How to get the most from a car warranty?

Leave your morals here.

As an example of what I'm asking, I'll draw a comparison from the world of mobile phones - if you have a month left on your iphone warranty you take it back to your operator and say "oh the screen flickers after an hour or two of usage" and they send it away for you. 9 times out of ten you get a refurb which is next to new. Result.

I don't want a nearly new car, but my warranty is due to end soon, so what sort of thing could I complain about and get replaced at no cost which would save me a bother in a years time?

Hi
you could complain about anything, here is the issue they have had you and your car for sometime and they know how much and how fussy you are so it has to get passed the garage owner who may be on your side. The warranty is with a finance company who will want both photographic evidence that something is wrong with assurances from the motor trader that this item is within the agreed warranty agreement. So engines, gearboxes, water pumps brake units and steering components are the usual suspects covered by a warranty. Not exhaust pipes or silencers and not hoses and tyres as these are subject to wear and tear.

No chance - unless the claim is proven then they will not pay for it, these people aren't daft. There's nothing on a car that can go like that.

Wow! You're seriously naive, aren't you?

  • Where do I go to get the most choices for ringtones? I have an Iphone 4. I want to download a specific ringtone to my phone but it might be hard to find. What are some of the best, most awesome ringtone sites I can download from, free or I'll pay 99 cents, whatever.
  • Where can I get the most money for my iPhone 4? I have an iPhone 4 16 GB that is in next to perfect condition. It has some scratches, but not too many. Anyone know where I can get the best offer? I prefer cash, but if I have to, I will go with store credit.
  • What is the best speaker for a car? And MP3/CD Deck for a car? Eventually when I get my main car, I want to get great speakers for my car. I know BestBuy sells most of the speakers for cars. But i'm wondering what good speakers for cars are. Not the brand but what the Best Features are for car speakers. I would also need to get a iPod/iPhone-Ready CD Deck, so I also need to know good brands and features for that.
  • How to charge my iPhone in my car without an actual car charger? I'm going on a long road trip. Since the iPhone battery doesn't usually last long, i was wondering if there's another way to charge my phone without a car charger. Because my lighter doesn't work due to a broke fuse in my fuse box… Anyway- is there any alternative to keeping my phone charged?
