car warranty refund
purchased a used car from Evans Halshaw.
had numerous problems in first 3 months so asked for exchange of car.
dealer accepted to refund value of car but is refusing to refund or transfer a 2 year £500 warranty bought with car. the t&c's state it cant be refunded or transferrred BUT in the case of a car rejection surely i shouldnt be out of pocket?
the dealer has instead offered the same warranty on the exchanged car at £399, so thats £899 for a 2 year warranty.

I think you should quit while you are ahead - good job with getting your money back from your car.
If the T's and C's state there is no refunds or transferred then the warranty company cannot transfer it - only a goodwill gesture from the supplying dealer - see if you can get another warranty for less than £400 - although anything apart from a main dealer warranty are generally worthless.0 -
Personally, I'd have a chat with the actual warranty company to have a go, but if not have to suck it up0

Hi there
I just wondered if you were successful in recieving a refund for the warrenty? I am in the same position with Evans Halshaw where they have sold me a car which is faulty and I am really concerned about loosing money on the car and or the warrenty! Any tips on how to deal with it would be gratefully recieved!

Just like the other thread you resurrected, the OP made a post, logged off and never returned.0

Consider the £500 a write off, but save yourself another £399 by putting the money into a bank account for if and when your car needs something fixing.
These warranties are a rip-off.
If you'd done that in the first place, you'd have a £900 fallback if you had some car trouble."There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe a 'Princess Coronation' locomotive in full cry. We shall never see their like again". O S Nock0
