Extended warranty

[Mk6 GTI]

Hi all!

I was wondering how much you were quoted for the 3 yr/60,000km extended VW FACTORY warranty for a GTI mk6?

Cheers!

Dont do it, you can still purchase extended warranty right up until the new car warranty runs out. If your car gets written off or stolen or you sell it within the 3 years then u get nothing back for it.

That's actually quite good advice from steve_tdi, although I too would like to know how much the extended VW factory warranty is.

Also, if you do defer the purchase, is it cheaper or more expensive?
Does the KM and Age affect the cost?
Does the options (or total original purchase price) affect the cost?
Or is it just a flat fee?

OK, as im in a good mood today, i used the search function on the forum to find out some of this information for you.

GTI - AUTO / MANUAL - $1417.95

Actually i got the dealer to call VW in Germany and well if you total the car or its gets stolen etc in the first 3 yrs you can get a full refund. The price increases as time passes. They will also charge you the full amount when you get it later.

But of course if you buy it one day after you buy the car rather than "with" the car you won't have to pay Stamp duty on it

[Corey_R]

That's right... stamp duty in NSW is either 3% up to $45k or 5% over $45k

Extended warranty

Hi,

My Mk6 TSi118 Comfitline is on order and I have optioned the 6 year extended warranty with the purchase.

Is anyone able to clarify if the extended component (2nd 3 years) is covered by VW or by a 3rd party warranty company? I have noted that in the US it is provided by a 3rd party (Infinity?) but my salesman (Brisbane) assured me that my extended warranty was provided by VW and was identical to the initial manufacturers warranty in it's terms and conditions.

Thanks

My GTI is coming from McGrath VW and they told me the extended component is a McGrath warranty for the extra 3 years /75,000 KM.

This was included for free however.

I got the same thing, if you service your car with them they throw in the extra 3 years, however there are a lot of conditions as its offered by them solely.

VW from my understanding do offer a VWAus back extended warranty that is the same as the initial warranty (minus the VW assist) and can be taken at any time during the 3 year initial warranty if you wish to do so.

VW Australia offer a "Volkswagen New Vehicle Extended Warranty" for a further 3 years/60,000Km (to a max of 100,000Km) after the initial 3 year new car warranty runs out.

It is an insurance policy underwritten by Allianz Insurance.

It is transferable to a new owner when you sell your car.

It is very similar to the initial warranty except it doesn't have a roadside assistance component (which is available separately at extra cost). It does allow your car to be repaired by the the selling dealer (preferred) or else the closest licenced repairer of your choice.

It is better than most "dealer" extended warranty (read the fine print on both and evaluate the differences for your individual circumstances, particularly any selling dealer-only servicing and repair requirements).

As it can be sold by any VW dealer to anyone anywhere in Australia it is worth shopping around to get the best price (a search on this forum might save you several hundred dollars).

As an interesting aside, you can also buy it for non-VWs. I recently bought it for my Skoda Octavia.

Thanks.
