Default What would you do ?

I am approaching 50K miles and my warranty is about to expire.
If you had an opportunity to change, replace parts what would be smart to "repair" ?
Any suggestions are appreciated ?
Thank you!

don't get it. Is anything broken? if so fix that. Or are you planning to break some stuff?

odd thread.

If you're still under warranty, get an extension. They're much cheaper if bought while IN warranty vs. while OUT of warranty. Someone seeking a warranty when they have none is more likely to stick the warranty co with a big repair than someone who buys a warranty while in warranty (since they would have had the repair done by Audi under the original warranty).

I'd trade it in or sell it and get something new.

But I also haven't put 50k on my last 3 cars...even if you combine the mileage together, I didn't reach 50k.

I get too excited about new technology and new cars. Not the most cost effective way but I also lease and that eases the cost a bit.

If you have a 2011, check your rear diff seals. Regardless of year, check the weather seals around the doors.

dont repair anything. Its a german car, without hesitation, extend the warranty. Too bad they dont build german cars like lexus. Then again, too bad they dont make a Lexus as enjoyable to drive as germsn cars.

I agree about just buying an extended warranty. Or get another car.

I'd have to agree. Your original dealer should be willing to move you into a new car painlessly.

Or switch up brands and try something different.

If you want to keep the vehicle beyond the warranty period, have the Audi service go through the car and address any issues while it is covered (by Audi).

The cars are meant to go beyond 50k miles. Bank the money until the next gen is available or go with some aftermarket tweaks.
