Extended Warranty??

[George Tur]

That seems awfully expensive. When I bought my last used Audi, it had the extended warranty which adds 2 years or increases the mileage to 100,000k miles, I got the impression that that coverage cost the dealer somewhere in the vicinity of $1500 to $1800 for the entire period. I don't know how good those numbers are but I got those numbers from discussions with 2 different dealers.
