Risk action

I found a Honda Legend today with one owner and 21k miles at a very reasonable price. Warranty Direct were excellent at providing extended warranty cover (I'll know the true value if and when I need to claim), in the mean time I can hopefully enjoy the impeccable build quality, reliability and service from Honda. I know you recommend Warranty Direct, and they certainly have so far delivered excellent advice and service, offering a comprehensive annual warranty for £350. At a time of rising insurance and 'rip-off’ perceptions, I feel that this represents good value in the mitigation of risk.

The cost of a WD warranty is directly related to WD's claims stats of frequency and cost, so £350 for a Legend gives a strong impression that, despite the complexity, they hardly ever go wrong.
