Nissan Extended Warranty Prices?

[ANDYR35]

Even modified it is pretty robust. The fault lies with the bellhousing being the weak point no matter if the car is modified or not, did you bring that to his attention?

And standard cars have been denied warranty claims when engines have gone bang so he is incorrect nd he knows that car I am referring to

Summarised.......

If my car was coming up 3 years old now that response would make me do two things.

1. Not buy a warranty from them. Maybe look at an aftermarket one. Save £££.
2. Not visit a Nissan garage anymore, trusted independents only. Save £££.

It's almost like they want owners of three year old cars to cough up a hell of a lot of money or go away.
Disappointing IMO.

Probably cheaper to get shafted on the Nissan warranty.

As much as I'd love to have a new one, the cost difference currently is around £30k to trade up from my MY10 to a MY12.
To me that's another house deposit, increased my income, not upgrading a car by two years.

No doubt it is a performance bargain, but £75k is not car money to me. Particularly not for one that does low miles and is made buy a company that squeezes it's customers for every penny it can once you've bought it.

This has been my first Nissan and while it's a great car, I really don't think I could give them all that money knowing the service I'll get afterwards.

Hi Guys, I don't know how much further I'll get with this. This is also my first Nissan and I'm very disappointed by NMGB, even if the product itself is fan-bloody-tastic.

My latest response to James below.

Hi James,

Many thanks for taking the time to reply and supplying the warranty information. Unfortunately I dissatisfied with the response.

Your response missed the crux of my complaint, namely the timeliness of Nissan's publishing of the warranty terms and conditions. Although warranties are not a FSA regulated product, I would have expected Nissan to adhere to much higher standards of informing your customers of their choices and having clearly stated policy facts long before this. I can imagine there are customer cars whose original warranties expired before these were issued. Why did this take so long?

Re: Price Point. Your argument seems to be counter intuitive. You state the car is robust therefore prices should be commensurate with a vehicle that doesn't go wrong, however your forecast doesn't substantiate this and GT-R owners are facing the most punitive warranty rates that I'm aware of. I have been informed of least two independent warranty schemes with seemingly identical terms and conditions around the £1k price mark. How is it possible that Nissan's own warranty is 2.5 times the price?

I think you may have misunderstood my point regarding WLMG. Their service has been excellent, however they seemed to be struggling with a lack of clear direction and information from NMGB. I feel it would be unfair to take the WLMG directors to task on a point they had little control over.

I look forward to your response.

Thanks for the effort you've put in, much appreciated. I may well write my own letter of complaint, just so you're not a lone voice. Having said that I'm currently debating selling up.

[Frosty]

I'd just like to say well done to smifffy for doing the leg work on an issue that is applicable to many GT-R owners who will exit the standard warranty period this year. I'll keep a very close eye on this thread.

+1 I think most on here appreciate the effort he has put in to get this far, thanks SC.
