Default Extended Warranty (Wrap) for 2015 A6 Premium Plus - $2k worth it? 6 yr/50k past manf

Hello - I am a newbie and this is my first time owning/posting on anything Audi related. If I am not supposed to pose this q here, please do let me know and my apologies in advance!

I bought a 2015 Premium Plus with 4 yr / 50k bumper to bumper from Audi and a 10 yr/100k Powertrain warranty from the Dealer.

So when the dealer asked if I would like to purchase extended warranty I was confused.

He said that Protective Asset Protection sells a product called CostGuard "WRAP" which covers non powertrain related issues from year 5 to 10 or until 100k miles.

He said cost of it is $1900 and usually it's more like 5-6k. I called AAA and they quoted me $3.5k for it.

So... Is this a no-brainer? Or do you have any experience with this company or this 'WRAP' product?

TRULY appreciate your response in advance!

They get your money up front and make you a big promise.

That's not my idea of a wise purchase.

They have no interest in your customer satisfaction.

If it was a Audi warranty and NOT a third party you might consider it, but no way would I do this with a 3rd party!

Those companies come and go with alacrity.

In fact, outside of a CPO preowned car, Audi does not offer nor back any extended warranty - they are all third party. Even Fidelity's "Audi Pure Protection" often being sold by dealers is third party and not administered nor backed by Audi.
