LR Branded Extended Warranty Experience?
My 2020 110S has about a month and 10K miles left on the factory warranty. I thoroughly enjoy the car, and can reasonably plan to keep it for another three years. While I purchased it used, already under warranty I've had the rear differential replaced, the telematics replaced, and some various wiring harnesses that cracked. Suffice it to say that any one of those out-of-pocket would have hurt.
The dealer I use and really like is offering the LR-Branded Vehicle Service Protection Plan (Platinum) for ~$6,000 up to 7 years/75K miles with a $500 deductible. Safe-Guard administers it, clearly listed in the opening section. No maximum payouts or labor charge limitations (many have those I've learned have them, and I live in an area where good shops increasingly charge $200/hour) and the exclusions are better than most. Of course, it's not a maintenance plan so that's still something to cover.
I'm generally not a fan of extended warranties, but I'm an LR realist who has owned two Range Rovers. I know that a relatively minor fix can pretty easily eclipse this amount (my recent visit for the telematics and wiring had a total charge of $2,800, again covered thankfully under the existing warranty, and I think the total for the rear diff was over $10,000).
I'm just curious if anyone has had experience with the LR-branded VSP product in the last few years. I called a couple of other dealers, and their quotes were higher for the same product. Also, I would have the benefit of my deal providing service loans free if you have this coverage during repairs.
Previous regret: I used to have an X5, and months after the CPO warranty expired the rear seat heaters stopped working (quoted $1,800 to replace, skipped that one) and the rear airbag failed, which damaged the compressor and the other airbag. That was a ~$5,000 repair in 2019. I skipped the extended BMW warranty, which I recall was a few thousand.
