Welcome to the family! The manual transmission is indeed very hard to find. Mine had to be traded from another dealership. If your photo is correct, the wheels are 19" wheels, aren't they? (I thought "peeler" design wheels only came in the 19" wheel package).

okay so i just got off the phone with the dealer, the car is not certified pre owned, therefore i did not get the extended warranty through audi, but i do have audi care for all the maintenance up to 45k miles, the 5k was done by the previous owner, I do still have valid warranty through audi up to 4 years, 50k miles, which is 6/6/2017. The warranty i purchased through the used dealer i bought my car from is a 5 year warranty which would continue to 7/6/2019 or 60,000 miles, (71,000) on my car so the real question is , is the 3,000$ worth the extra 2 years and 21,000 miles...

In my opinion, no. I suggest checking with an Audi dealer, FD-warranty.com (an Audi dealer that sells same policies online - Fidelity) or AAA on costs of alternatives and check into whether there is a penalty for canceling the warranty purchased with the car.

Also, with the Fidelity warranties, prices will ratchet next at 25K miles, so to maximize the warranty term, you may want to wait until you are close to 25K miles to buy it. Other than annual price increases each January, the price of buying at 24,999 should be the same as 10,000 miles, with the warranty "term" in both years and miles starting at the date / mileage of purchase. That's why I waited until I had over 24K miles to buy mine. This is just Fidelity - not necessarily the same for every warranty company. An Audi dealer or FD should be able to confirm for you what I'm saying.

That is good news, Audicare is worth $ 1000 in service savings. I guess it now depends on how much driving you expect to do and how long you want to keep the car.

Alright I'm going by the dealer tomorrow to see about getting credited back for the LoJack and the warranty which would save me roughly 3,700$ I'll let you all know the outcome and thanks for the advice about purchasing that warranty around 24k miles I will look Into that depending on the amount of time I plan on keeping the vehicle but I can't express enough how happy I am with the car itself , it's hands down an awesome ride.

Now you can put that $ 3700 into wheels, tint, intake, etc, lol!

Dude, that cost is criminal... Wait for the 24K mark as suggested, and scope out a few reputable underwritten service plans. Zurich, preferred advantage, etc...

A round of applause for the group's collective ability to save you almost $4K. Are we meeting at the bar -- a round on you?...

Well the dealer did credit me back for their warranty but they said they couldnt undo the lojack and i went ahead and got it installed, also they got me a front license plate holder for the state of WA because its required but that thing is UGLYYYY and they were gonna drill holes in my grill...ummm no thank you.

Digital_Bees

Who are these monsters?...

"Sorry about stiff-arming you on the lojack, but here's a license plate holder. I hope your butt doesn't hurt too bad, but ice and Advil will help."
