motoring . No warranty due to age and mileage also no heating and random door opening issues…. But I bought the next model which is this mine and happy with it a 21st century upgrade lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Read the small print. These warranties aren't worth the paper they're written on most of the time. You might be better off speaking to Audi for extended warranties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnet Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Hello Len, Some (perhaps important ?) considerations:- You are considering paying c£65 per month - £780 a year - and that warranty is conditional on you getting your 11 year old car serviced by a main dealer, or a recognised independent - or perhaps Halfords -? No doubt Halfords would sell you this based on ‘It’s only just over £2/day! It’s probably me, but I dislike monthly equivalent payments, and only work on how much is it going to cost me over a year. As Steve says, the devil is in the detail, and most warranties exclude expected wear and tear, and it’s surprising what else is excluded. My tip would be to obtain copy and thoroughly read it, so you know what you are (not) getting for your money. If it were mine, I would be finding myself a trusted local garage and getting my servicing done there and putting my £780 into an account - for any rainy days. We are all different, I just wonder how many disappointments have been encountered with warranties, as opposed to ‘glad I took that out’, so it’s just a question of reading and re-reading the small print and deciding whether this gives you the level of content that you are looking for. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenhurn Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 I’m going to sell one set of alloys as I will be looking at all weather tyres so no need for two sets either the ones with winter tyres on or the ones on the car which are S8 alloys so I’m told Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Same as my thoughts then Len. Please feel free to advertise either/ both sets, with details of tyre brands, tread depth and the prices you want. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
