New Owner - Been Offered Prepaid Servicing Option....any Good?

[Copperface]

Hi,

New to here.

Have just bought an 56 plate (sept 06 12k on clock) Avensis T3-X 1.8 vvt-i hatchback which I pick up on Tuesday.

Dealer was trying to sell me a prepaid service pack for a three year servicing plan which includes two 'main/large' services and one minor for a total of £496.80 with 0% monthly payments over 28 months available.

After nearly falling off the chair I looked closer and I suppose that really it's not that bad, or is it?

Any recommendations? I plan to keep it serviced at main Dealer until out of warranty (2 yrs or so).

Any suggestions gratefully accepted - would like to decide before I pick it up on Tuesday....Thanks

your 20,000 30,000 and 40,000 mile service will come to more than that so its a good deal. estimate about £110 and £230 respectively for the services. if you search the forums you'll find some dealers charging much more.
