buying car from car giant is it worth taking AA warranty in addition

Liz33

I am buying a BMW and have been offered AA Warranty 36months at £699, is it worth taking this as extra, I am always wary about these as I don't think they always cover what they state, anyone have any experience of this?

It is meant to cover parts and labour for a list of items

Thanks

I wouldn't bother myself. You can put that £699 aside for car repairs if and when they are needed.

These warranties normally have a big list of things they don't cover, like normal wear and tear ie service, MOT, bulbs, wipers, tyres etc, plus the turbo if you car has one.

Wow, expensive and paying all that money upfront, just say 'NO'

You can get it annually much cheaper than that, with special offers if you are a new customer.

Go with the AA one year

Then go with RAC the next

Green Flag the next.

Special offers each time for new customers but watch out in the small print for Auto Renewal

thanks I have thought that myself but I always feel a bit pressurised in shop and as the car is used didn't know if I should take this

Have a read around about the AA and RAC warranties, they got a lot of bad press. Warranty Direct are a good aftermarket warranty provider and use a different insurer for their policies who don't tend to find a way of getting out of every claim.

My apoligies, I didnt read your post properly, I thought you just meant AA recovery cover.

But my thoughts are the same as the others with regards the warranty

Dont ever feel pressurised, just smile sweetly and say positively
'No thank you' and shake your head at the same time, and if they keep on just say again, and again, the same thing, they will start to feel foolish.
