Re: extended warranty on 97A6 (New Audi owners take note)

Well I tried that extended warranty URL that someone posted
earlier today (sorry I've lost it since). Their site has an
automated quote system, so I tried a couple of examples based
on my 1997 A4Q V6 (w/25000 miles). Entered all the data the
same except in one instance I click the box saying the manuf.
warranty was still in force, and in the other I said it wasn't.
Here is what came out:
Warranty in force: 6yr/72k mile extended = $1525
(6yr/100kmile extended = $1900)
Thus would be covered for another 3yrs or 48k.
Warranty expired: 3yr/36k mile extended = $3800 !!
(Covering me just the extra 3yrs or *36k*)
Thus, its interesting to note that going for an extended
warranty 1 day after the factory warranty expires will cost
an EXTRA $2300 (and 12k miles LESS coverage)!!!
Point to ponder if you are thinking about getting an
extension for your (nearly) new Audi!
