Question Extended Warranty Costs !!

Originally quoted £581 for MY99 UK Turbo 2000
Phoned to renew - Cost now £1233 !!

Took it up with George Darley (Mgr), now £864

Hmmmm

I dunno now - might take a chance and not bother - Saves £864 which I could do with having just come out of a contract and the next one isn't due to start any time soon.

Anyone got any figures on how many engines go pop at 6 / 7 years old.

I don't often hit the limiter.

Subaru warranties are very expensive now, I paid the lesser amount right before it rocketed
My car is avaliable if it is important to you

It hurts like hell but I've stumped up the £864.00
Fate being what it is I know a piston would blow up if i didn't take it out. Of course it'll run like a dream now for the next 12 months.

That's cos they think you're driving a P1

Once I set them straight the price came down to a much more reasonable £864

Subaru do seem to want to price themselves out of some warranties.

My P1 cost about £440 for the 3-5 year warranty.
People are now quoting £1223 for an additional one year.

Time to look at aftermarker warranties, methinks.
