Extended warranty?

[propaganda]

Our Mini warranty is about to expire. Is it worth renewing? Costs are between £326-£443 depending on level of cover. Any thoughts welcome.

Have you tried warranty direct??

Propaganda,

which option did you go for in the end??

People have always told me that the BMW/Mini warranty is bullet proof, and a lot of people wouldnt be without one.

The possibility of a problem with the engine/gearbox is not huge, but the price sure would be if something did happen to it.

On the other hand, I like living on the edge, and that is why when in a months time and my MINI warranty expires, I will not be renewing it.

Instead I will do the few little mods I have been wanting to do which I could not do previously when the car was in warranty

What is the warranty period on the Mini? The reason I ask is that my car was redgistered in June 05 and I received my letter informing me my warranty expires next month, 4 years after redgistration.

I thought the warranty period was 5 years on TLC, is this not correct?

Hi

Warranty as standard is three years. TLC pack is not a warranty it simply provides the servicing for a five year period. If you bought the Mini from a Mini dealer they will provide an additional years warranty if the car is over three years old.

Not sure if that answers the question??

Now need to start looking for a new warranty or work out if I want to go down the brave route and not bother.
