I replied to your pm about a Gold warranty but you did not respond. You gave me a quote for the platinum but I also wanted to see what the cheaper warranties were going for.

Thanks

$100 deductable for bumper to bumper?

SO this does not include powertrain, and you have to pay $1200 in the first place. So you will have to make more than $1200 in claims + $100(number of claims) in order to even break even.
$1200 will go a long ways to fix bumper to bumper problems.

Sorry but this is a rip-off.

I bet you could sell me some gap insurance as well.

I probably would have to educate you about the products I sell before we could do any business!

As I appreciate any constructive criticism, please explain to me how you PERCEIVE that powertrain and EVERYTHING accept wear and tear items are not covered! Should I send you a brochure!

As always, Thank you for the bump!

Well you said this is to extend the bumper to bumper warranty. Powertrain warranty is not typically in the bumper to bumper.
Does your plan include the powertrain?

Either way...
9/10 times an extended warranty is not worth the money. Especially with a $100 deductable.

Can you show the fine print on here?

Items that are not covered that you are likely to have problems with:
Battery, CV Joints, shock obsorbers, exhaust, heater, door handles.


At what point does this warranty say that an item is a "maintenance part".

Say I have front end problems (non alignment related).
I'm confused... The gold covers the drive axle but you say the CV is not covered. on 95% of VW's what other axle is there?

Front suspension IS covered but not the shocks.

Sir,

I miswrote that the CV joint is not covered! It clearly states that the CV Joint boot is not covered! This is due to the fact that the boot can be torn very easily by road debris!

As far as shocks, what part of normal wear and tear is not clear to you hear?

I think the warrenty spoken about is actually Fidelity, there doing VW factory extended warrenties currantly. Check the wording of things, when they say shocks aren't covered, that is true, but, struts are. CV joints are covered, but if failure is the result of a torn boot causing lack of lube and debre damage, they are not. When dealing with warrenty companies, you'll make your life a whole lot easier by getting at least the minimum services performed at your local dealer to keep a paperwork trail in case of an engine failure. Also, timing belts are not covered, but, if they fail as a result of a covered part, IE, tensioner, waterpump, they are. I"m a consultant for several warrenty companies and there guidelines are all differant.

As a side note, I was just informed{I probably should have known this} that the VW RealDriver extended service contract is valid in Canada!

My banner will be up on the scizzor lift in Montreal! Call me for price quotes!

Correction!!!!

I just spoke to the warranty company again and found out the bad news.

I CANNOT put a warranty on a Canadien made vehicle. I can only warranty a vehicle made for NA and driven in Canada!

I am sorry for the confusion!

Congrats on your purchase! Welcome to VW and welcome to the TDIClub!

You std VW warranty:

4yrs or 50k Limited Bumper to Bumper
4 yrs Unlimited miles Road America{AAA}
5yrs or 60K powertrain incl Torbocharger
8yrs or 80K Federal Emissions and Cat Conv
12 yrs Unlimited on inner to outer body rust

Here is some pricing for you:


How about extending your bumper to bumper warranty coverage up to 100k with a genuine VW warranty valid at any VW dealer accross the country!

I will pass along any of the many different plans thru VW at just a $300 surcharge from VW of Langhorne.

What does this mean? How about keeping money in your pocket by buying from me vs your local dealer. Why pay your local dealer $2400 when you can get the same warranty from me for approx $1275

Here is an example:
2004-2006 VW TDI {any model} w/ less then 24k on the odometer ADD $150 if over 24k and under 50k
$100 deductible
5yrs or 100k{whichever comes first}{from Jan of the year of your car}
Gold Plus Coverage=$1275
Platinum Coverage=$1395
Rental and Towing covered for the term of the coverage!

Again, there are many plans and coverages! I will set up personal plans for any TDIClub member that inquires!

I ask that if you take advantage of this special TDIClub offering that you donate a small token to the Club!

Thank You for your time.

Hi Chris,

Can you please clarify this for me...there are no VW's made in Canada, and seeing that Canada is part of NA (;)), it's not clear to me what can and cannot be warrantied. Do you mean that VW's originally sold in Canada cannot be warrantied if they end up in the U.S.?

Thanks.

Thank you for the clarification question.

Vehicle's made for the Canada market cannot receive my warranty.

Vehicle's made for the N. American market and moved over the border can be eligible for the VW RealDriver extended service contract!
