Default 1Source extended warenty reviews

Hi:
I'm thinking of buying the Diamond (the most complete one) extended warenty for my Audi S4 2001. I drive the car 30K miles a year, so i need a high miles version which 1Source offers.

I live in California and there are no other choices other than the dealer (max 70K miles) or (AAA, max=86K miles). The 1Source coverage looks better than AAA. The dealer is very expensive and only 70k.

Any expereinces? Do they pay without pain? My car is stock.

Thanks!!!

Default How do you plan on getting this warranty when it states . . .

on the second page after you enter your year & model, "We're sorry, but at this time we do <b>not</b> cover Twin-Turbo's." That sounds like a pretty big dilemma to me my friend.

Default Any repair that is expensive will have pain and delay associated

Make sure you have all service history, you may experience additional delay if they want to send an adjuster out to inspect the vehicle.

This isn't an observation about 1Source, but how I feel any aftermarket warranty place would operate. It's not in their best interest to pay out, especially if the pay out is more than you paid in.

That, and supposedly only "dealers" can legally sell these MBI type contracts per Cal Dept of Insur.
