I presented all arguments against , choice is yours. Dont take it from me. Ask 24/36 vs 48 months question on Pistonheads and see what they say. Last edited by ciscopete822; 01-13-2019 at 10:55 AM.. |

Surprised Kia are still getting away with calling it 7 years - ask any dealer and they will tell you after 3 years the approval process is 'can we put it to wear and tear - if so refuse claim' |

Anyway as I said to Alex, I was not debating Kia’s warranty, which btw is better than BMWs, but the stupid claim that keeping a car for more than 3 years is a massive risk, which it isn’t. |

I have only said it is not a massive risk owning a car beyond 3 years. How hard can you make this? As for the KIA, getting alloys replaced FOC has not been any risk. It was a very easy and painless task. In fact it’s been less risk than my bmw which has also had diamond cut alloys replaced every year under warranty but won’t next year. |

You don't think a warranty claim every single year after three years is a big risk if you don't have a warranty in place? It proves things can easily go wrong, and surely you can't always guarantee it's going to be the the small stuff? Warranty companies charge what they charge for extended warranties based on claim history and experience, and then add their profit to it. So £700 for a warranty might equal £500 average claims per customer. As quite a few will have zero, it means that there are other much bigger bills coming in. In my book, and all the warranty companies out there, that makes it a risk. In your book it doesn't. I'll take their experience over yours thanks. And using your own tone to another poster, what has the ease of your claims with Kia got to do with the risk of going over 3 years without a warranty? |

I don't insure for anything I could afford to fix or replace without too much pain. Never paid insurance on electrical goods, and never bought all the extra cover offered when buying a car, dents, tyres etc. But, I do buy insurance for things that would impact my lifestyle, or my families, if the worst was to happen. And a big out of warranty repair on a car would do just that. It can be, and often is in the thousands for some repairs. You are welcome to have your opinion that it's not a "massive" risk. That is up to you. I'm entitled, as are others, to decide for themselves how big they think that risk is. Unless you think the warranty companies are out there making huge profits, the numbers prove that there is at least a reasonable risk involved. I avoid having to make the decision about wasted money, or good value, on an extended warranty, by getting my car on a pcp, not a lease and changing before the warranty runs out. Costs me nothing extra, as leases for the high miles that I do are generally less competitive anyway. 10,000 mile pa leases are good value, 25,000 not so good. |

I said I was looking both 36 and 48 months, and I just said I didn't think a 4th year was a big risk, but agreed it was a risk all the same... Your point is taken |

I think everybody is right in what they're saying, even Alice, just saying it in different ways.
The risk of something big happening is reasonably small. But if it did happen, the penalty could be really high. Everyone's take on what they want to do with that is up to them. As said, personally I avoid having to make the choice by never going past the end of the warranty, which I think is the point Pete was making too. |

This forum can be very useful and fun, but there always seems to be a point in a thread where someone is right, if you don't agree you must be a moron and then results in childish name calling. Or talking down to people.
Debate is rarely productive on here, which is a shame. |

Methinks you were deep into your cups when you posted. Hope you slept well. BTW, my comments on the Stinger should have been regarded as a generous review of their first attempt, I'm not knocking them. Q
