Alright, just bought a A4'02 (sports package) with 65000 miles. I paid 2700 for a 36000mi/3months extended warranty (3rd party -- AUL company). For those of you who think this is a lot of money for an ext warranty, can you recomend a lower priced policy? Also, do most of you all even feel the extended is necessary? thanks all. I'll try to get pictures.

 

Knowing what ive been through with my car. Yes I would go with the extended warrenty.

 

really!
how much have you spent on repairs and what type of repairs were they?

 

Yes! Go w/ an extended warranty. The company that i have has paid out over $7500 so far. I paid about $1800? for the policy that i have, i think. It was worth it, you will use more than $2700 easily.

 

how many miles did you have when your car started acting up?

 

We had about 150 miles on the car after we bout it when the CEL went on, and it's been in the shop about once a month after that.
The car had 40,000 miles when we got it, it's got 85,000 now.

 

Front and rear struts
Full front control arm replacement
front and rear rotors and pads
rebuilt transmission and driveaxles
headgasket replacement
theres other little stuff but all of that stuff added up really quick.

 

Well if we ae going to list stuff:
Control arms, upper, lower, both sides
axle seals in rear axle, both sides
water pump (twice)
right motor mount, (leaked)
wheels bearings, (3 of 4)
Cluster fading
oil filter seal
rear sway bar links
vacuum lines
washer fluid pump split
blower motor
I know there is more.

 

You feel my pain too??? lol

 

it changes by dealer to dealer there were sum who asked around $3k but i found one dealer in PA that extended it for 1.8$K but i still didnt extend it reason for that is it doesnt cover the main parts and service that yougoto every 10-15 thousound miles for like tuneup and other stuff.
