Used Land Rover extended warranty shake up !
According to this weeks Auto Express, LR are changing their extended warranty back-up on used vehicles from 5 years \ 60,000 miles to 7 years \ 100,000 miles.
This should offer some confidence to those purchasing used D3's ...might even raise residuals slightly?21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

with more exclusions ?
end of an era ....... maybe a Defender when it appears.......
Yes, I read this too.
It could help residuals but the whole 4x4 market is taking a bit of a nose dive at the moment due to Gordon Brown and the 'gas gussler' press. I've been speaking to many car traders over the last two weeks and many have commented on the slow down in demand for 4x4s and prices are dropping.
It's all a load of b***ocks, as the new tax hike this year only applies to new and 1 year old cars, but this hasn't been reported much by the press. Also, another £100 this year and another £100 next year is only 3 tanks of fuel!Matt

All of this suggests to me that I might be handing mine back and walking away at the 3 year mark...
I'm trying to not take any notice of second hand D3 prices
But hey, so what, lets make hay while the sun shines eh?Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

Wonder what price they'll quote me if I get the 5years cover up to 100k which is about right I think for what I'll cover in 5 years. Then I can hand it to SWMBO who will cover about 6k/year......Bodsys Brake Bible

I see your point BM

I saw one somewhere in Europe that really looked quite nice and softly blingy. Did get me thinking.... But then I have a reputation to tarnish........Bodsys Brake Bible
