Hi guys, been looking at the 5 star warranty for my 3.0 GS300 (its 11 years old so I can just about get cover for it!)
http://www.click4warranty.co.uk/
They are saying it will be covered to the glasses guide price of the car?
Thing is.....The car needs new ball joints/suspension parts as it creaks and stuff.
You think I go for it? Its £260 for a year.
Also thinking of getting tyre insurance for 2 years £160 as they cover against punctures for 5 claims of £250 per tyre..... from another site
What are ure opinons on this?

This bit isnt very clear!
Click4Warranty covers both "mechanical breakdown" and "wear & tear", so your Click4Warranty policy WILL pay toward the cost of repairs if a part fails as a result of "wear and tear". Sometimes this means your car is in a better condition than it was before the breakdown. If this is the case we will ask you to pay a contribution toward the cost of repairs. Full details can be found in section 6 of the Terms & Conditions.

waiting on the t and c to download but i suspect you would only be able to claim for a bottom ball joint if it "failed" not just because it had some play in it!

the dealer my mate bought his W reg Clio from gave him a warrenty from these for 12 months
the Alternator broke about 5 months into him owning the car and they gave him a list of garages in our area to get it it changed, he picked one and got it done no questions asked
I was a bit dubious about it but it worked out ok
