Aftermarket car warranty (yes, I know!)

Hello all,

This question has been asked a thousand times I know so apologies in advance!

I'm looking to purchase an aftermarket car warranty for my 2005 Mitsubishi Colt. Now I know they're not normally worth the paper they're written on (exclude everything due to wear and tear etc.) but I've just seen the Tesco 'Finest' car warranty that does in fact include coverage for general wear and tear. Full details of what is and isn't included are about 3/4 down the page at http://www.tescofinance.com/personal...policy-doc.jsp

Price is also good £199.00 for a year, but I'm a little skeptical after reading some comments about Warranty Direct etc and the policies not being worth the paper they're printed on - though the Tesco one seems to cover most things.
So - my question - am I wasting my money? :beer:

Thanks!
Chris

    What are you expecting to go wrong? Have the car serviced properly and you should not need this cover.
    Have you read the list of what is not covered?
