Take the money you were going to spend on a warranty, put it in the bank. Odds are you won't use all of it on repairs that would have been covered by the warranty. A8's are pretty reliable.

I had a Fidelity warranty on my previous A8. They paid out of the rear on that car. It's a warranty company that Audi dealers like to work with bc they pay the full hourly labor rates and don't request reconditioned parts for repairs.

I was pretty happy with them, $100 deductible so I waited for several things to need fixing before I took it in.

Someone on here awhile ago stated that they bought their extended warranty from their credit union.

I guess credit unions have very good deals on extended warranties...

Every warranty that I purchased paid for itself at least once. On my S600, there was over $30K of work done that warranty covered.

Now I intentionally buy CPO to get the warranty up to 100K miles.
