5 Years Servicing

jas72 · 1st December 2007, 08:27

Anyone gone for this package

What's a good price to pay for it

I've had some problems with my dealer and I intend to ask for a good discount on this package.

My wife says I intend to keep this car for the duration

so it could save me some money, couldn't it

Anyone got any recommendation

I bought the service package. It cost £500 and covers you for 60,000 miles or 5 years whichever comes first. It doesn't cover wear and tear parts like brake pads / disks. However it seemed pretty good value to me if you look at what is covered in the service schedule.

I was told you can pass this on to a buyer if you decide to sell your car.

Good luck getting a discount.

I got the service package £500 which is good value if you are keeping the car for longer than 3 years which is roughly the breakeven point

I just got the 3 year service package from my dealer for £399
For some reason, diesel is more expensive to service

£399 still isn't bad though for three years servicing, it's less than £140 per service.

Absolutely right.
But why does standard servicing cost more on a diesel?

I don't know. Ask to see a worksheet for both a petrol and diesel 12,000 mile service. See if there is much difference.

The diesel sump needs almost 6 litres of oil, the petrol just over 4 litres I think, and as the oil is quite expensive it makes a lot of difference.....supposedly!
But the diesel has no spark plugs to replace!

The 5 year equivalent for a diesel was £950, compard to a list price of £1150, but it is a lot of money to come up with all at once, so I suspect most diesel owners like me will not bother.

I've bought it for mine too, after the dealer initially telling me you couldn't have it on a Type R! A few months after being told this, they send me a letter offering it!

I got it - cost £500 seemed a good deal especially as I have found a dealer that will put in 0-30 edge oil on first service due next week for no extra cost
