Audi extended warranty
I was quoted $2850 for an extended warranty that pushes the envelope to 6 years/100000 miles with a $250 deductible PER VISIT. I think that’s pretty pricy given the deductible. Has anyone been able to get a better deal through Audi? If I could get the deductible waved, I think that would be a good deal. We will most assuredly hit the mileage limit before the six years run out. Thoughts?

No, I believe it overrides the factory one and is a straight 4yr/100k warranty from Audi. I didn't want the 6-10yr one because I drive alot and they would be useless. It's bumper to bumper from what I was told and the contract.

Was your quote for Audi Pure Protection? which level? I was quoted with $3990 for 7 year / 100K miles. It is going through Dealer Owned Warranty Company (https://www.dealerowned.com/). Anyone heard about this company?

Just my two cents and this is very subjective and a personal choice. If you really want extra insurance then by all means get the Extended Warranty. Having owned a couple and about to trade up, I have never opted for the extended warranty (extra insurance). However, I have gotten Audi Care for each one which I do recommend. This again is subjective and is very different than the extended warranty which just overrides your existing factory warranty.
From my understanding the whole time you are under factory warranty the extended warranty is pretty much meaningless. So you paid for something you won't use. Then by chance you go out of your normal warranty and are in the extended timeframe. Your dealer would still need to go seek approval if something did go wrong with your vehicle to see if it were covered. If so and its under (extended) warranty which only covers certain things then you got lucky. Oh by the way, I should have mentioned, not only does Audi have to agree its covered, but so does that third party vendor 'Dealer Owned Warranty Company'. Lastly, any diagnostic fees will not be covered.
It's truly a gamble and honestly not worth it in my humble opinion. However, if getting the coverage gives you extra piece of mind then spend the extra $$$. PM me and I can give you a PO Box to send a commission fee to me as well while you are at it!

Good reply, Cakasky.
I too am very leery of spending any extra cash at this point. And given that the offer had a $250 deductible and that it’s not a “no questions asked” warranty like the factory warranty (yes, I know the factory warranty isn’t like that either but I’ve had very good luck with my local Audi dealership with my previous two cars) I am declining the extended warranty at this point in time. I can aways purchase extra protection later. This will give me a chance to get a good feel for the car.
As far as AudiCare goes, it seems to me that these are glorified oil changes. I have always done my own changes and as such, I have tentatively declined AudiCare. Am I missing something?

For me, i would not buy the extended warranty at initial purchase, but I might consider it when the original warranty is about to expire and if I'm having symptoms of major problems like excessive oil burning or a funky transmission, etc...
