Default This new car (A5 S-Line) is cleaning out my wallet!

Dang, the final number is scary! I hope its worth it!!

$54,790 (MSRP + DEST)
$2,180 Extended Warranty
$285 Car Cover
$1,825 Tax & Title
$350 VAG-COM
----------

$59,430 8p

Car is optioned out w/ everything except adaptive cruise control. Dealer is throwing in Audi Care, 3M Ceramic Tint, Shirt, Hat, Keychain...

By far the most expensive car I've ever planned to purchase...almost changed my mind the other day, but nah, I'm going for it! Should be here either Saturday or Monday! And I already ordered that VAG-COM...gonna have to buy the car now

Default Expensive... but seems like you're getting a good deal..

Also, believe me ... the moment you drive off the lot, what you paid will seem like a distant memory... all you'll be thinking about is how much your jaws hurt coz you cant stop grinning... good luck and congrats

Default Why would you buy an extended warranty on a new car?

This is probably one of the biggest wastes of money evAr

And you should have just got the S5 or a RS4

Default Because I plan to keep it for a while, and the dealer is giving me a break on the price...

I may drop the extended warranty...still have a few days to decide. If I decide to buy later I am completely at their mercy as there isn't a car deal on the line, so I may not get as good of a price.

Default Gotta buy it at some point....2100 is not bad if good coverage to 6 years. I'm driving a

maintenance nightmare so I see the extended warranties on Audi's being worth every penny. Was on my old TT too. Except i got the policy well into owning it since i knew i was keeping it but got a refund of the unused (by time/mileage) when i got rid of the car so came out way ahead on the deal.
