[s-cars] warranty GP?

Honestly, no, good thought Aaron.  I was sorta riding Bruce's coattails here
on this one, and assumed he'd done the legwork before getting his.  Bruce,
seeing as you've BTDT with these, what's your thoughts?  Wait a sec, you're
racing again today, aren't you, you ratbastard!

For giggles, I copied the link and emailed it to Accel asking WTF.  Anyone
else out there know anything about Wizard?

NOTE!  I just spoke with them.  HA!  Get this.  They do NOT cover S6's.
They DO cover S4's.  I tried to explain that I could park 2 side by side and
pry the badge off the trunk and it's the same car (well, you know what I
mean).  You can picture the response "uh, like, maybe it's a performance
model or something.  We don't cover the S6, A4 / A6 / A8".

Anyway, tx for trying Aaron, this one's out for me.  Good luck to any of the
rest of you.

-Paul

Have you guys looked into:

They are cheaper and offer a 60 mo 50,000 mi option for around 1600$ (car
must have less that 80,000 mi to qualify for this one)
Coverage seems decent

True, I highly suspected the same.  But by then why would we care?  They'd
be contractually bound until the end of our coverage.  Works for me.

After we all get on the plan and they process all the claims they will
no longer insure the scars as I have found is the case with other companies.

Morning, again (long-ish)-

Upon reading Bruce Mendel's post:

<<<<<<<<<The one I just bought ( www.accelwarranty.com
<http://www.accelwarranty.com> ) is not on the above
web page.=
However, they covered my car as a 1993 with 95K miles, for 3 yrs/36K

miles=

, for $1700, $94 monthly "pay as you go" plan, fully transferable and

cance=

lable, and great coverage!

I can tell you from my experience that the first extended warranty I had,

w=

hich I bought at 65K miles for $1500, has paid out well over $6K on my

car.=

I consider a well-researched warranty a must-have AND a great deal for

the=

S-cars. I could not afford my car otherwise!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

...I was intrigued.  I'd traded emails with him about this before and he
obviously swears by it (I'm normally skeptical about these things).  Then I
saw Chad Hall's experience with Accel not going smooth.  So, I included his
saga in my list of questions for them.  They intervened with Chad and

solved

it immediately, FWIW (it was an issue with procedure, not coverage).

I got mine this morning, can't wait.  Why?  Er, email either Bruce or I
direct to protect the innocent.  It covers basically everything we are
concerned with, including OE stereo equipment, control arm bushings, tie

rod

ends, flywheels, etc.  No bulbs, lenses, clutches, brake pads, tires,
exhausts, paint, chrome, etc.  But the big things we know are destined to,
er, well, are covered.

ANYway.  While Bruce & I were trading Q&A's with them, we had a thought.
Ask Accel about doing a GP.  Some discount for 10 or more or something.

And

stuff.

After suggesting 10% off for 10 or more, 20% off for 20, etc., they
responded there wasn't sufficient margin to offer that.  The 'deal' for us
they said they could do is $75 off for 10 or more persons.  For my '95 mit
97k, the 3/36 plan, $0 deductible, was $1,915.  So, it's only about a 4%
savings, but hey, it's better than nothing.  As Bruce and others have
pointed out, I WILL get my $$$'s worth out of this thing.  I can guarantee
that!  But I figured I share with you all what he & I learned last week.

This is from Accel:

<<<<<<<<<<<<the plan actually allows for any year, any mileage, so we are
able to take care of your friends in the group regardless of year or
mileage. We felt we had to put a beginning and stopping point on the web to
try to eliminate some of the higher-risk, high-mileage vehicles. But I know
Audi's are good cars, and it sound

s like your group really takes good care
of them, so I wouldn't have a problem with the any mileage, any year plan
for your group.>>>>>>>>>>

So, there would be a plan for all of our cars.  I think the 3/36 option
drops to 2/24 after 100k, and possibly after a certain age. I also inquired
about a zero deductible option ($100 per visit not repair), it's available
for and upfront $115 (no brainer).  As Bruce mentioned, you can pay upfront
or monthy, mine comes to $100 / month.  It's interest free, you can pre-pay
the balance, and it's transferable (no brainer, again!).

Email me directly I guess if you're interested or have questions, and I'll
put you in touch directly with the President of the company that I've been
dealing with ever since I referenced Chad's plight, if we're able to hit

the

magic 10.

If not, no biggie, I'll still be laughing all the way to my mechanic  with
my own plan.
