So I’m looking at getting an 18 car which means warranty is up next year. A lot of these third-party companies won’t insure the car unless there’s certain criteria like if it’s under a certain amount of mileage or if it has X amount of miles left on the factory warranty. One I came across is called performance first. Anyone have purchased third party warranty have recommendations? I don’t want to be in a situation where something is excluded.

 

I don't buy extended warranty on anything. Depending on what your buying and the cost of coverage. They usually don't cover things and your paying regardless. Buyer beware from any type of insurance.

 

I had them send me all exclusions. From JMNA (through Fidelity)

 

Review the history of the car, then if your happy with that put your $$ into a top notch extensive independent PPI with your expectations set with the qualified inspector. Be there as it's being done with your list of researched questions. Your paying up front prior to your purchase for the comfort level you need. Cars always need something. I've had mine for 10 years, still get a smile out of every Quicksilver start-up! Just ordered new tires. I've heard nothing but issues with 3rd party warranty companies. Allot of people have difficulty with factory warranties. ALL of them have fine print!

 

What are they charging for the warranty?
Have you considered the Aston Martin extended warranty?
Thanks,

I've always gone with the Aston Martin extended warranties - expensive, but what I've paid was less than what I would have without. I currently have an 11 year old Vantage - my first without a warranty since owning Vantages since 2007.

 

You've just listed all the common problems with these cars, front and rear LEDs, clutch, battery seems to cover about 90% of the problems people have with these cars, and they are all excluded.

I bought my car new 11 years ago, I've spent less than £2000 on repairs in that time, as I always say, I've saved well over £10,000 on warranty costs, but can't find where I put that money.

Often when you see people with warranties that have saved huge bills, they aren't completely realistic, so when your taillight LEDs fail, the warranty option would be to spend over £2,000 replacing them, but most people would get them repaired for about £500 for the pair.

 

On my 2012 V12 Vantage, Aston replaced my engine, clutch, anti-freeze, AC refrigerant, and wheel alignment at no charge and with no hassle.
Well worth the investment for me.
Thanks,
