Something i've wanted to see in a list format for a while.

Service plan and warranty km and duration for all manufacturers.

I'm in a boat now where I wanna sell my Audi for something else, really want an Amarok, but VW is stupid with only still sticking to their 3yr warranty duration. Where I can buy a ranger and have 4 years.... or a navara and have 6 years...

Will definitely be helpful to have this info, some manufactures have specific warranties/service/maintenance plans for a car, so the list will be extensive. Example: VW gives a 5-year / 90,000 km Service Plan for a Amarok, but a 5-year / 100 000km Maintenance Plan for the Touareg. Suppose you expect one after spending a bar.

Yup, sadly VW has a poor warranty. BMW is worse, 2 years :crazy:
Although the BMW maintenance plan pays everything, I've tested it's limits with our BMW.

Same like Audi only has a 1 year warranty, but a 5 year freeway plan.

What the list needs to show really is how long is the owner covered for if something does break.

Service plan doesn't mean jack, as if the motor goes POEF on an amarok at year 4 and 80,000km, VW will give you the bill, but if you drive a Navara, then theres still a warranty in place.
