Land Rover Extended Warranty - Worthwhile?

About to tackle Ford Australia on a paint fail.
I doubt I will have any luck but Im going to try.
Perhaps if the vehicle originally had a extended warranty it may have made the argument easier.
2006 Ford Territory Ghia turbo.Currently has 57000km,we are the second owner,all services by the selling dealer done ahead of the km due to time,vehicle sheded most of its life.
Car looks as brand new,except the roof bonnet.During the Xmas holidays we had a couple of 40degC days,after it looked like somebody polished the bonnet/rooftop/doortops with wire wool.Ther has been a clearcoat failure.
If Ford dont cough up will be hitting up the insurance company.
Approached the local quasi Ford dealer(they also sell Nissan/Mitsubishi) today,they wernt interested in chasing it up.They suggested I contact the selling/servicing dealer.Told them I want a 60000km service plus transmission service done but Im not interested either,will see the the selling servicing dealer,being a true ford dealer they may be better people to deal with:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:.

Good luck with that!

Given its age not even implied warranty will cover you. Insurance probably not either as it is not crash related.

The Allianz/Land Rover Extended Warranty offered by my dealer is $3,995.00 but my Leasing Company is unwilling to pay that amount as it is not within the lease agreement.

They are offering an alternative policy from Australian Warranty Network at $1,305 but I am assuming that this policy excludes Land Rover Assist (although I'd probably go back to NRMA Premium care as I've been a member for ever.)

Triple the cost is a significant impost, particularly when I'll have to front that out of my own pocket.

Has anyone used AWN?

AWN - STAY AWAY !!!:censored:

There has been some discussion regarding AWN previously:

Here is one:

I had the $3995 warranty through my dealer. Only came close to making one claim for the compressor but dealer covered it themselves.

In hindsight was it value for money? Probably not but gave small measure of peace of mind.

It has expired now.

It's not. But "based on that rate of replacement" he feels he will get value from it in the future.

My car is also a MY12 and the original 3 year warranty ends next week. Some may remember an event with my car on Mt Ousley Road to which I am ever so grateful I had a new car warranty and everything was repaired without trouble or angst. Future costs of a similar value are scary to me until I own the vehicle and have that part of my disposable income available to me once again.

The AWM limits on the replaced components most certainly would not have covered that warranty claim.

Is $77 per week value for piece of mind?

will depend on the terms of the warranty and the underwriters. they are markets as genuine LR warranty same as the new car warranty but I am led to beleive that getting claims approved is a nightmare and most are rejected leading to litigation. he who has deepest pockets and more layers wins.

Perhaps the newer offerings from LR dealers are better and you are actually protected?

Lotz-A-Landies assume you have had end of warrnty checks done by your state moroting body RACQ, NRMA, RACV and an indie Landie specialist as well as the dealer?

I did all of that when I was coming off lease and off warranty, had many, many items attended to as part of that including fuel pumps and transmission steel tray and service.


cheers

Make a few calls ....


Read this thread from start to finish ....


Get the right deal ... which used to be Allianz not LR .... all is good,


All this other stuff is just noise ....


Seriously folks ...

Hey guys,

My factory warranty has expired and i'm looking at options. It's still not clear to me what others went with as options to an extended warranty? Has anyone purchased an extended warranty through platinum car finance? I've read old threads where they just resold the allianz option.

If your factory warranty has expired you might be out of options - you won't get the Allianz / LR one
