Keep playing hard to get my quote came down from nearly £700 to about £300 (sorry cant remember exact figures) but decided to go for the lite package that seems to cover all the big things if they let go for less than £100 but you have to break down and need recovery!!

ta Mine was a blue one! Smile

£87 a month is a decent amount of money whatever way you cut it.

Have you had any issues with it so far? If not why not stick the money in an ISA or suchlike and then when the time comes it will hepl if not cover any bills and will be less hassle than a warranty company that will try and wriggle out of it? FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

If you want a big discount, go for a big excess, like £250, that's what I did, on the basis that I don't want to be claiming for small things anyway, too much hassle ! Range Rover-less at the moment - Pining!

Wouldnt need a warranty then Mick and limits her ability to shop as well Very Happy

Then stop her using the RR by saying there is some fault that causes it to need a certain start sequence which involves pressing about 10 or more buttons in quick succession and she wont touch it with a barge pole then Very Happy FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

WD wanted £750 for me with the 'luxury Care' package, didn't wish to haggle and £120 for the 'luxury care-lite'.

I've put my pennies in the bank.

I have just joined the AA with an ad-on for parts & garage cover. Am paying roughly £20 per month all in and can claim 5 times per year up to a value of £500 per claim with a £35 excess. As long as you call them first for breakdown asssistance. Have had major issues this week, so sounds like a not too bad deal.

I've got a Warranywise policy - it covers everything except airbags and sat nav.

Cost £187 for 12 months.

It's about to expire so it will be interesting to see what this years policy will be. 5.0 supercharged autobiography

This is what I've got - had it for a year now and not had to claim - but for an extra £9 per month on top of usual membership seemed OK - covers any vehicle that I am traveling in!
