Hi Folks,

I have been lurking around this board as a interested bystander for a week or two now but have now (literally hours ago) joined the world of S2000 ownership.....mighty impressed so far!

My question is, do any of the members have an aftermarket warranty (from Warranty direct etc?). I have just spent the best part of 15k on an 53 plate(20k) and am considering some protection from mechanical failure (not that I think it likely, but you never know!).

Thoughts most appreciated.

Should also say I had a warramty quote (transmission & engine)

Dont waste your time or money, they are not worth the paper they are written on. Every claim they get out of somehow. Trust me, i know!!

You are better off putting money aside each month into a car emergency fund.

Fact.

But Davey2 will be along shortly to tell you that they did, once, pay out on a claim

No, not at all, I am just watching for now - I am busy at work.

I had a new engine under the honda extended warranty.

I think that bust the warranty company

Stand by for the next few pages of good and bad dealings with any form of warranty company.

In the meantime if you want to know how they all work pm me a contact number and I will provide you with impartial advise of third party warranty providors.

How can someone that sells Honda warranties give impartial advice?

The one thing I will say in the Honda warranty favour is that it is very cheap compared to other manufacturers and offers a reasonable amount of peace of mind for relatively little cash. Buy a 3 year and it works out less than

Because the OP was after peoples experience of after-market warranties and I know alot about them - perhaps more than many people on this forum.

Thanks guys...think I will go down the route of putting something aside each month. At least then if nothing goes wrong I can go on holiday
