A year till warranty ???
Hi,

Was on Topix yesterday and after putting in my vehicles details I got this back -

Model year: 2008
Build date: 27-Feb-2008
Selling dealer: B9249
Warranty start date: 28-Jan-2009

Can anyone tell me who the dealer is with the code B9249 and why if it built in Feb 2008 the warranty didn't start until January 2009 ?? Just seems odd to me.. Cheers,
Superspoons

When did you buy it, or at least when was it first registered? I'd expect warranty to start from then rather than when it was built. Darren

Hi Darren,

I bought it second hand from a LR dealer but it was first first registered on 28th January 2009. I guess it was built and then left lying around nearly a year - but that just seems odd as I would've thought everyone built would of been shipped out and sold asap...

Gavin Cheers,

Well, it makes sense that the warranty didn't start until it was first sold. As to why it hung around for so long beforehand, dunno. There could be dozens of reasons but I'd guess most likely is that the particular colour/spec combination wasn't ordered by anyone. Not every Defender will have been built to order - there will always be a need for some stock in the system. Darren

...and then there could be the fact that sometimes, the information is not correct, so maybe the build date is wrong.

My build list says that I don't have ABS and that I have a locking rear diff. Although the term "Less ABS", might be becuase it's got Traction Control, so I'll give them that one.


It could also have maybe been a factory demo vehicle that might not of been registered. Craig Rogers

This can be quite normal... I bought an Alfa 166 a few years back (Brand New)... Car was built in Dec 2005 and I was the first registered keeper (Dec 2007) !!!... Warranty doesn't start until a vehicle is sold...

Hope this helps

It says it is MY2008. MY2009 would have started about Sept '08 so it certainly stood around a while.
