| 860639 | 2010-02-22 21:09:00 | OK. Let's come back to the subject (just for a while). Is it worthwhile to purchase a Mechanical Warranty Insurance even when an AA pre-purchase check reported OK? Notice that the MWI requires you to have your car fully serviced by an approved workshop like the AA service every xxxx kms. |

| 860640 | 2010-02-22 21:31:00 | If the AA have done a check on it and said everything's fine then everything should be fine. They are usually pretty tough on their checks. The MWI sounds like buying an extended warranty at HN. | --Wolf-- (128) | ||

The MWI sounds like buying an extended warranty at HN. That's my thought to - AA botched a check on a bluebird I bought, got a free clutch out of it. Definitely worth getting an AA check. |

| 860642 | 2010-02-22 23:16:00 | Wouldn't trust the AA checks for a dime, based on the experience I wrote of in the other thread. Mechanical warranty is always a good idea. 1k for piece of mind is worth it, IMO. But you gotta look at the fine print. Wear and tear isn't covered. |

And not something you have to do. It just has to be an MTA assured place. Pit stops charge 80$ odd for a service. Which isn't too bad, considering the oil filter will set you back 10-20 and oil around $50 + getting your hands dirty. So it ain't too bad. |

| 860644 | 2010-02-23 00:40:00 | Another question: As indicated in link re Toyota Corolla Runx , it's a 2002 model with only 52K, do you guys think that there's something not quite right with such a low mileage done, considering it's 8 years old? The odometer is AA certified, so I assume that it is genuine. |

| 860645 | 2010-02-23 01:08:00 | Probaly a nanas car used to go to church on Sundays. Not exactly the best car to buy because nanas dont rev them up they get a lip on the cylinder bore. When you hoon them the xtra revs stretch the piston a bit more and the rings clang into the ridge and start breaking Check wear on pedal rubbers The silly name runx would hold me back from buying it. |
