Answer 1

worth getting if you have an independent audi specialist in your locality too many audis and BMWs are wrecked by ignorant mechanics

Answer 2

Yes, "luxury" brands mean lots of money to buy, maint & repair.



If it still has a decent amt of time on the Audi Warranty, I'd consider it after researching its VIN. If that's ok, have a mechanic familiar w/ that yr & model check it.



Try to get one under Audi's warranty, not a 3rd party warranty, or eligible to be put under the warranty w/ lo mi, new enough, and in excel cond.



Get the bumper to bumper warranty, dont get or stay w/ the drivetrain/powertrain type, too many exclusions.



Call some A dealers' finance managers for details. Always get multiple opinions.
