As I understand it you have to have the car serviced at a specialist Vauxhall dealer in order to make a warranty claim. I didn't really think it was worh it!
For my last service it would have cost £217.00 for the service (a check over and oil change) and £400.00 for the warranty! No way.

Nope.

Actually I dont think thats too bad. Dispite some minor hickups my warranty has been worth it so far. When car was new and untouched I needed a new gearbox. Plus some minor electrical stuff. Id be tempted if it was stock.

I agree, i wouldn't let VX anywhere near our cars.

I can always take my badge back off.

BTW, I'd be interested in that - just for large components. I was paying about £900 per year on our Boxster, just in case the engine or gearbox let go.

I've been lucky with the three we had. The last one took a couple of £k to get it up to scratch when we got it (at only 2 years old!) but the buying price reflected that. I know of plenty of people who have had to spend a fortune though on suspension and electrical gremlins.

Yeah we did 60 miles in ours in 7 months and it cost us £3,500ish on bits and bobs just because we hadn't driven it
