Forhod Clutched April 8, 2011 Share April 8, 2011 Just a word of advice to TS when shopping for 159s, try to look out those that are still under the 5 years warranty programme with free service with EA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count_duku 4th Gear April 8, 2011 Share April 8, 2011 I got an used Audi S3 manual.... still prefer a stick shift Wah .. nice, I was always eying the S3 2-door hatch (not the Sportsback) .. very understated, with chrome mirrors and all. I would haven chosen manual over the S-tronic DSG thingy also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fella Neutral Newbie April 13, 2011 Author Share April 13, 2011 haha.. but EA say the 5 yr 100k warranty doesnt apply to 2nd owner onwards. Noticed there's a thread on this in AROC but it dies off 3 months ago with no conclusive findings? Anyway, spotted a black 159 last evening at Tampines St 44. NICE!

Darryn Turbocharged April 13, 2011 Share April 13, 2011 haha.. but EA say the 5 yr 100k warranty doesnt apply to 2nd owner onwards. Hmm..I dunno for sure, but I would be a bit surprised if that were the case. It doesn't quite seem logical - unless it was only the free servicing that expired and not the warranty itself. Or maybe it was for a particular car due to warranty conditions not being met? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryh 3rd Gear April 13, 2011 Share April 13, 2011 It was confirmed by Kimi when she went for her last servicing couple of weeks back.

FromA2B Neutral Newbie April 13, 2011 Share April 13, 2011 mmm...the car is under warranty, not the driver......cannot understand why the warranty does not apply to second (or subsequent) owner... is this the norm for other brands as well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fella Neutral Newbie April 13, 2011 Author Share April 13, 2011 It was confirmed by Kimi when she went for her last servicing couple of weeks back. I think the main reason for going back for servicing is the warranty issue. If it's void and null for subsequent owners, I figure there's no reason patronising them instead of 3rd party workshops then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does this mean? If car is still under warranty, but not me as the second driver, how am I going to claim for anything? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryn Turbocharged April 13, 2011 Share April 13, 2011 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.

Yappiez Neutral Newbie April 13, 2011 Share April 13, 2011 Ahh... so all the sgcarmart advertised used cars all will be honoured to 60k despite what it claims... phew.. nearly fell for it.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OR three years, whichever comes first - but I must say, if you are owning an Alfa and driving it so little then I think there's something wrong ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
