My dealer sold me a warranty on my '02 A4 3.0Q for 5/60 (maybe more miles,
dunno, but I don't do 12K miles per year anyway) that was identical to
the factory warranty other than not covering the regular maintenance items
like oil changes for a bit over $1800, with no deductible and fully
transferable to the new owner if I sell my car. I wasn't really looking to
get it but my sales rep had encouraged me to check it out because it would
be a really good deal, and I figure I only have to have one little thing
go wrong per year or one big thing in five years to make it worth it.

I was told it would cost a good bit more had I waited until my existing
warranty was out.
