Anyone recently purchased wheel and tire insurance from your dealer? I'm considering getting it my A7 (stock 19" wheels). In my area, the risk of hitting a major pothole is pretty high. The dealer is offering a 5 year coverage plan through IAS, no deductible, covers replacement as well as cosmetic damage repairs. The initial quote was insanely high: over $2000. Negotiated down to $1870. Still seems too high. 3 months ago we purchased a similar coverage (from another dealer) for my wife's Q3 for $900. I get the wheel / tire difference between Q3 and A7 etc but doubling the premium feels like a rip-off. Or am I wrong?

I just bought the IAS policy for &1295. Covers damage and cosmetics. I did not purchase from the dealer from which I bought my car because they were charging much more. I called around and found another dealer that gave me a better price for the same product.

Thanks. $1295 sounds very reasonable.

On recent purchase of Q5, dealer initially offered $1295 for what sounds like the same policy.

I declined. He came down to about $975. I declined again.

Thanks. $975 is a good deal, imo. On the other hand, the risk of destroying a wheel is less for a Q5.
