Just about to pull the trigger on WarrantyWise...

WarrantyWise have so far halved the quote to cover my XXV, put me on the 40k mike cover, even though my vehicle has done close to 50K, introduced all extras covering everything outside normal expected deterioration based on service replacement intervals, confirmed no betterment clause, and knocked some more off.

I will ask for one more price drop then press the button, probably on Wednesday...

Does anyone have any last minute recent feedback or advice before I do?

Thanks all Thumbs Up Justin

simply do NOT do it
would not have cover bigger than 10K on single payout and I do not think they will ever cover motor failure so NO
I used to have them for a year useless as LR extended warranty check Warranty Direct

Yup, Warranty Direct is the one to go for, don’t bother with Warranty Wise LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

Ok, great so far...

I’m happy to go with WD, but this WW one does seem to cover everything, and the 10k per claim payout didn’t seem a big deal unless I have to replace the engine.

Also, I have been hearing WD have a betterment clause, so any advice for things I need to check or ask for? Justin

To be fair, it was about 7 years ago, and when I complained to Quentin Wilson they refunded 3 years worth of premiums and maintained the cover until the end of the third year, when they did the compressor Joined the BMWX5 45e group

See that’s the problem...

I’m looking for recent experiences because we all make mistakes, and I want to know which company has learned more from them Smile Justin
