I bought my car with a warranty from a dealer... If i could do it again, Id keep the 800 bucks Ive wasted.

go to your local second hand dealer and ask them they should help,my is through AWN and after reading the terms what a waste of time, they dont do much realy sounds good but comes to the crunch and no thankyou.

hey mate you cant really say that you wasted the $800..wat if you did have a problem with the car

true story

i work for a honda dealership and we sold a second hand s2000 to a bloke about 25 years old with the usual used car warranty. A week later he came back sayin the gearbox was making noises. We checked it out and realised second gear was gone. So the box had to be repairs and also needed a new clutch and it cost about 3-4gz in parts and labour which the customer didnt have to pay for because he bought the warranty... so just imagine if you didnt pay for the warranty and something like that happened then you'd be up shit creek...

also read the fine print before signing because there's some dodgy warranty companies out there

But if i have a pre-purcahse inspection and diagnostic done before i buy the car it will tell me if there are any problems with the engine wont it?

As the for the clutch i may have that also looked at to see if its in good condition. And in repsect to the gearbox i hear RB25DET boxes dont break easily, is this true?

i work as a business manager (f&i guy) @ a honda dealership and i can tell you that most insurance companies offering extended warranty's will not offer one on a import ... i have not come across one but i'm sure import dealers have some sort of deal with there brokers to offer one.

all used cars sold at a dealership should come with a 3 month statutorty warranty. if an ext warranty is/ can be purchased that will begin after the statutory one finishes.

4admrm: more than likely the S2000 was covered under a statutory. same dif though.

if you can actually find a company that offers one i would carefully read the PDS to determine if its worth the money......as a lot of used car warranties arn't always great as they have lots of exclusions.

my two cents anyway
