Could someone please advise....
I'm gonna buy a used car very soon as our family wagon is on its last legs, plus we need a bigger car. But do i take out the dealerships extended warranty? Its with/through the RAC. not some company that nobody has heard of.

My RAC warranty was no use when I needed it as dual mass flywheels were classed as consumable, and RAC brand it, it is not an RAC warranty as such (can't remember the name of the company that actually provides it).

IMHO, a waste of money.

Thanks guys, I found 18 reviews of one particular warranty company used by a local car trader all gave 1 out of 5 stars.
Seems like a total waste of money then. Save it for the first service.
