Finally got around to shopping for a warranty for the S4.
Lasher in Sac, CA quoted me $2804 for the Platinum (covers practically everything mechanical) version of the Audi-backed JM&A extended warranty. I'm at 49,600 right now and am betting on a turbo failure (horrible turbo whine at WOT). Anyone done similar or have any suggestions?

Dave's right. I decided AWB was about the right risk/reward compromise for me.
An Audi backed warranty was certainly something I considered, but it was a lot more money (like 50% more) and my dealer was being kinda funny about the whole thing so I think I would have been one of the guinea pigs for the program. Didn't want that. Other people had reported positive things about AWB, and I figured their rate was worth paying for insurance against a big repair like turbos etc. Just gotta decide what's right for you. Good luck.
