LR warranty?

[m. toad]

help please

I have just bought a 53-plate 4.4 V8 privately and need to put a warranty on it

I have researched non-LR options and warrantywise, which I got from these pages, looks pretty good at £670 - £810; each repair is capped at £75 labour though

Land Rover seems to offer 2 options, although every dealer has given us a different price; there is a Select Cover option (£835 pa according to LR Warranty direct) and an Approved Warranty at £1,150 pa.

My local dealer has offered to put either on at these rates without any pre-check as the car has just 30k miles on it, FLRSH and has just had a service

Any advice / explanation of issues / recommendations around the above would be much-appreciated.

cheers

Whenever we have had a car for more than 3 years, have always put land rover approved warranty on it, cost in the past has always been around £1000, but never had any issue at all with any claims, think the last one was for a new stereo, no questions asked. also includes LR assistance IIRC.
My car is 3yrs old end of this year, & will probably go down the same route again, dosent take much to run up a bill of £1k, but the same as any insurance, was only ever good value if you use it!

I would go with the LR warranty. It is pricey, but £1k will cover the cost of a diff. failure straight away!

You can pay for the warranty over a 10 month interest free period, which is what I did, saves having to fork out all the money at front. The LR warranty is transferable should you sell the car. Go for the full £1150 warrant, the other is reduced cover and I think applies to LR's over 60k miles.
