Audi Extended Warranty
Here's the deal -- I have a 2002 A4 Avant, 5 speed, 1.8t. My
manufacturer warranty has ended and I didn't extend it. The car only has about 34k on it. Warrantydirect.com is offering bumper to bumper warranty up to 4 years or 80k for $2600 and a $100 per incident deductable. Do you think that this is a good deal? Are there better options out there that I'm not aware of? |

Look at the fine print of what's covered.
$100 deductible is not bad, considering what service costs are. -- remove one of the @'s unless you are a spammer. > wrote in message oups.com... > Here's the deal -- I have a 2002 A4 Avant, 5 speed, 1.8t.

Maybe you can buy the warranty directly from >Audi. I know I have seen stuff at my dealer advertising an extended >warranty. Yes, but what will this used car warranty cost you up front, and who provides it? Audi? You don't say. I bought my 98.5 A4 2.6 from my sister in 2001 with 32k miles on it (it now has almost 100k miles), and at 35k the maintenance warranty ran out. I didn't buy an extended warranty, and have never regretted it with this car because the warranties I saw were going to cost an average of $1,000 per year, about what I pay now in repairs, and when I need repairs, I can make my own decisions about which shop to do the work. I choose from the dealer, the local independent, and my longtime garage, depending on the specific repair. I just had new pads and rotors installed on my rear wheels, and the independent wanted $375 for the job that my garage did for $250. So, my feeling is that if your car is not a lemon, the extended warranty isn't worth it. |

My dealer sold me a warranty on my '02 A4 3.0Q for 5/60 (maybe more miles, dunno, but I don't do 12K miles per year anyway) that was identical to the factory warranty other than not covering the regular maintenance items like oil changes for a bit over $1800, with no deductible and fully transferable to the new owner if I sell my car. I wasn't really looking to get it but my sales rep had encouraged me to check it out because it would be a really good deal, and I figure I only have to have one little thing go wrong per year or one big thing in five years to make it worth it. I was told it would cost a good bit more had I waited until my existing warranty was out. -- Douglas Siebert You're only young once, but you can be immature forever. |
