Warranties. Are they worth it?

Hi All

I'm not talking about manufacturers warranties, rather the garage variety that they administer themselves.

Has anyone any personal experience of these (good or bad)?

Buying a £15K car soon and seller asked me about their warranty which is £500.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, I will.

Depends.

How long is it for?

What does it exclude?

£500 is only £10pw.

Do you feel lucky?

They say 12 months, but I get a 3 month warranty anyway so 9 months I guess

It seems to exclude the usual 'wear n tear' stuff and limits work to £50 phr garage charge.

I never rely on luck.
