Subaru Extended Warranty

[badbaz]

The scoob is out of warranty in September and I've had an offer in to extend it for one or two years.

What's the recent views on this and has anyone taken and or used it?

Does it cover the same as the original 3 year one? How much are rear shocks as mines already had two and I hear the same sounds begin again. Surely it'll be easier to sell on with this(presuming it's transferable with the car)?

My warranty runs out in September also. I'm not taking the extended warranty but rather putting some money aside. I've owned the car from new and only covered 17k. Its never been hammered and always warmed up and cooled down. It got a good check over at the recent service and 2 rear shocks so I'm more than happy.

Don't think the extended warranty is anywhere near as comprehensive as the manufacture's 3 year warranty. I think it is similar to the approved used car warranty that I had on mine when I bought it. Lots of exclusions in it.

I was offered an extended warranty at the end of my approved used car warranty but decided against it given the exclusions. Like Colzo, I just keep a wee bit aside in case of any unforeseen repairs.

It has just had its 6 year service today and got another clean bill of health. Got every receipt (including from previous owners) since it was new and it has had nothing but routine servicing although it has only done 35k. Seems a tough old bus!

Waste of money, may as well put the money in the bank in the event of any issues. If you think Subaru are bad Porsche wanted £900 a year to extend the warranty on our Boxster (Only get 2 year warranty with a Porsche)

.......although it has only done 35k.

Nice mileage for the age James.
