I’d say get the car, but don’t get a Warrantywise warranty. Hopeless. They WILL do everything they can to never pay out if you need to use it.
This is the clearly default position. I have never got an aftermarket warranty before due to the poor reputation of aftermarket warranties.
When I bought my car it had balance remaining on a Warrantywise warranty provided by Maserati main dealer Charles hurst in Belfast. I was offered a top level extension on the same terms, no named parts, ALL mech and elec item covered. I decided to give it a go, and I believe Warrantywise are one of the better providers.
I had no need to use it for nearly 2 years but needed a couple of items towards the end of the cover, not major, both items together of less value than I paid for the cover.
They very reluctantly paid out for one item (but only as ‘goodwill’) after much discussion with Marios at Autoshield but refused to pay out for a couple of failed parking sensors. The reason? They claimed they were ‘worn out parts’. How the @@@@ does a sensor ‘wear out’. It’s a black and white case of an electrical failure, and specifically covered in the policy document.
However, it appears EVERYTHING covered in the policy can be overruled if they think it has ‘worn out’ ….. in their opinion.
Avoid. This applies to all aftermarket warranties. There is a reason I’ve never had one before and Warrantywise just proved to me why I’d never had one before.
Hows that for a rant!
