Default Bit the bullet...bought at lease end...good deal

AoA made me an offer I couldn't refuse; 1.9%/0 down rate, a $2K rebate (could have been $3K if I paid cash), and cancelled the final lease pmt. However, AFS offers NO extended warranty, so now I'm shopping for one.

Default Did you consider the alternative (if not too late)?

Have your dealer buy the car from Audi Finance and "certify" it for sale to you on pre-arranged payment terms. This way you get the "assured" warranty.

Default Then you have to pay sales tax again. Ask the dealer what Aft. Mkt Warranty's they sell/support.

talk to the service guys and get their recommendation/thoughts.

Default get AoAs pure protection......

...a bit more expensive but no hassles with aftermarket ins. Drive in to an Audi dealer, day your deductible, have it fixed and drive out.....

Default You're limited in CA

most of the online companies don't do business here. One company I found when I was looking is Mercury, in addition to all the various insurances they sell extended warranties.

Check your yellow pages, as they say, Mercury is sold through independent insurance agents. Turned out my company's credit union also sold them.

Default Its just another warranty company...no Audi backing

Call the number and you get Fidelity not AoA or AFS. Haven't found any local dealers that sell it either.
