Me too As you say an unhappy customer is one that is likely to take you to court therefore offering a warranty to reasonably cover eventualities that a court of law would find against the dealer it makes sense to offer the warranty but with reasonable exclusions Its win win for the dealer if you self warrant because this way you can control the situation I delivered a car 100 miles last week but the customer signed to say the warranty they got was back to base at their expense,this will obviously cut out silly claims too and my own warranty specifically excludes consequential losses like hotel bills,fares taxis recovery etc This isnt denying consumer rights its enhancing their basic rights but ring fencing all possible problems to your advantage for any possible future claim thanks for taking the time Law Jaw appreciate it

RS it was , I still cant understand the no profit thing though , That's for sure ,

probably all about kudos and having it on the pitch they will probably smoke it for a week too these guys really are in the wrong business but hey ho

Only one sensible answer to profits isn't there As much as possible is the truthful answer . More on some and less on others is the blinding truth , If you get the calculator out , pye charts , graphs and all the rest of the calculations regarding % this and % that , you are doomed I say doomed ****eg ******Golf TSI in the block other day , Needed two bumpers painting , 4 tyres , three wheel refurbs , BCA assured pointed to manifold problem and it rattled on start up , Needs chain then . Retail it would fetch £8295 tops at age and mileage . Spend if you do it yourself , is around £600 /£900 depending on what sort of tyres needed , Made £7250 OUCH , + fees and report out the door say £7600 ish Assume the wheels are not going to be done , 2 month MOT left lets leave that , Switch EML light off "await warranty call " as going to deny manifold and chain was faulty and Paint is done £200 if cheap Tyres have no choice as 2mm only So £200, still makes it £8,000 on the showroom floor + advert , +valet , as a min that takes £200 which now makes £8200 and still a mess really plus it needs chain and manifold . saw it up at £8495 Now thats two months ago , still for sale , but now its £7595 , clearly this so called trader has forgotten what he paid or it . ****Another last week ***. Megane , local guy to us paid £16,500 on hammer plus fees , needed MOT , Service and new tyres 3mm rear 1mm front , Its on sale at £17,295 , I wanted to sell it at £16,495 and that was on the high side really plus I like to earn money out of it ,so shows what he paid over book for the bloody thing . Then tries to gross about £300 out of it . Be £99 left after Advert , MOT , VAT , and a wash Funny trade at present

Those using Lawgistics booklets, or in any case, their own pot and self administer, do you cover the same things a paid warranty would cover? Or do you pick and choose? And do you NEED a warranty company? If say A1 or VGS or whoever, cover 30 different components on a car, could you not just cover the 30 components your self, and put even the £20+VAT off each car in a pot? (Since the pot is yours anyway) Short of an engine or gearbox failure (or expensive injectors), is paying for warranties worth it?
