Car aftermarket warranties

[afee12345]

I’m looking to purchase a used vehicle past manufacture warranty in the near future;

some dealers offer various types of aftermarket warranties.

Reading about feedback purchasers experienced from these warranties,

it seems they are not worth the paper it’s written on.

It seems most claim handlers seem to wriggle out with the term “wear and tear”.

My question is,

are these regulated and referred to an independent adjudicator if things do go wrong if purchased one?

Thanks

theres no-one to got to as such- warranties are a waste of money on any thing and always have been

 

 

either

 

 

SOGA

 

 

or

 

 

sale and supply of goods act

should cover you unless its a private person to person sale.

also it might be worthy to note

that if you pay for more than £100 of the purchase using Credit card

then they are equally responsible under section 75

 

 

also, if you purchase on finance

the finance company are equally responsible too

The only ones worth the money are when you buy from a franchised dealer and have it repaired by a franchised dealer and even then you are liable for some of the cost of the repair such as fluids used.
