Blimey it’s been an expensive week. Most of our everyday cars are registered in early March, so all of the VED, MOT, service, and warranty extensions have all come together in the last week - two had new tyres too!
Today I’ve extended the warranty on my AMG GT C Roadster, and I was pleasantly surprised. It was £2,669 (paid up front) for 2 years, for a Mercedes-Benz extended warranty, albeit underwritten by Allianz.
That includes a discount for paying up front, put to put it in perspective, at £1,335 per annum that’s the same cost as it was for our W164 M156 ML 63 in 2012, and half that of our W164 M157 ML63 in 2017.
Don’t get me wrong £2,669 is a lot of money, but compared to similar cars it seems reasonable - a warranty from Audi for an R8 V10 is £4,100 for the closest equivalent - that’s for 1 year, paid up front.
One tip, don’t just go by what the online quote says. The online quote was almost exactly double of what I was given when calling. I had to call as the online quote didn’t initially find my registration number.
I hope that this information will be useful to others wishing to buy an extended warranty when their manufacturers warranty ends after the first three years. I suspect it would cost more if not continuous cover.
Morning: Dad & Daughter dash to McDonalds to collect breakfast to take home.
