Extended Warranty pricing from VW

[Cave Creek Alt Fueler]

How do these prices sound to extend the 4yr/50,000mi warranty for a 2008? Do these sound like the typical soft dealer prices that can be cut in half, or a good deal? I drive 15-16,000 a year, so the standard warranty would only be about a little over 3 years for me.

5 year/75K - $1,600
6 year/100K - $2,100
7 year/100K - $2,500

[mech888]

I got a quote for 1695 for a 5 year 100k from my dealer. I will be purchasing mine soon.

[thenew3]

are these prices listed with $0 deductible? Does it cover bumper to bumper?

[rlkeen]

Remember the extended warranty from VW is from the date of manufacture and there is hundreds of dollars difference between retail (which is where they make the most profit) to wholesale price. I have a 2004 with 23000k and paid 1050 for a 7yr 70k, 100 deduct platnium. So shop around at other VW dealers, you can get them cheaper. Tryi checking out Chris at VW of Langhorne Pa.???

[herbertm]

so how does that work? 5 years after the 4 year/50K ? or is it one year?

[10 year vet]

One year if it is 2008 MY

[rybocf]

Chris,

Can I buy this from you if live out of state? Will that have any impact on my service. Does it even matter?

Is this price the same no matter when you buy it? My 04 is about 3.5 years old and almost 50k miles. Trying to decide what to do.

thanks,
-Ryan

Chris -

Thank you for the detailed information. Most helpful and definitely better prices than I was quoted.

So, not from date of manufacture, but Jan of year of manufacture. So if I get a 2008 now, thats like 3 months of extra coverage?

Have you seen prices move throughout a model year? What I'm asking is, does it make any sense to buy the warranty now on a new purchase if I can buy it before the vehicle gets to 50k miles?

Tax on a warranty. Seems strange.

How does the $100 deductible work? Is that per service visit? If I take it in and have a fuel system problem and some engine trouble, is it $100 to fix all, or is it per problem? Sorry to be anal retentive, just curious.

Thanks again.

[Cave Creek Alt Fueler]

One more question. Does the pricing matter on model? Loaded V10 TDI vs base model V6? Seems like there would be more to go wrong and more expensive items to cover. Air suspension for example.

[10 year vet]

A V10 Touareg would be just $250 more then a V8 or V6. It is a surcharge for the motor, not the components like air suspension!

[theswami]

Does anyone know if the VW warranties above cover peeling trim?

[10 year vet]

In the case of the 2008 and start time of the extended service contract:

If you purchase the extended warranty at the time of delivery{within the same month}the warranty time starts of the day of delivery!

In the case of a 2007 or older, it starts as og Jan of the model year of the vehicle.

The $100 deductible is per visit if there is warranty work that needs to be performed! 90% Sure of this, I will find out!

I have to charge Pa sales tax{we have checked into this}

The contract price goes up after you hit certain mileage intervals{for example, if you go over 24k, it is additional $150 surcharge!

I hope this helped!

Peeling trim is not something thaqt is covered under the extended service contract.

Allthough I am in sales and not in service, I do beleive that the trim is covered only 1year or 12k from the in-service date!

[Cave Creek Alt Fueler]

I assume the warranty is transferable if you sell the car?

[10 year vet]

For a fee of $40 to the warranty company, yes! It can also be cancelled at a pro-rate!

OMG!!! I got ripped off! I did a contract yesterday for my Touareg and the dealer charged me $2500 plus tax.
Is it too late to cancel and get it with you???
I have an 04 Touareg with 34k miles.

[whammie]

I would definitely buy from Chris. I bought both an 06 V10 and the extended warranty. Mind you all the way from CA while moving to NJ. Absolutlely no BS, everything was done right and as promised, period.

PS
CA DMV are a pain in the BUTT!!!

[Diablonyc2]

Thanks for all the info Chris,

It is your honesty and straight shooting that will get you my business when the time is right! From what I have seen you don't BS and try to sell us "the undercoating"

I will be in the market for this after my C-pre-owned is up. Odd though that it does not cover wood trim cracks as I have had it replaced on the factory warrenty.

The rates sound VERY REASONABLE as I can only imagine how much it would cost to do ONE repair out of pocket!

[axg1040]

What kind of deal did you get on that 06 V10?....just curious.
I will be in the market in about 30 days and will be looking for some left over 06v10s (or maybe some 07v10 leftovers). I too plan on dealing with Langhorne if they can get what I am looking for. Dealers down here are unable to give deals anywhere near them. It will be worth the plane ticket and 5 hour drive home.
Thanks.

[10 year vet]

TwisTTer,

You can cancel the policy w/ no monetary damage to you! In other words, FREE in the first 30 days!

Chris

[10 year vet]

There are just 5 2006 V10's left in the country and they are all located up east! My deal would be $8,000 under dealer invoice on these 2006's!

[axg1040]

Thanks for the info. Are there still "new" 06 V8s out there as well? Just curious.

[10 year vet]

there is about 7 oif them from Va to Me

[axg1040]

so basically you have access to other dealers' inventory?

[10 year vet]

depending on where the vehicle is! From Va-CT I do not charge to retreive the vehicle! Anywhere lese, we need to talk transportation costs!

How about 07 V10's. how many left in the country? How many left in the state of Texas?

[10 year vet]

There are 41 2007's left in the country! 1 left in the state of TX

[cybulman]

Chris, this is close to what my dealer quoted.

Does this have to be bought before the 4year period runs out?...because I am close to getting there and may want to buy the warranty and buy out my Egg.

PS:Only problem is VWOA quoted me 7.89% buyout-financing and I may go to a local credit union or bank where rates are much lower.

Cy

[10 year vet]

Cy,

The extended service contract has to be purchased while the vehicle is still under the new car factory warranty whether it be time or miles! 4 yrs or 50k

Chris,

Thanks for all your support here.

When the warranty says "shock absorbers" are NOT covered, does this include the air suspension components at each wheel on cars with the air suspension?

Thanks in advance for your help.

[10 year vet]

I have spoken to the warranty company and the air ride components are covered. The shock absorber is NOT!

[axg1040]

What is the difference between the 06 and 07 V10. Seems that the 06 had a higher MSRP...from what I have researched it seems that the 06 was fully loaded and the 07 had a base model you could add options to. Is that correct?
