New Car Extra Warranties - ? Value
Just picked up our 3rd Audi A4.
Purchased the Audi Care Plan (for $750) & am considering the Mechanical Breakdown Protection package ($3,375 + Tax).
Drive about 25,000 km per year.
Appreciate any advice on the value of this option & the quoted price.
Is it worth it?
Our last A4 gave us 7 years of trouble-free driving with no major repair costs.
Thanks!

I got my 2012 s4 "used" when it was really a demo owned by the dealerships manager, so we got the luxury of the remaining factory warranty + 2 years certified preowned.
We did however pass on the additional warranty after that.
We did however also buy Audi Care and Leather + Paint protection, hopefully that's worth it!

The only time I've come ahead on an extended warranty was on a POS Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited Hemi. Otherwise, the claims were paltry.
Anything can break down during, its the down payment you are providing for a repair that may or may not happen afterward. Its a gamble, but if you can afford it, its piece of mind.
And be VERY meticulous with your maintenance and KEEP the records. Never know when a Audi fault becomes your problem, if you catch my drift.

I don't know what Audi Care is exactly, but leather and paint protection can be had a lot cheaper doing your own elbow grease and purchase from Canadian Tire.

Thats where they apply the plastic film on the front end? Yes, its a goo investment. Can hardly tell its there. I'd shop around for something like that. Dealer will send it to _______ and charge you $300 extra.

I emailed him once I found him listed in Finance and included the VIN along with my name, address and phone and what I was looking for. When he called 15 minutes later he'd already verified ownership (and that my Limited had AWD), gave me a price and took my credit card info.
