Used car warranty

[northernladuk]

+1, The ones I have seen only covered for parts you have to cover the labour, (clutch and a flywheel on a focus the labours more than the parts) either just pay your money and take your chances or buy from a main agent who have a reputation to look after

Clutch tends to be a consumable so unless it's a major failure then it won't be covered... and even if it exploded you'd be on a sticky wicket.

The devil is most definitely in the detail. I bought a car from Evan Halshaw once and they lump in a three month warranty on their second hand cars 'for free' <sigh>... but anyway, window mechanism failed shattering the window a week later and one of the horns on the dual horn wasn't working. They took it in, fixed it all and handed it me back without question. Lent me one of the demonstrator cars as well. Can't fault it. Would Joe Bloggs use Auto's have done that? I very much doubt it.

I had arm muscles like Charles Atlas since it didn't have power steering.

That's got nothing to do with a lack of power steering

Best bet to buy a Kia? Worst car I've ever driven and I've (and I'm really confessing here) owned a Rover 100.

Hyundai or Kia? Same thing apart from the badges. From what you wrote, I suspect your experience is not so recent. Buy a two year old Kia Sportage and still have 5 years warranty, what's not to like?
