Hi

I recently (last week) purchased privately a 2012 RRS Autobiography with NO remaining warranty

After the purchase I call a Land Rover dealer to enquire about warranty, but they said they will only put it on a vehicle they sell. Another dealer offered a warranty but it was not an official LR one.

I would like to purchase a 2 year official LR warranty. Anybody have any suggestions on how to get one?

Thanks,

The stealerships I called really didn't have any answers - each person just passed me on to the next who was just as clueless.

I just called the number you kindly provided and explained my situation. They gave me another number to call 0344-573-8055 so I'll call tomorrow.

I'll keep you posted - thanks for the help  2012 Range Rover Sport Autobiography 3.0 SDV6

You can try car care plan who underwrite the LR warranty, or go with warranty direct who will be more expensive but have a good payout rate (apparently) and cover wear and tear if my memory serves me correctly. Not sure if CCP do personal policies however..... 2010 TDV8

Or you could put your grand a year in the bank and take a chance?

Yep, that's the other option. Given some of the large bills that canbe incurred, personally I sleep better with a warranty for the horrible stuff (turbos etc.) 2010 TDV8

You would need to be a brave or confident man for the first few years to do this.  Lot of Landcruisers now sold

Agreed - but warranty companies will wriggle and wriggle any way they can to avoid paying out not to mention the paper chase and loss of your vehicle whilst your in dispute with them. Add to that the repairers frustration due to having your vehicle sat in their workshop/ compound and you have the potential for a very trusting time of it. Speaking from experience here. It's a personal choice of course. As with all insurance policies it's a gamble one way or the other.

My local dealership called and said, in order to get warranty on a vehicle that has expired warranty I must:

- Bring the vehicle to them for an inspection £150+VAT
- The vehicle should have had a service within the last thirty days
- The vehicle should have full service history

The charge for the warranty is £1095.00 per year.

I thing its worth it myself especially that its from LR, and it will help with the resale of my RRS - opinions please!!!!! 2012 Range Rover Sport Autobiography 3.0 SDV6

Yer ya right when I went into a stealer to find out about warranty they said the car will need a 185 check first there must be no outstanding work to be done. You can always phone up LR warranty direct sorry I have not got the phone number to hand.

If you can afford it & for piece of mind - go for it  16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............
