broke Donating Members 229 Member For: 13y 8m 10d Gender: Male Posted 12/05/12 12:57 PM Share Posted 12/05/12 12:57 PM I purchased my car privately a couple of months ago now, and upon going through all the paperwork (did briefly before buying) I notice that my car still has 2 years of dealer warranty left. the problem is it's for Sunshine Ford down on the coast and I live up in Townsville. I will attempt to contact them in regards to this on Monday, but im gathering from what the booklet says it's basically void if I dont get it serviced down there (obviously impossible) has anyone had any luck getting other dealerships to honour this stuff or should I just bury it with the rest of the paperwork and not even waste my time?thoughts would be great Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80136-dealer-extended-warranties/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 12/05/12 08:10 PM Share Posted 12/05/12 08:10 PM Dealers don't do warranty.It's FG yeah, so it's under Ford warranty. unless it's an early 09 now. Mine just ran out.Or there is the warranty that dealers sell that is an extended warranty ovber the Ford one which dies not commence till the Ford one runs out.Either way you are covered nationaly under warranty for your car.Your obligation is to havve that car serviced on time or early at an autherised mechanical WORKSHOP. It's not the mechanic ok. Your mate can be head of the Ferrari engeneering crew and he is not accetpable. It's the workshop. That way a first year can service your car.Sorry ranting but that's what the federal law states Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80136-dealer-extended-warranties/#findComment-1236261 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get to pay about ten percent of the purchase price getting stuff done you could have done yourself Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80136-dealer-extended-warranties/#findComment-1236266 Share on other sites More sharing options...
