So I purchased an extended 3 year warranty when I bought my car from Eden, to be honest it was thrown in as part of the package (don't be afraid to walk away) but would have cost £499. No doubt I paid for it in the inflated cost of the car so swings and roundabouts I guess.
I drive my car everyday for work, was doing around 55 miles a day, now doing 25. Mostly motorway.
I had the dreaded drivers heated seat problems covered here, which I didn't pick-up (or even know about..who would) when I bought the car: https://www.vxoc.org.uk/forum/Thread-HOW...ER-ASTRA-J
Warranty covered it, I saw the bill for this, it would have cost me £420.
I also just had both my rear springs fail after a trip on the motorway, luckily it waited until I had pulled up at home and I heard this loud "PING". Took it to the garage, one was obviously failed, then they did a safety check and found the other had failed as well. The car has only done 50,000 miles (2011 2.0 cdti ecoflex). The warranty covered these springs with no problem, which I am glad because springs should not fail after that many miles.
The bill for this would have been just shy of £150 at a guess including labour (didn't see this one)
So for me the extended warranty has already paid for itself, It runs out the end of next year so plenty of cover left for anything else that decides to go wrong.
I know lots of people have problems with Eden, for me its been absolutely fine so far and I wouldn't think twice about getting a warranty from them again. Lets hope I continue to say this by the time it ends.
