[QUOTE="Troller, post: 1450690, member: 12500"] Which car brands? General rule is 3 years warranty and 5 year courtesy. BMW will make a discount until the 5th year. Cars are made obsolescent by the time they reach 100k km or on their 5th year anniversary. The main reason for this is tax related. Bmw and Mercedes know leasings of companies last between 3-5 years. And for tax reasons companies afterward change car. So for them it doesnt make sense to create longer quality cara because due to leasing and tax reasons companies dont care. You can extend 3-4 years from normal warranty as long as it falls to the 100k kms or 5 year rule. If a car breaks down during warranty why wouldnt people claim it? In electronics percentage might drop. But in a car? Youre wrong. Most people would. I think Toyota success was partially due to giving a bigger warranty. Ferrari has some 15 year warranty. But its not straightforward. [/QUOTE]
