VW Extended Warranty - is it worth it?
I have been offered a VW "Extended Warranty" for my soon-to-be 3 year old Golf 2.0 TDI Sport. Comprehensive cover with roadside assistance and an excess of £250 costs £254 for one year. Is this worth taking out? The car must be dealer serviced for the warranty/insurance to be valid.

So you have to pay the first £250 of any claim? Doesn't read like a good deal to me.
