I have copied this from another thread but would really like some advice about losing 2 years of guarantee.
I managed to part resolve the dilemma and am reasonably confident that I have ordered a car that will do 99.9% of what I want it to do. The 2.0 TDI would have done 100% of what I wanted but at a lot more money. We were able to get a feel for the petrol by taking a spin in a Skoda Octavia with the 1.4 TSI rated at 110hp and running on a Gas conversion. We drove it up the steepest hill around and it was not found lacking. So allowing for more weight and more power in the Kodiaq, we think we will be happy. We ordered the base model in Jungle Green, 7 seats and a spare wheel. With the discount, as we were buying in the business name we paid €21,935 or about 19000 GBP. One drawback we discovered is that as it is a business purchase the guarantee is for unlimited km but only valid for 2 years! Whereas buying as a consumer we get 4 years ! Do you think I should be concerned by this as I can still make the contract in my own name, losing the tax deduction in may accounts. If I do put the car in my own name I can then take advantage of cheaper car insurance because I have 15 years no claims here whereas the business policy will start a 0. Thoughts?
