I bought my Volvo VIP Gold warranty on 12/31/2020 as my factory warranty on my 2017 Volvo XC90 t6 Momentum Plus was expiring. I paid $2600 for a 7 year warranty and I'm covered till 101,000 miles. Or so I thought.
First off, debating VIP Gold vs. Platinum warranty. There is absolutely nothing in the documentation provided that shows any marked coverage exclusions or inclusions on the platinum over the Gold. All I kept hearing was, platinum covers what Gold doesn't. But nothing to show exactly what.
One thing I will say about the Volvo VIP Gold Warranty is that they play alot of games. It's a rip off if you ask me, but if you plan to keep your car past the factory warranty you don't have any other extended warranty option that won't do the same.
Roll your dice with any extended warranty, but this so called Volvo VIP warranty is all about what they say is included, what's not mentioned, and what is specifically excluded.
When the Volvo dealership calls their number, they argue something is NOT included therefore its excluded. However, the document goes to spell out specifically what IS excluded but there are many things that fall into the category of "what's not mentioned". So if one of those expensive parts fails, they will just say we didn't say that was included.
I paid $2600 for a "Volvo" extended warranty for a Volvo dealership (not steingold Volvo) to argue with another party and say your Volvo extended warranty does not cover what a factory warranty does. You end up feeling like the sucker for falling for this trap. I know I do.
