Land Rover Approved Warranty

Traded in my D4 yesterday for an Approved Used D5 HSE Lux. The salesman mentioned that from September Land Rover will be reducing the Approved Used Warranty term from 2 years to 1 year

In the light of poor claims experience?

The product is so good that you don’t need a long warranty, is that it? Oh wait..... Mr. Green Whistle

While Ssangyong have done the same. 5 years extended to 7 years bumper to bumper. Seems madness on behalf of JLR

I guess its stinging them in some way. To a buyer, if only willing to give a 1 year warranty what does that say about the manufacturers faith in their own product :-/

Can you imagine as a sales rep trying to sell a RR autobigraphy or similar and telling the potential buyer it only has 12months warranty how would you spin that.

Would be great if in September they revealed a new manufacturers warranty for all new cars - 5 years or even 7 on the new defender? that would be a good move.

Are there any European brands doing 5 or 7 year warranties? Asian, yes.

The warranty isn’t LR anyway it’s an insurance like most second hand main dealer warranties.

Indeed. We’ve mixed warranties by manufacturer to new cars with used car warranties in this thread. Thumbs Up

I thought that it was the law for a dealer to provide a 2 year warranty.

Do we have any confirmation from LR that what the dealer's Salesman was telling SD1 is true?

For clarity, the OP appears to be talking about the current 2 year extended 'approved' warranty that comes with all LR dealer based 2nd hand motors, not the 3 year manufacturers warranty that would come a new motor.

I’d also like confirmation. An approved used FFRR is still on my mind.

Just spoken to the General Sales Manager at my dealer and he confirms that it is true, although there will be an opportunity to add it at point of sale.

It’s not good news and the competition will make hay on this, but it looks like it’s going down to negotiation.

In yer dreams. That would prob sink JLR. It is fine for manufacturers with good quality and production, hence reliable cars. LR would have to seriously up its game, something I doubt it could do. Whistle
