Something I've wondered about

I have seen a RR at a "third party" dealer. Let's say the vehicle is coming to the end of its warranty from new - so it's between two and three years old. Do JLR sell warranties which the dealer could buy to apply to this vehicle which would have the exact same effect as if it were an "approved used" RR - in other words two years from date of purchase?

many thanks, Mike

yes, I bought a 2011 L322 and got a year long warranty with Warrantywise thrown in. cost was c. £1000. I think the mileage has to be under 100,000 to qualify.

Yes but what I'm wondering is whether there is any basis on which I can have a warranty that is exactly the same as I would have if I bought from Land Rover as an "approved used" vehicle. In other words - a Land Rover warranty!

I have a Jaguar Land Rover extended warranty on my 2011 Vogue SE which I purchased direct. I.e. I didn't go through a dealer. They were also happy that I was using a specialist for service and repair.
You can ring them direct and chat. I have a contact number if you need it.

This may help

As far as I know, LR won’t put one of their warranties on a car bought from a non-LR dealer.

I think you have to wait 3 months before they’ll inspect your car (£120) to check nothing is wrong with it.

Anything they find needs to be fixed. Then they’ll sell you a LR warranty. What do I put here then?

Surely they would put a new warranty on a vehicle that was still within the original three years, whoever bought or sold it. If there was a break in warranty periods they would need to inspect the vehicle at considerable cost. I did this with an RRS some years ago.

I looked at having an extended LR warranty and there was nothing to pay regards an inspection whilst the car remains in the original warranty period.

That's correct, it's only when you go past the previous warranty expiration date that you have to effectively start again by having an inspection. It makes sense as the existing warranty gives LR a certain confidence that nothing is likely to be very wrong with the vehicle at that stage.
