On the subject of warranties

[costelj]

Have any of you purchased an extended warranty with your LR4? I am considering a 6 year / 100K extended.

And are there any gotchas with the standard warranty (anything you were surprised to find out wasn't covered)?


Thanks. I have reached the "think about the warranty" stage, so I am getting close.

Third party warranties are notoriously vague, and LR factory backed extended warranties don't exist, as far as I know. Make sure whatever warranty you get is "exclusionary", i.e. it clearly spells out what is NOT covered

I went with the CPO 6yr/100k warranty from LR

I didn't know this was possible. You bought it from the LR dealer? AND it's an LR warrant?

My parents bought one for their RRS from their LR dealer when new in 2007 and are just about to come to its end...just replaced both diffs, transfer case, and air compressor in the last three weeks (43k miles)..well worth the money, but they had a "good salesperson" who told them no BS and got them a good package..not sure who its underwritten by but LR of Naples takes it and has done all the last work for $100 out of pocket.

If you buy a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle from a Land Rover dealer, it includes a 6-year / 100K miles limited warranty. You can't tack that extended coverage on a new vehicle, however.

From my understanding, used vehicles that pass the 150 point CPO test are selected, but when you go to close it's an extra $2,000 for the actual warranty. It was like that at all 3 dealers we went to.

That may very well be. My point was that you can't get that extended, 6y/100k coverage on a vehicle you purchased as new, it's only available on a CPO.

I remember a post about this a while back - wasn't there an extended warranty people really liked that was actually through Ford or something?

Yeah, I recall reading that as well.
