Gallardo Warranty Renewal
Discussion
Does anyone know if there are any wasy to get this renewed outside the official channel (which have said they won't do it).
Lamborghini don't offer an extended warranty product currently. Keep being told they're working on it, but as they're still playing catch-up with the bigger manufacturers, I can somewhat understand that their sole focus is new cars! Perhaps one day soon they'll see the bigger picture...
We buy from Warranty Wise who seem to have the most suitable product available for our Pre-Owned Lambos. Our Service Dept should be able to quote you etc.
If your friend's car is 07, then it should still have warranty?

am pretty sure its an 07 car...not sure why warranty lapsed??
Lamborghini's only focus is the manufacture and wholesale of new cars.
'Approved Used' warranties tend to be underwritten by insurance companies (rather than the manufacturer) and are arranged with the relevant concessionaire / importer to appease the dealer network. Makes it easier to sell used cars!
As there is no Lamborghini UK office, we look after ourselves.
I know that the warranties we use for used cars are comparable to those of the manufacturer-branded ones, and they certainly aren't cheap!
Having a branded warranty just feels better, when in reality it is just the same insurance product.
Buy from a dealer and you know the car is prepared to factory standards. I'm confident enough in the warranties we use to spend nearly £2K a time on them.
I'm sure Lamborghini will do something eventually. But in the meantime I wouldn't let it put you off buying one as you can get adequate cover.

Lamborghini do an extended warranty which is available pretty much worldwide. The problem is that the FSA have been mulling over giving it approval for nearly a year. You can get it anywhere else just not the UK.
So dont be so negative Stu (lambobrum)

BTW thats your negative bit!Dragging this thread back up, as next car could be a Gallardo. I can afford an 06 car & general maintenance, but not any big repairs if something goes bang. Thus the need for a warranty.
I see above people mention Warranty Wise, so I ran a quote, which came back at £3,800 for 12 months !!!! OK I chose the top option, but is this not required for a car such as a Lambo ? Quote below
Can current / previous owners please share how much they spend on extended warranties please & what level & options they have chosen for warranty wise (if they use it) ? Anybody had to use them & found their cover was enough or not ?
Thanks in advance for advice

Main reason I am no longer in my old 07 gallardo is the fact that Lambo won't sell one of their own Extended warranties in the UK.
I don't trust 3rd party warranty companies as it seems a real mixed bag as to when/if they pay out whereas I want a warranty for full piece of mind. Moved to a Ferrari because you get 2 years warranty on approved cars.
Maybe be back in a lambo when I can afford a new enough one that it has plenty of lambo warranty, but personally I thought £4k for a warrantywise warranty which *may* still not cover some problems was not right for me.

Also if you do go with warrantywise I believe there are voucher codes out there for discount on the 2 year policies which gets better price.... Also if you do an online quote then wait a day or two, generally someone does a follow up call with you to see why you didn't buy and offer an improved price, give them a call if not and see if they can do any better!
Thanks for response. Currently have the the Porsche extended warranty on my GT3 and I see Ferrari offer same 2 year warranty. Shame re Lambo. They must lose a lot of potential customers, who maybe after owning a second hand one will go for a new one at some point.
Unfortunately I sit in that group, so won't experience Lambo land
. Makes decision of Gallardo vs F430 easier though I suppose
