Extended Car Warranty

coffindodger_2

Hello All

I have just put a £50 deposit down on a 5yr old Mondeo and at the time also agreed and signed to buy a 3yr extended warranty.
Not realising the nearest repair centre is 35 miles away.
Buying the car from Motornation and when i agreed on the warranty i had in my head the nearest dealership which is 12 miles away but later realised that is Motor Depot.
I can see this being a bit of a nightmare if i have bought a duffer and having to travel backwards and forwards to the repair centre.
I would rather buy a warranty that gets me to a repair centre nearer home.
On reflection the salesman did not check where my nearest repair centre was and he also knew i had travelled over 60 miles to view that particular car.
Do i have a cooling off period the same as buying an electrical goods warranty.

Many Thanks
Regards
Dodger

Not necessarily any cooling off period in your case Dodger, electrical goods warranties are different. You need to get the terms and conditions of the warranty to see what you have entered into. Onus would be on you to check the repair centre was what you consider to be a reasonable distance away, if it had been 350 miles away things would be different and you could then start to hold the salesman responsible.

Thanks for the reply MC.
Unfortunately i have not received the T&C so i am unsure of those untill i pick the car up on Wednesday.

Just found this on the ABI website.


All insurance policies are important documents. Read your policy carefully as soon as you receive it. If you do not understand, you should ask the person who sold you the policy, or the insurer, to explain. All policies have a cooling off period, whereby you can cancel the policy with a full refund, subject to no claims being made, if you wish to reconsider your decision.
