Default I've just heard some bad experiences with aftermarket companies not wanting to get the job done to

it's fullest potential. One story lately is of a guy who blew a turbo. The aftermarket company didn't want to put in 2 new turbos...they just wanted to replace the one bad turbo. The only downside to Certified is you'll still have to deal with Audi

But you cannot buy Audi certified unless you are a dealer - no?

Some dealers will certify their customer's cars.

Default it is only available through dealers--typically you have to buy the car from the dealer with the

warranty in place...I have heard stories of people getting one through their dealership but have no first hand knowledge, I do believe if you are buying out a leased car you can get one on it if it qualifies. I have a 7/100k on my S4, it was a mfg. car for big wigs and I got it with hardly any mileage and with the certified warranty---worth its weight in gold and its transferable!

Default No way. I have the best dealer going and they said unpossible. They would have to buy it, certify it

then sell it back to you and they are not going to do that for cheap.

Default Audi Certified is best however- - ->

you can only get it if the dealer owns the car (ie. can't get it if you are buying the car as you come off your lease).

I have heard good things about Auto Warranty Brokers and Audi has a new aftermarket program called JMA...not sure of details yet or what it stands for.

Default Actually I inquired this weekend and- ->

while you probably can get if you purchase a car the dealership owns, that came off lease..but not if you are buying a car YOU have been leasing.

Default Rather sweeping generalization. SEARCH Warrantech. Been very good for me,i.e., $1,000...

to the positive and covered thru JAN 09.
