New sort of warranty type thing

New service allows better budgeting

It's at their own approved service centres (there is no suggestion of main dealer network), and note that they will provide your vehicles fsh on request. (and they'll put Castrol in your lovely TVR!)

£69.99 per month for 24,000 miles per year - sounds too good to be true if you drive a Cerbera or early Tuscan. That's cheaper than paying for services and an extended warrrantee

Plus a premium of £160 for all V8 models!
They'll also only pay for 1 service in a year, no good if you do over 6,000 miles a year!

I have just sent off for this, £54.99, 12000mls, 5ltr, servicing, MOT, breakdown recovery, repairs and labour, I'll keep you posted.......wonder if they'll pay for tyres

[thb]

I think the V8 premium is just for Audis

erm check the small print guys,

e-mail from motoreasy.com
""Dear Mr Nelson

Many thanks for your email enquiry. Unfortunately there are certain exotic
cars which are not covered by motoreasy - and this includes all models of
the Lotus range.

Regards

Motoreasy""

Hmm

bugger... thought I was on a winner there....

The catch is - the list of cars the scheme DOESN'T cover. Go to the MotorEasy site, click on 'Prices' and then 'Cars excluded'. You'll see that any remotely interesting car won't be covered - that includes TVRs, for several of you people who posted before me. Reckon that's how they'll make their money - covering bog standard boremobiles. I remember now that I got a mailshot about this some months ago - the list of exclusions didn't impress me then either.

[jellison]

You obviously have not read the CARS EXCLUDED part of the SITE - nearly ALL
performance cars are Excluded from entrt to the POLICY - this people are not Mad - not one is going to offer such a deal for say a Cerbera - a car with an Engine made of Chocolate!!!!!

[johnwilk]

TVR is wholly excluded from the scheme along with any other worthwhile vehicle that will travel from 0-60 in less than 10 seconds. Ideal for Nissan Micra users doing less than 6000 miles per year. (actually I'm probably wrong, it would be chealer to follow the Nissan dealer service schedule!) Be interested to see what would happen if they were inundated with enquiries from TVR owners.

Interesting one this.

Under £60 a month for my BMW 328i Sport.

That's £720 a year for 12,000 miles.

BMW want about £400 for InspII or £300 for InspI (bi-annual) or about £150 for an oil change (annual)

So about the same as running a BMW Approved Used Car Warranty and BMW dealer servicing.

So if nothing goes wrong they're on a winner. No doubt they have got LOTS of slippery lawyers (like me!) for refusing claims. If not they won't be in business very long, I reckon. Also it will monkey boys servicing the car, and you lose the value of a stamped up book with shiny BMW stamps in it - worth lots of $$ at selling time.

Mmmmmmm.
