First of all if you are buying the car from an Audi dealer the extended
warrenty is called Audi Assured,  This extends the factory warrenty to
5/75,000 from the first in service date of the vehicle. (ie: first owner).
This program through Audi costs the dealer $300.  As a tech at the dealer I
can tell you that it is worth having,  no questions asked.  HTH
