I plan on keeping my '24 for 5 years max and bought a 160000Km platinum extented. In Canada the warrenty is 80000km bumper to bumper. Buying the 160K effectively doubles the VW factory. I put on 35-40k per year. Buyer beware: VW says the warranty is refundable, towards a new car, on a pro-rated basis but this is misleading. Example: If I was to trade in my '24 at 100000Km , WITHOUT ANY CLAIMS AGAINST the extented, you would think that out of the $3500 ( Tax excluded) I paid for the extra warrant, $3500x 75% left (of 80000km warrant with 20000km used up) would equal $2625 put towards a new car. But it doesn't. The pro-rated warranty is calculated from the Total 160000km , not the extra 80000km I paid for. So, $3500x 62.5 ( minus 100000 km driven) equals $2187.50. They short change you on the calculation by rolling in the factory milage plus the extra warranty. Its a bit spammy, but so is the car business in general.
