OK have got clarification.

 

The standard warranty for Alfa is 3 years 60,000

 

The 5 years / 100,000 is a "local" adddition to build confidence and as a sales promotion come protection of investment.

 

If you are the second (or subsequent) owner you still enjoy the standard 3 yr / 60,000 manufaccturer warranty. However you won't get the additional two years, as this follow the first owner.

 

lol...still does not make sense to me.....but then if the T&C stated clearly then guess that is it. Good info, when I get my ride, will definitely look out for that...:)

I've read abt subsequent owners not informing EA abt the change of ownership. Seriously I dun think they will ask to see your IC to confirm who you are when you need to claim warranty right? Even if they should, does that mean 1st owners CANNOT get your relatives to send in the car on your behalf due to other commitments? [;)]

Well when nothing happen, they wont bother.

But when something happen, you can be damned sure they will check on it. [:|][:|]

It's NOT STATED ANYWHERE in the T&C.

 

It's a COMPANY POLICY that they do have have to disclose it in Black & White

i loved them for bringing in Alfa cars.... [inlove]

and hate them for every other things... [rifle]

 

My servicing and warranthy status are in a myst....

cuz they waived off everything for my last servicing, after me kicking a freaking big fuss...

 

if i have to do that EVERYTIME, frankly, i'd rather forgo the warranthy & servicing [mad]

Welcome

 

I did an engineering approach the first few tanks

 

Manual

Auto

Manual + Sports

Auto + Sports

not much diff FC wise I must say

 

 

end up always manual

auto always downshift early for me

v irritating

but auto sounds the best. lol

 

sports is good for rainy days due to lesser free play (don't need to rev so much to cover up)
