Default I just bought a 09 Audi A4 and I need help please!

Ok so I just bought a 09 Audi A4 prestige with 58k miles for 21,455. I love the car and I did a lot of research on this site before buying the car so I decided to Join. I have a couple of Questions and hopefully y'all can help me.

1. I bought the extended warranty 2 years/24000 miles (it only has 3 months/3000miles warranty left) for $4,200. After doing some thinking and researching some more I don't think I should of bought it. Any help?

2. Anything I should watch out for this year and model?

Any other information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!!

1 - No, not worth it. It's way to much money for a little extra protection. At least shop around for it. FYI my biggest repair was complete rebuild of AC (compressor, lines, valves). $2700 at the dealership. In reality only a small part broke during winter but I discovered it in late spring by which time the whole system was ruined. I consider myself unlucky but I would still come out ahead at the price you quote.

2 - Discussed in a lot of detail on this forum already. In short, nothing that will leave you stranded on the shoulder. Vibration issues is the main complaint. There is also redesigned wind deflector (less noise), door seals (original glue is bad) and of course oil consumption which from what I know plagues all model years.
