Default After market warranty plans?

Does anyone know of a worth while after market warranty plan. My 2000 S4 is the best car that I ever had and I'm thinking it's going to be a long term keeper. The car only has 26,000 but I would like to start researching now.

Default Last time I looked, it was hella expensive.

Warranty companies don't seem to like turbos. Can't imagine why. :-)

Default Couple, or three grand probably for a 7/100k warranty I'd bet.

Won't cover everything the audi one does though (like clutches... which is really f'in expensive to replace on an S4)

Default You can also check here.

Don't have any experience with them, but they seem okay from what I've read.<ul><li><a href="http://www.warrantygold.com/">http://www.warrantygold.com/</a</li></ul>

Default Does it exclude things like timing chains, turbos and clutches?

These are three things that will eventually go on the S4 with four-digit repair bills. My guess is any policy that inexpensive probably doesn't cover those.

Brake rotors, pads, clutch all covered under factory warranty.
