    These people are in business to make money out of you. I think I will go with Chippy Minton on this one. As the vehicle is from a main dealer, it should be alright if it has a full servicing history.

    It is a dealership warranty? Do you know what it covers? It may not be worth it.

    How many miles do you do a year? How many miles already on the clock of the vehicle? There is alot to be weighed up as to whether it is a good idea or not. My instinct is to say no, but I think it is worth investigating, even if it is just for peace of mind.
