Extended Warranty - Am I Entitled to a Refund?

Peaks87

Hi, I purchased a vehicle from a dealership in November 2020. After getting my first mortgage in July 2020, I decided I wanted to 'downgrade' my car and sold the Audi I had purchased. When I bought the car in November 2020, the dealership told me I had to include extended warranty (even though the car was still under the manufactures warranty period), so I went ahead and signed the paperwork for the extended warranty to start 30th January 2021 once the Audi warranty had run out. As I no longer have the Audi, am I entitled to a refund on the extended warranty that was purchased through the dealership?

Does the extended warranty not transfer to the next owner?

No I don't believe it does, I wasn't told this at the time of purchase?

What did the paperwork say, when you read it before you signed it?

A lesson for the future.

You do not have to obey a salesman. 

You should have stood firm and declined the extended warranty if you didn't want it.

Even if they made the purchase of an extended warranty a requirement for buying the car, there was nothing stopping you from agreeing to it then cancelling within the next 14 days as normally permitted by law.

Depends on the T&C's of the warranty you signed up to - only you know this until you tell us the company.
I've had pro-rata refunds on a previous ones through Audi and Lexus

Have you asked the warranty company?

Hi all, the warranty was with a company called Safe & Sound but they have finally just come back to me and I am entitled to a full refund as luckily the policy isn't due to start until 30th January. Thanks for your replies.
