Default Need advice on maintenance and exteneded warranties...

Next week I am purchasing a 2003 TT Convertible with 39K miles. The car has been leased and is in perfect condition. The car is just outside the original warranty period.

Does anyone know of a good extended warranty company? (is it even worth it???)

What should I plan on having done (preventative) in the near future? I've heard timing belts/chains, water pumps, etc...

I'm planning on having the car for about two year.

ANY advice is very much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Get it CPO from the dealer if possible. It is worth the investment.

Default Carefully evaluate

It must have had an early in service date?

I heard dealers are more expensive.
Research "inclusive" and "exclusive" extended warranties.

Inclusive ones for aobut 4 years will run you about 2100. Exclusive are more like 3-5000.

Find out which parts need repair most compare to coverage.

Find out how the warranty is paid.
Re-embursement is bad. They should pay while you are at dealer.

Looks for what voids the warranty if anything.

Its a gamble.

LOL I wish I could keep it for longer than two years but my company is sending me out of the country for several years in two years time.
