Pick up latest Autoweek
Look in the classifieds and call the companies for some quotes.
Also get quote from Edmunds.com site advertiser, I think it's Warranty Gold or somesuch.
Credit unions also tend to offer these. You do NOT need to buy one from someone affiliated with Audi. Be aware that since orig warranty expired, you will pay a little more. Get enough to cover the catastrophic stuff (engine, tranny, radiator) and expect to pay the little bills yourself.

Re: NOT OneSource. They'll give you hell any time you try to make a claim. They won't believe you.
I have one source also. I have not used them yet. What type of problems did you have with them?

All of my cousin's dealerships use GE. I had it, too.
I got more $ out of it in services than it cost me! HEHE. It more than paid for itself. You can get one @ wholesale cost online.

I've been pretty happy with Warranty Direct
They pay the shop directly with a credit card so you don't have to worry about getting reimbursed. You can use any shop (I go to an Audi dealer.) Of course it would have been cheaper if you had gotten the warranty before your factory warranty ran out.

experience with GE:
I used GE. its more of a repair "insurance" package.. but i had a "claim" through the dealer where i bought the car and the warranty, and all went smoothly. about 2500 in repairs cost (after the water pump went, compromising the timing belt and the serpentine belt) me 100 for a deductable. my car was only worth 10k or so and the whole plan for 12k miles only cost me 400 i think... a good deal as it turned out.
