Extended warrantee and Audi care
Will go to pick up my 2012 S4 this weekend (arrived at dealer tonight). I have a couple questions before picking up the car. Any feedbacks are highly appreciated.
1. Should I buy audi care? Price negotiable? What's a reasonable price?
2. Extended warrantee, same questions as above.
3. Any other suggestions for a new S4 owner?
Very excited now...

If you haven't signed for it and taken it home you may still have a shot. You would be surprised what they will give you if they feel they may be about to lose the deal, even on an order. I negotiated with my sales guy the final deal over SMS yesterday before I even picked up the car. The fact that I paid cash may have had some power too. lol

My dealer is far away from my house (better price). Can I still buy audi care from them? Or I better buy from the dealer I mostly like to go for services?

You can get it from any dealer and have it serviced at any dealer. If not bought at time of purchase you are unlikely to get much of a discount... although you may be unlikely to get a discount anyway unless the deal for the car has some extra padding in it for the dealer to be able to absorb other costs. Say no to everything else they offer.

I have read numerous posts from S4 owners stating how they paid close to invoice AND got Audi care for free.
It's my understanding that Audi care has a $40-$80 markup, so I find it hard to believe that if someone is paying only $500-$1000 over invoice that they are getting it for free (unless the purchase price was closer to MSRP)??
If the dealer sells the car for $500 over invoice, with an audi holdback around $449 the dealer makes $949 on the sale. How can they give away Audi care that costs them around $700??? There total profit on the car would be $249, is this accurate, Will someone please clarify.

Don't believe everything you read on the forums from 21 y/o kids buying cars with their parents money 
It is definitely possible to get 500 over invoice if you are in the right market but I doubt you'd get free audicare with that deal... Also, if you are a previous Audi owner, the 1500 loyalty cash is a nice chunk of change to bring the price down.
