I purchased a "Certified" pre-owned 2004 A8L approximately 18 months ago with 42K miles. Now I have approximately 70K miles on it. Most of these miles are highway miles. (I did a lot of traveling this year). I have had a few problems that my dealer has notified me about and of course none of the problems are covered by the extended warranty (according to them).

Before I reached 50K, I had to have my telematics unit replaced. Now, my tire pressure monitoring system does not work. The dealer told me something about a problem with my suspension system that would cost about $2300 to get fixed.

First, how can I find out what the Audi extended warranty covers? I am worried that there will be further breakdowns in my car. (I am finding out the true cost of owning a luxury car).

Second, I received a quote from AAAutowarranty.com for approximately $2500 to cover my car until it gets 220001 miles or 60 months. For another $150, they will cover seals and gaskets. I understand that they will not cover the two preexisting conditions that I mentioned. Is this a good price? Later today, I will look at ndwarrantyservice.com to see what they have to offer.

That said, give him a holler to see what he can do for you. Many happy customers, not the least of whom is PKrazee, aka the Great Lakes Lamprey.

Most buyers assume that it is the same as the original factory warranty, and that's far from the truth. It's a named component coverage, so if the part isn't specifically named in the policy, it's not covered. See the link to the AudiUSA website for their policy verbiage.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audiusa.com/etc/medialib/cms4imp/audi2/aoa/product/certified_pre_owned.Par.0016.File.pdf">http://www.audiusa.com/etc/medialib/cms4imp/audi2/aoa/product/certified_pre_owned.Par.0016.File.pdf</a</li></ul>
