If you buy a used Audi (less than a certain age) from a dealer,
it *comes* with a 5-year 75K from original inservice warranty.

If you look at what this gets you, you are buying almost NOTHING
for that $2250. And that price is a serious rip-off anyway,
given what other places sell such warranties for.
