Volkswagen lists extended warranty plans

Thank to Distinguished BHPian vb-san for sharing this information.

Volkswagen Group Sales India Private Limited, a subsidiary of German auto giant Volkswagen Group, has published on its website, a sheet showing prices for extended warranty packages for all their models.

All Volkswagen cars are covered by a 2 year, unlimited kilometre manufacturer warranty. Owners can opt for one of two packages for the extension of this warranty. The first package sees the warranty extended by 1 year or 80,000 km whichever comes earlier. The second package gives owners an extension of two years or 1,00,000 km, whichever comes earlier.

The sheet shows the prices for the extended warranty packages on all the models that Volkswagen is offering them on.

Some observations made:

• The extended warranty packages can be bought based on three slabs depending on the date of sale of the car: 1. 0-365 days, 2. 366-545 days and 3. 546-730 days.
• The price of the extended warranty packages depend on the above slabs, being lowest for cars sold in the 0-365 days period and highest for cars sold in the 546-730 days period.
• The Jetta finally gets extended warranty. However, at Rs. 55,000 for the 2 year package for cars that are between 546 and 730 days old (year 2012 cars), it is very steeply priced.
• Service tax @ 12.36% will be charged additionally or as applicable.

Apart from the extended warranty, Volkswagen customers can avail of a 3 year warranty against paintwork defects. There is also an anti-corrosion warranty that can extend up to 12 years.
