Best Warranty?

[kmpowell]

Seeing as the search is 'temporarily disabled', can you chaps give your worldy advice on where the best 3rd party warranty is available from and how much i should be looking on spending? It would be for a hypothetical T350.

TIA
Kevin

Pathetical?

I think the best bet would be to 'cast your net out' and apply to as many as possible, and see what comes back, a lot don't do TVRs, so we're quite limited unfortunately, however, I do figure that if the warranty want over 1K, I may as well keep the money and put it in the Tam 'emergency fund'

My RAC warrenty just expired last week. They (RAC) are no longer prepared to cover TVR's.
So starts the ring around game.
Looks like £800- £900 + tax.
Maybe CW has the right idea.

I would also agree with Chris's philosophy on that one...

Well, the warranty I bought last year was £395, and that covered both mechanical and electrical up to the cost of the car. Unfortunately, the 'middle man' dealing with this very cheap (relatively) warranty turned out to be a crook and fleeced quite a few people by not passing on the customer details to the warranty company, and pocketing the money himself!!

I have just had my heater fixed under that warranty, and that would have cost me over £600, so I'm £200+ up, however, if I had to splash out a grand+ on a warranty (a lot don't even do limits up to the cost of the car!), I would seriously think twice before doing so.

A warranty which covered a max claim value of say 1k would still be useful if it were 300 pounds ish. This could conceptually cover everything except 'the big one' (so things like PAS pumps, dashboard gubbins, rotten widgets etc.).
