Waranty or no warranty.

Eduardo · 07-09-2011, 10:25 AM

Hi all,

I know it could be a hard one to answer but got quoted £67/month on a £250 exess. £87 no exess.

Looking to use the car for few track days and runs to the lakes. The car as 38000 + miles.

I owned a Mustang 2005 supercharged that i played around with and Viper and i wouldn't have bothered with it as i knew they where very much bullet proof.

I have seen in this forum, changed Diff, changed engine, changed gear, funny vanos

.

How reliable are these cars and should i defenetly go for one with 38000 miles.

Thanks.

Eduardo.

Keep it - especially if you intend to track the car.

Oh, and keep it on the monthly payments too!

i think its worth it for piece of mind. ive gone for zero excess this time at £80 a month. last year i had power steering pipes a diff and a couple of seals replaced. this year so far just a pair of springs. mines on 54k and use it very little at the mo + its better to have it come resale.

I would definitely say renew the BMW warranty.

Having owned a E46 M3 with BMW warranty and now the CSL without warranty, i've learnt my lesson on that one as the warranty would have saved me over £3k this year.

Thanks guys

The car doesn't have a warranty at the moment but will defenetly put my mind a rest.

Sounds interesting. Just worried that when things go wrong with the CSL we are talking £2000 +.

But I guess if the £2000 are covered its not bad for the amount.

Eduardo.

Let me know if you go through with it, looking for warranty too.

Eduardo.

Don't waste your money, it appears to be breakdown cover not a warranty.
