    For example - I am buying 3 or 4 year old car - should not expect to have engine issues - How long am i protected for. In that case this kind of protection is better than warranty.

    Read up on S75 - it's not a used car warranty scheme!

    Generally speaking, under section seventy-five, if you pay ANY money using a form of credit, you are covered for breaches under the act. However, as Quentin quite rightly points out, it won't cover you for mechanical failures, only if the retailer does not carry out his responsibilities under the consumer credit act, or the SOGA.
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark
