Extended Term protection worth it?

Picked up a RS 5 SB today and this post was incredibly helpful in going in with a price in mind for the Term Care. For me personally I only really was on the fence for the Term Care w/ Brake Rotors and didn't plan on picking any others (hopefully I will continue to avoid pot holes...). The initial quote for the Term Care was just over $3k, which I'm pretty sure was for the 48 months (although in retrospect I'm not 100% certain). As soon as I started saying that I may not pick anything (outside of Audi Care) I was offered a $1,591 quote -- this is for Term Care /w Brake Rotors coverage for 48 months.
It does definitely cover the replacement set for front/rear pads and brake rotors (w/ the Brake Rotors coverage) due to wear and tear.
It's impossible to say whether I'll end up in the money by the end of the 4 years but at that price I thought it was an acceptable risk on a car like this. It does seem reasonable to have to get through replacing a set of front/rear pads and brake rotors within that time for a daily driver to/from downtown.
Obviously whether this is worth it or not is a personal choice, but at least in this case there was quite a bit of a possible discount even on a RS 5 SB.
Hopefully this info is helpful to others as well.

Thanks for all the help - interesting thread. Just an update on Term Protection w/ the rotor proection. I asked the parts guy the cost on 2019 RS5 Sportback brake rotors. Here are the prices he quoted me:
Front: $760 x 2 = $1520
Rear: $1010 x 2 = $2020
Total: $3540
Interestingly, I was quoted $3458 for the Term Care w/Rotor Option for 4 years.
Front: $760 x 2 = $1520
Rear: $1010 x 2 = $2020
Total: $3540

For what it's worth I did pay for $1,591 Term Care /w Brake Rotors coverage for 48 months on a 2019 RS 5 Sportback; so maybe it's priced in that not everyone will actually need to replace those within the 4 years or there are huge swings in quoted prices.

I used the S4 because they don’t have all the parts listed for the S5. I don’t see the RS 5 listed at all, probably because it’s so new and hasn’t updated. I’m guessing by the time you need brakes it should be listed, unless you’re tracking your car everyday and need brakes soon.
