Hoping someone might have experience or know someone that does buying a JLR extended warranty from a dealership other than where they purchased the vehicle. I know when I bought my BMWs they pushed hard for extended warranties (and I've rarely kept a vehicle past the factory warranty) during the closing sale while completing the documents. However... I had also done my homework and on the bimmerpost forum there were two notable BMW dealers that sold BMW factory extended warranties (country wide...didn't matter what state you were in) way less expensive than what I was being presented with. Like thousands less.. The caveat was if I wanted to pull the trigger on them I had to act before the vehicle reached 20K miles or 24 months. After that, the prices would go up (still not as much as my dealer wanted...).

Is there a JLR dealer in the States that also does this and is it worthwhile (not asking if an extended warranty is worthwhile.. more on the lines did is save significant amount of cash).?

Thanks,

 

So I never normally buy these, we all know there's a LOT of point of sale retail margin on them, but on my F150 Lightning I did because you can get them for $50 over cost from certain dealers and it's literally thousands below retail. I wasn't worried about the battery or EV powertrain, that's already got a long warranty, it's the electronics and screens that will be expensive out of warranty. For less than 50% of retail mine's covered through 2030.

I'd be interested in knowing if any LR dealers do the same as the Ford ESP volume specialist dealers.

As an aside, the only other time I've ever bought an extended warranty on a new car was when we bought our son a new car when he graduated. Again, we bought it from a different dealer than we bought the car from for much less than 50% of retail. It covered him for 9 years, and literally a week before it ran out the navigation touchscreen failed. We took it in, it was fixed for free. The part alone was close to 3x what we paid for the warranty 9 years earlier before you even add on the labor etc. So sometimes these do work out in your favor.

 

I plan on buying my car after lease is up and want to see what options are out there as well...Coming up on 2 years of ownership in another month or so...

 

I just ordered one for March 24 delivery and would also be interested in something similar.

 

I didn't know dealerships discounted extended warrantees differently. At the time of purchase, what was offered was stupid expensive. Now that I've got 45k miles on a 22 month old truck, I wish I had known I could have shopped around. Crossing my fingers that if something is going to break, it does so quickly.

 

I bought a new LR and also the extended warranty from the dealer. My experience was that JLR covered all the problems in years 1-4; and the warranty was 4-8. It sounded good but it didn't really save me money. The LR parts turned out to be very well made, so by the time they were a breaking, it was beyond the 8 year mark. My LR is now 9 years old and running fine. The largest cost I've had was a new turbo. It seemed fairly priced but it was beyond the 8 years of covered warranty. Overall, I'm much happier with a well built LR that didn't need the warranty than a LR with cheap parts and thus using the warranty to replace all the cheap parts. In terms of "dealer" warranty vs. outside warranty, I went with the dealer one, as I figured I'd have more leverage should something break. That way, all the warranty info would be in the dealer computer when I stopped in for repairs.

 

Totally agree with going with a dealer warranty. Great to hear you had solid experience as well.

What I'm trying to find out is if there are JLR dealers that sell a JLR factory extended warranty at a discount. I mentioned that my BMWs I had the opportunity to buy a BMW extended warranty at a huge discount compared to buying it at signing day at the dealership (for the exact same BMW extended warranty plan). Same as @swajames describes buying a factory Ford warranty through a different Ford dealership. Not trying to see if an extended warranty is worthwhile... that's debatable and hundreds of posts both for and against. I'm just trying to find out if I have options for a JLR extended warranty from a different dealership than where I purchased the vehicle.

 

I'm in the market to buy the factory extended warranty on my 2021 110 Dynamic. I would love to know what the best discount someone has been able to get and from which dealership - in southern california if possible. Thx!
