Extended warranty - where to buy?
The warranty on my 3 year old VW expires today so I called them for a quote for an extended warranty and was told it would be £439 for the 'unlimited mileage' option or £409 for '15,000 mileage' option. Both seem quite steep and are more than I can afford at the moment. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
