Something tells me any claims on this particular policy will be treated quite leniently scratchchin

My guess is the warranty company paid HIM as an advert for their company. What a wally as well, wrapping it all in chrome..laugh

He's probably lost at least £200k in depreciation on the car as well.
Warranty wise on a Maybach - give me strength.

He wrapped the car in chrome as a joke to raise money for Red Nose Day.

Surely noone would consider owning a Maybach without a proper dealer warranty?

Why?

The people who own these are not likely to be bothered with a few £k repair bill anyway.

And having said that, I don't think it is the most unreliable of cars.

Telephone call:
Warranty Wise: Hello Mr Wilson sales are flagging so we have a great idea. We want you to have a wee chat with Mr Theo Paphitis and get him on board. Offer him a huge paycheck if he will endorse Warranty Wise but it must look like he's bought a Warranty from us. Then we can use the fact that the great Lions Den Theo Paphitis has a warranty with Warrant Wise.


Sorry , but I'm not being cynical am I ?

Apart from that I had a Warranty Wise policy for over 6 years and it paid out on every occasion apart from one, which was an OPC induced fault. So I have no bad words to say about them per se.

Warranty Wise: " "

Mr Theo Paphitis: Hello? Hey are your there. WTF. I said it needs a new engine.

Warranty Wise: "Umm. Wrong number. Bye."
