bodyboarder Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Hi all my zed will be out of warranty in a few months and i am concidering getting an extra 2 year main dealer warranty and wandered if i should get it or not? The trouble is i have already swopped the exhaust , wheels and will be putting coilovers on soon as well, so the warranty wont cover these parts obviously, so is it worth getting? I only do about 4k a year in it any way but all it would take is one thing to go wrong with the engine and i could quite easily spend the cost of the extra warranty...... dont know what to do What do you think?......

Zugara Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I have this warranty, and what a total waste of money... They will always get out of upholding any claim.. If you read the small print, basically very very little is actually covered. IMO.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodyboarder Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 What main dealer full nissan warranty? I was told that its exactly the same as the warranty that you get when buying from new, the same sa i have now? I did phone one dealer and there warranty was a after market company, the ones that dont cover jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 i have the one that u can only get when your car is under the initial warranty, never had any issues with them and get on really well with the nissan stealers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodyboarder Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Ya that sounds like the one nelip. They wont £530 ish for 2 years , which i didnt think was that bad ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 thats really good, i paid 400 for 1 year. nice to have as a piece of mind if anything major goes that isnt wear and tear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugara Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 The extended warranty is underwritten by 2 companies....AA being one, cant remember the other. It is not a Nissan warranty.....Be warned. I bought mine only because it covers the roadster roof motors, which i was led to believe fail and can cost circa £700 plus fitting. The warranty i have (AA) didnt cover water in my headlights..I was informed that the light units are "Trim"...Another get out clause..

Neilp Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 the one i have is the actual extended manufacturers warranty which is the extension to the original, i know they offer aftermarket warrantys once the original has expired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodyboarder Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 This IS nissan uk extended warranty as i asked that same question about who was the warranty with. I am pretty sure you can only get this warranty if you are in the 3 year manufactures warranty. My dads boss bought a 58 plate zed and has a 5 year warranty with it so i guess this is what i will be getting. I think i will phone up again and quizz them about it.

Tay Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I was given a 1 year (up to 100000 mile) extended warranty when i bought my Z. It's a proper nissan manufacturers warranty not the aftermarket type. I'm told that it covers me for exactly what is covered under the original 3 year warranty. All the paperwork should be from nissan and it comes with a nissan warranty booklet. I think it's worth having as it gives you some piece of mind.

chrisjones6699 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 The other warranty they offer is from carcare. That's what i have. I had a 2 year warranty and just after i bought my zed (04), i had some issues with the gearbox and they "attempted" to fix it (unsuccessfully!), R35LEE done some digging and found out that the work that they did do, cost the warranty company 2.5k! NICE! It's going back to Nissan soon for the 2nd attempt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
