Network Q query

old_cruiser

Anyone know the criteria for a network Q car i.e what the age limit a car can be to be Network Q approved; reason for asking is that a Vx dealer I'm in the process of dealing with is telling me that the car I'm purchasing is over three years old (dec' 2003 model) and is hence known only as an ' Approved ' and not Network Q car and will only come with 6 months AA warranty, although it will apparently go through the same procedure as a Network Q vehicle would go through, just feel I could be getting ripped off here with the warranty side of things!

Should get a full 12 month warranty. Dont thin you get roadside though.

Every Network Q car comes with a comprehensive Network Q guarantee
Your car is covered for 12 months / 20,000 miles – whichever is sooner
Your Network Q Guarantee begins as soon as you drive your car away from your Network Q dealer.

Comprehensive cover as standard
Your Network Q Guarantee provides you with comprehensive cover for all mechanical and electrical components for a full 12 months / 20,000 miles – whichever is sooner. We even cover your brakes, battery and clutch for 12 months - another first from Network Q.

What's not covered

Bodywork
All bodywork and body trim, glass, paint, sheet metal, sunroof panels, water ingress and door seals.

Service Items
Service items, including but not limited to oil filters, lubricants, points, spark plugs, fuses, wiper blades, tyres, bulbs, auxillary drive belts, rotor arms, condensers, exhaust systems (but catalytic converters are covered), anti-freeze and other fluids – unless the replacements are required because of a failure of a covered component.

Miscellaneous

Modifications
Modifications that are made to the vehicle by the customer after the delivery date of the vehicle.

Had a bit of a result today, spoke to the sales manager at the dealership and explained that I wasn't happy about the fact that the car was advertised as a network Q car suggested to him in a fairly polite manner!! that it would be a good idea to supply it with a network Q warranty due to advertising and all that !! and has agreed to it, so a bit happier about the sale now , oh and got them to throw in 6 months tax in the process.
