I picked up an 02 bugeye STI Prodrive 5 weeks ago thats now done 30.5k miles.
Subaru said they would charge about £400 a year for extended warranty that will cover the car for the year up to a max of 60k on the clock.

Cars completely standard prodrive (no engine mods). Is it worth £400 a year?
I know it depends if i go down the mod route. I dont expect i would add on the PPP package but might be tempted with a remap at some point.

Main question being if i was to keep it standard do these engines frequently play up??

My last car was bought from new and it was nice to have the warranty to get any problems fixed.

My opinion is "yes", it's worth doing for that price (you get the Subaru breakdown cover as well), after I think 5 years the cost of extending goes through the roof, which is why hardly anybody purchases it (hope you are reading this SUBARU UK), my MY00 has had a new clutch, MAF, replacement clutch release bearing and a small oil leak fixed under warranty, total cost for all of that over the 3 years I've had the car would have been the best part of £2k, if you intend to go down the modding route then the answer is no, as the warranty gous out the window, (unless it's PPP).

Thats a good price as i have been quotes around 550 for renewing my scoob waranty. Your other route is a 3rd part one. I have a quote from waranty direct for 250 pounds which is for 1 years waranty and breakdown cover

If you can stick within the Subaru warranty restrictions (mods, servicing etc) then it is definitly worth extending it.

Thats is a good price and VFM in IMHO much better than the £1223 they were quoting me for 1 year (and many others) for my STI02 PPP with 20K in Febuary

Thanks for all the replies!! Looks like i might as well go ahead with it at least for a year while i get used to the car and then if i feel the need to mod will wait till the warranty runs out then start

Nows lets hope they dont decide to whack the price up or pretent they quoted for different car.

Unfortunately that maybe the case or the saleman giving telling you B*****ks to make sale I think the price goes up drastically if the Car is over 33months old when taken out.

I asked about mine at 31months £400 then at 33 months said it's now £1223 so make sure do it before then

I asked when it was in for its service and it was already 3 yrs and 3 months old. They had all the details on the system as it was the garage the car actually got bought from by the previous owner.

I'll have to wait untill next month to sort it out money wise as ive already spent money on brake pads and a decent mountain bike this month lol
Will see then what they charge me.
