harrycatcat1 Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Has anyone bought a car and used the cazoo warranty? It seems extremely cheap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) As cazoo are a dealer I'm guessing they must offer you your statutory rights, never seen a warranty worth the paper it's written on. Why buy from a dealer and have to pay for the first years warranty. Edited October 18, 2021 by bruno22rf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centrepin Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 "Buy" a warranty. How much? Seems expensive to me when it covers nothing but the paper it's written on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Just a quick scan over their warranty terms - they will not pay disassembly costs, so I guess if your clutch goes they will charge you to strip it down before deciding if the part (plate or thrust bearing) is covered.

I paid 30k for my last car and didn't get a years free warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are covered by the 2015 Consumer Rights Act. A manufacturers warranty is always little more than an add on compared to your legal Rights as a buyer if you buy from a dealer.

Its money in the dealers pocket that's all. Look what's covered, almost nothing that a routine service doesn't pull up. You maybe covered for, maybe a clutch plate or similar but not labour, so you go to where they tell you and labour is twice the price of normal so you end up paying anyway. You need to really look at the fine print of these contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes you wonder if they are as bad as that how they get away with selling them🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
