I'm coming up on 35k miles and I've been thinking about getting an extended warranty. Since VW does not offer extended warranties directly, what is a good 3rd party extended warranty to go with?

I do not want to go through my dealership since they make commission off of you.

Save your money. They're not really "warranties" ... more like insurance policies. Bank the money you'd spend on the "warranty" so you will have a ready reserve if you need cash for repairs.

They are not warranties or insurance policies. They are prepaid service plans. If they were insurance policies they would be governed by the state's insurance commissioner. They are not warranties since a warranty is provided by the manufacturer, not a third party.

This is incorrect.
VW does sell VW branded warranties through their dealership network that you can use for repairs at any VW dealership.
I was told by my local dealership service dept they use a third party warranty company.

VW extended warranties are run by a 3rd party company, Fidelity. Googling fidelity complaints doesn't give me the warm fuzzies. Pretty ridiculous stories on why they deny claims.

Save your money.

TDI THIS,

VW offers a warranty called VW Drive Easy. They do not directly sell it, it is sold by their dealers.

I charge $300 over the cost.

It is written by VW, backed by VW, and has their insignia on the contract.

It is facilitated thru Fidelity Warranty Services.

Here is my thread and quotes on the Platinum plans

Newly revised as of Jan 3rd, 2014

Here are the numbers for the all new 2012, and 2013, and 2014 VW Passat TDI's



Chris here from Burlington VW in Burlington, NJ.

The VW Drive Easy extended service contracts have changed as of Jan 01,2008
They have now combined the new car extension w/ the used car extension and
have come up w/ one main plan.

Now the time starts the day you sign up and the miles you choose are on top
of what you allready have!

They still have the same verbage in the new contract as far as coverages
that will be explained here:

> Allthough I am open to all coverages, I would reccomend the Platinum
> coverage as it is an exclusionary warranty vs an inclusiuonary warranty!

>
> These quotes are w/ a std $100 deductible.
>
> Should you want a $0 deductible, please add an additional $230-$517
> depending on the terms you choose!
>
The $100 std deductible is per visit, NOT per complaint!
>
> This extended service contract is valid at ANY VW dealer and the dealer
> gets
> paid thru their parts and warranty dept.
>
> This warranty is also valid at authorized shops and they get paid thru a
> credit card.
>
> You are never responsible for more then your deductible!
>
> If you cancel in the first 60 days, it is 100% refundable, after the 60
> days, it costs $50 and the plan will be pro-rated!
>
> To transfer the contract it costs $40!
>
> The warranties I sell are geuine VW warranties. I DO NOT deal in
> aftermarket
> warranty companies! The service contract is backed by VW and fascilitated
> thru Fidelity Warranty Services!
>
