Extended Warranty?

[plsteve]

My car will be 3 years old at the end of June and I was wondering if anyone knows what extended warranties are available through Subaru? Are they worth taking?

Any details on cost and value for money would be appreciated!!

Cheers

Steve.

You will no doubt get a letter from Subaru offering you the extended warranties very soon mate. If I remember correctly they offer 1 or 2 years and you must keep up the service records and keep your mileage under an agreed amount. Now for the price, depending on model there are roughly £1k -£2k depending on how long you take it out for. I believe the extended warranty just carries on from the manufacturers one so all the same parts are covered and your Subaru Assistance will also be extended. I'm in the same boat, my plan at the moment is to keep my car for another 2 years (3 years old in September) and unsure if to take the warranty out or not. If you have owned your car from day one then you will know how well you have looked after the engine, gearbox etc, so you could think to yourself is the extra warranty worth it? But like everything in life you just don't know whats round the corner. My advice is if you don't extend the warranty then keep aside the money you would have spent just in case something does break.

Spend the 2 grand on mods, break the car, then get into debt to repair it. That's what I did! Only I didn't wait til the warranty was up!
