Tata warranty dilemma?
« on: 19 May 2019, 12:43:05 »

The 2 year Jaguar approved warranty (which seems to cover most items) will finish in September.

Should I?

1....Purchase another warranty? Not sure how cost effective this would prove.

2....Sell the car and buy another Omega, or perhaps a fire-damaged Astra derv from a shady scouser?

3....Keep the car and hope for the best. No new warranty.

4....Sell the car and spend the money on loose women, drink and drugs.

5....Sell the car and donate the money to charity.

6....Any other option.

Option 6: send the warranty cash to me, in the car and I'll spend it on drink.

It seems to have spent more time in the Jaguar workshops having warranty work than sat on your crunchy drive M'lud?  :-\

It is depreciating like falling off a cliff. Dealers offer around £27-30,000 which is £10,000 less than I paid around 20 months ago.

New Ford Focus money.

Tough pill to swallow. Big car depreciation sucks. I was surprised to discover M3/C63 hold value better than M5/E63. I know I'm late to the party  :-[

£1000 for a car like mine, definitely not. £1000 for a car like yours, definitely. I would imagine that there could be some horrendously expensive repairs on the big cat, and £10 a week is well worth the peace of mind.
That's dependent on: The level of cover, and that it is actually £1000 which is your best guess.

I would also need to read the small print.

Warranty companies tend to not cover the items that are most likely to go tits up. :(

Much like pet insurance. They will either run a mile or charge the Earth if you ask them to insure a shagged-out 10 year old mutt.

All insurance is gambling against the odds. Option 3 wins.
