Non-Audi warranty for an RS6?

[Dav_s]

Hello

The RS6 I'm looking at buying comes with an Audi warranty. This could obviously be an issue as I'd like to pay MRC a visit once I have the car.

Which other company is best for a warranty in terms of price and cover?

Any idea of what I should be expecting to pay for 1 years cover on a 2008 Avant with around 30k on the clock?

Thanks

I wouldn't bother. Put the cash into the pot and use it if needed. I had a warranty on my S8 and it has paid for nothing. I wish I had just negotiated the price off the price of the car.

It'll always be pot luck.

Audi dealership telling me it's their standard procedure that all cars come with a warranty. Would be pointless in this case though. Frustrating.

Not verified this, but I think you should still be able to claim under warranty for issues unrelated to engine/transmission, even if it's been tuned.

Having said that, my A4 is the first car for a long time that didn't needed *any* work done under warranty.

That's my view too and that's basically what I do. They are pretty bullet proof and the main issues like wheel bearings probably wouldn't be covered anyway.

That's just FUD. The Audi warranty is pretty good. Wheel bearings are certainly covered.

As for tuned cars:-

This cover does not cover any injury, failure, loss or damage caused by, arising from or in connection with the following:... 6. Vehicles modified in any way from the original manufacturer’s specification.

So if you put Stage 3 ECU in and the diff turns to cheese, then you get a big bill. But anything unrelated to the mods should still be covered.
