Hey folks. New to the TDI world, just purchased the following...
2009 Jetta Sedan TDI
6 Speed Manual
33,8xx Miles
$17,995
Got a really great deal on the car, way below any other TDI in the country with those miles, and fair price on the trade. When I got into the F&I office, I knew the warranty pitch was coming, but I kept an open mind. Ended up negotiating what I think is a good deal. Now, NORMALLY, I would not purchase a warranty, but I thought this plan was pretty good. Here's what I would be covered for (I know some of these don't affect TDIs):
Engine:
Engine block
Cylinder head
Rotor housing
Oil pan
Valve cover
Timing Cover
Internally lubricated parts
Oil Pump
Timing chain, gears, tensioners
Balance belt
Variable valve camshaft adjuster
Intake and exhaust manifolds
Harmonic balancer
Engine mounts
Water pump
Flywheel
Flexplate
Transmission, Transaxle, Transfer Case
Case housings
Housing covers and pans
Internally lubricated parts
Torque converter
Viscous coupling
Vacuum modulator
Transmission mounts
Drive Axle
Drive axle housings and covers
Internally lubricated parts
Axle shafts
CV joints and boots
Driveshafts
Universal joints
Flex discs
Driveshaft center support bearing
Driveshaft yolks
Front Suspension
Upper and lower control arms
Upper and lower ball joints
Hub and wheel bearings
Steering
Steering gear
Rack and pinion housings and internally lubricated parts
Power steering pump
Power cylinder assembly
Fuel
Fuel injectors
Fuel pump
All turbocharger internal parts and housings
Cooling
Radiator
Electric cooling fan motor and relay
Fan clutch
Fan shroud
Interior Climate and Comfort
Air conditioning compressor and mounting bracket
Compressor clutch
Compressor clutch pulley
Accumulator
Evaporator
Condenser
Brakes
Master cylinder
Vacuum or hydro booster
Wheel cylinders
Calipers
Equalizer and distributing valves
ABS electronic control unit
Wheel speed sensors and exciters
ABS proportioning control valves
High pressure hydraulic pump
Electrical
Starter motor
Starter solenoid
Alternator and mounting bracket
Voltage Regulator
Wiper motor
Headlamp swtich
Turn Signal Switch
Windshield wiper switch
Seals and Gaskets for all parts listed
Fluids when required for repair
Transferability ($50 to next owner)
Roadside Assistance (Towing up to 50 miles)
Car rental ($40 a day)
Trip Interruption ($150 per day)
Deductible $100
I know there are quite a few threads on this, but none of these warranties seem to go to the miles like this. I purchased it for $1,900 which I feel is a pretty good price considering some of the components covered.
The warranty will cover the car until 183,8xx miles, since it adds to the current car mileage. I drive about 35-40,000 miles a year, so I will definitely be able to hit it.
The company is Warranty Solutions, which is part of Wachovia/Wells Fargo. Local VW dealer does accept it.
So does this seem like as good of a deal as I think it is? Or am I nuts? I have 58 more days to make up my mind.
