    Default warranties???

    after experiencing problem after problem with my vectra i am considering an aa warranty or similar.

    i was always led to believe warranties are not worth the paper they are written on and only cover items that very seldam go wrong.

    anyway i was wondering what you guys think? are my thoughts incorrect?...

    do warranty companies try every excuse in the book not to pay out??

    whats the best company and policy??

    thanks

    I'd like to know this too as I have a 2.2 Direct that's just waiting to go wrong, and if I could insure myself against the inevitable I'd be very happy... <watches thread closely>

    i went for vauxhalls own extended warranty last year at a cost of £300 for the year and was told it basicaly covers everything the same as the manafacturers one .
    luckily i never claimed on it but with my car being an 08 that goes up to £500 this year which i don't think i'll be paying

    I was quite tempted to go for warrenty direct when I bought my car but was informed that I needed full service history and car to be less than 70k miles. Also that any wear and tear items would not be covered until after three months of the policy starting (or something to that effect)

    Correct on the 3 month thing I think but as your car get on a bit then you pay some % to the bill , so I think I have to pay 5% now as my car is approaching 70k

    so does the car have to be serviced by vauxhall?? or just a garage?

    i tend to service the car myself as im an aircraft mechanic. but im sure this wont be good enough??

    my car is also a 2003 with 106000 miles on the clock.


    if i opt for a warranty and choose warranty direct, give u a pm so u get ur free vouchers
