I just read Vauxhall are to put a 10yr 100,000 mile warranty on its new cars, Kia give a 7yr warranty & Hyundai give 5yrs wonder if Land Rover will follow suit  If I had all the money I spent on Beer!, I'd spend it on Beer!.

Maybe all those in a recent poll who voted for the Kia will now be thinking about the Vauxhall Antara.

10yr it was advertised as lifetime warranty for the 1st owner  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

As a long term Vauxhall enthusiast, yes it is looking like this could be happening. 10 years warranty is being looked at.

To be honest, you don't want to knock Vauxhall these days. As well as the FL2, I have a Vauxhall Insignia and the build quality is far better than the FL2! Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

I think they have announced it MAV, but build quality may be good on the Insignia but the Antara?
Mind you Mcphers may be giving them a look as he has gone off the Sorento.

I have seen the advert in this mornings paper 100,000 mile /lifetime for 1st owner warranty.
Now correct me if I'm wrong but I have been led to believe that most Vauxhalls have 2 types of owners.

1) The fleet purchaser New > 2 or 3 Yrs
2) The middle age/family man who buys one second hand because they are dirt cheep because they have been a fleet car.

So neither of them will test out the extended warranty

Granted the Insignia is far better than the Antara, but the Antara is not that bad build quality wise, it just has a Korean engine. Although it's a 2.0 CDTi, it's not the same as the Astra/Insignia 2.0 CDTi engine. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather.

This will also affect "pre registered" cars. A % of dealer special offers are first registered in dealers name and sold with delivery mileage at a good discount.
This is more common just before a new or facelift model is due.
The way I read this means these cars will not count for 10 year warranty.
Wonder what Ford will do to compete?
Toyota now with 5year warranty on vehicle.

Knowing LR money making tricks if they extend to 5 year they will up the price of new car by price of 2 year extended warranty.

You get nothing for nothing in the motor trade.

Vauxhall will have to start designing and screwing there cars together better...we took an insignia apart at uni a couple of months back doing some facelift work on it and it pretty much falls apart in your hands!
