Just some quick advise....

I am being offered 3 years warranty and service all inclusive for £4000.

I don't have much experience about the service interval could someone please let me know? Is that worth it for £4000?

If its a main dealer Trident warranty, take it, try and get them down a bit to £3500 naturally.

Don't this its the trident warranty. Do people use an independent for service/maintenance? I live in reading so anywhere close by will be great. Am I right in thinking the service interval is every 2 years?

If the car is looked after I'd not bother and save the £4k into a warchest. I'm getting a year on mine as I think that is good enough really as a safety net.

Very nice car - congratulations.
I am just a noth into ownership of mine and enjoying every minute and all 1500 miles !
Today I found the Hindhead tunnel :luvit:
I negotiated a 3 year GEM warranty (not service package) I think the retail value was £2300 but
in reality I got it within the advertised price of the car.

Lovely car. Well done.

The hindhead tunnel is great..my daughter and I went through it a couple of weeks ago on the way to Chessington...windows down and full fat sport mode made us laugh like loons. My ears were ringing for ages afterwards.

Service interval is every two years or 12.5K miles, whichever comes soonest. I would keep the cash in the bank and use it if needed personally.

Absolutely fantastic car by the way....I do love a GT in white, it really suits the colour.

Well done, a nicely spec'ed car.

The service intervals are every 2 years or 12k miles with the services generally alternating between a minor and a not so minor

Have fun & welcome along
