Extended Warranty.........
My wife owns a Cooper, one of the first build, just had its first MOT. It's a pretty well sorted little car. It's fully loaded with Chilli Pack, Sports Susp, Mini Spots.....etc..anyway......
Warranty runs out today and I can't make my mind up whether or not it's worth £350 quid to renew it.
The car has probably had 4k+ on warranty work to date (3k of that down to a rivet!!!!!), so I am kind of thinking that all that's going to go wrong has done by now.
Have people found Exteneded warranties generally worth it?

£350 for 1 year or 2? Even for 1 year thats not bad value (6.73 per wk) and I doubt £350 would cover lifting the bonnet on a repair 
like most things, its a risk that you take or not.

Just say you dont take out the warranty, and the same problem occurs again.
This time you will have to find the 4K.
£350 is nothing, its also good peace of mind. I would deffinatly take out the warranty.

As far as I know it's the full warranty extended, after next year it reduces what it covers, and increases in price 
I think I have decided to go for it, £6.73 per week swung it for me
Don't really know why I haven't just done it, anyway I wil re-new tommorrow
Must be the fact that I am a tight Jock

hail-hail,you got yours cheap mate,the warranty ive taken out was from the dealer i bought the car off,which cost me 300,but you can only claim upto 1000 per warranty claim.Ive just phoned bmw mini and from the 14th of january the price for a years warranty has gone up to 502 inc vat! But doesnt cover all of what the original warranty did.Are you sure yours is the full warranty extended?Done well mate if it is.
