Anyone got any experience of after market warranties?
Discussion
Hi,
Not for me - my parents are looking at buying an 06 plate Astra Estate from Bristol Street Motors in Lichfield and have been offered a 3 year warranty at a cost of £599. I'm just in the process of finding out what's actually covered as I've never had a warranty on a second hand car, only new ones, but has anyone got any experience of either Bristol Street Motors, their warranties or any after-market warranties? Could anyone make a recommendation of anyone else to purchase a warranty from? I'm not sure they'll need one, but it'll give my dear old mom peace of mind.
It may be a good deal, it might not be worth the paper it's written on, but I'd like to find out either way if I can.
Cheers
Si

Worth a call http://pistonheads.warrantydirect.co.uk/
Just had a quick look and they want £350 for just 12 months, seems a bit pricey to me.I've just tried to find details on the AA warranties, but can't seem to find anything on their site, will maybe give them a call unless anyone can point me in the right direction?
Thanks for the replies guys.
The warranty offered seems to cover anything mechanical and electrical that wouldn't be consumable or a wear and tear type item, so seems ok for the money to me.
Anything else that crops up for them I can do myself within a few hours and parts are pretty cheap for Vauxhalls.
