Buying extended warranty

I would not keep a 4 year old Audi another 8 years unless you really like endless repair bills. Buy reliable cars if you keep them 8 years. Make a judgement call on the warranty but I would plan on selling the car well before it hits 100,000 miles (160,000km).

If the warranty is not factory backed it is probably a waste of money.

If you know they always break down and are a nightmare to fix, why did you buy it? Do your homework on the warranty company they're offering. Some are good, others are not. Consumer Reports and the Better Business Bureau are good places to start your research. Next time buy a Ford Product, or a Toyota. Hope that helps! Jim

Some people have impulses they can't resist even though they know the outcome will be ugly.
