Hi all,
I posted a similar thread on whirlpool so apologies if you have seen it there. I did get a couple of good responses regarding the price of the warranty could be bargained down a bit and also to look into the 5 year trans warranty that was offered a while back (I haven't followed up with a dealer about this).
My 2013 Mark 7 Golf w/ DSG (Purchased new in mid Jan 2014, but is an Oct 2013 build) is coming to the end of its manufacturer warranty in mid January so I have been looking around at extending the warranty or selling the car.
I have contacted my local VW dealer and asked them about getting a manufacturers extended warranty which is identical to the extended warranty offered by VW on new/cars yet to be delivered. They were very accomodating and sent me the below PDS with a quote amount of $2013.74 for 2 years coverage, its titled "Volkswagen Extended Warranty Insurance" and looks to be backed by Allianz.
I mentioned on the phone to them that we have had a clutch pack replaced early this year and I wanted things like that to be covered just in case. They said it would only be things like trim/consumables that would be not covered.
Basically what i'm looking for is for anyone who has real world experience with this warranty to let me know if it is indeed sufficient coverage for things like Engine and Transmission issues. I've read the covered/not covered sections, but the sentences are always somewhat criptic.
I really would love some educated opinions on this
