Deal done, but can’t drive it home yet. Waiting on Certificate of Origin. Hopefully this weekend…
I mean, why can’t they ship the COO with the vehicle? Or DHL/FedEx it overnight?
I guess if I waited 2.5 months I can wait a bit longer, it is a bit annoying though.

Just ordered mine yesterday and they told me 2-3 months. As long as I have it before Christmas with the HK system in it, I'll be thrilled!

I bought the Warranty to 100k, just based on the likely brake jobs... All four corners, with those lovely brakes, ain't cheap, and I expected every 30-40k miles. Pads, rotors, and labor are in the $700+ range.
So any regrets so far?
Well the fronts were replaced at 28k, and then the rears at 44k. Then all four corners at 82k. So that's at least $1,400 in benefit. That warranty might also have been a factor when Gollum developed a torn outer boot over the CV joint (new axle, $1,299+) and upper engine mount (passenger side) at 72k (at least $500).
So no - no regrets. That warranty is not cheap, but neither is maintaining a JCW in top condition.
Cheers,
Charlie
