Default Well I bit the bullet and bought an extended warranty plan today...(m)..

I have been looking for the last 20,000 miles or so and I kept coming back to Auto-Warranties.net.

For 1825.00 w/zero deductible I'm covered for an additional 4 years and up to 100,000 miles and they cover twin turbos and all the good stuff.

Wish me luck....I hope I don't have to use them but if I do, I hope is a good experience.

I am in need of an extended warranty also, what were your reasons for choosing this company over the others?
Thanks

Default That's a good price probably...

...the other one I am considering (WarrantyGold) would have been $500 more, even during their $500 off end of the month sale.

Price compaired to others.

Exclusion list is very short.

I talked to the same person everytime I called for information.

Maximum pay out is the cars value at the time of breakdown...not 10,000 or 20,000 lifetime max like others.

They answered my questions and sent me information quickly and explained the plan very well.

Default question please

If you can shell out the cash for the ride, why cant you afford a repair ? It seems to me that the money you gave away could be invested in something and over the next year or two cover any catastrophie.

How close to the end of your Audi warranty did you wait?

Default Re: question please

I'm thinking a turbo replacement being $6000+ and then a tranny fix being big bucks also.

Basically it's a piece of mind.

I can afford the payments but I can't afford a big hit for a repair.
