RS4 Warranty

[Lostprophet]

Where is it best to have a 3 year old RS4 covered? Any ideas on costs?

Official Audi warranty has just jumped to about £1600 for the limited mileage option. Unlimited is over £2k I think.
If your car is out of its original manufacturer/dealer warranty, you'll also have to pay for inspection.

Any indi warranties worth having?

That's right - the exact numbers are £1655 for up to 15k miles per annum, and £2149 for the unlimited mileage option - why so much more also than BMW maybe they something...

Not DRC, it's covered under a 5-year warranty.

Can only assume that there must be an element of risk involved in owning such a car for Audi to charge £1655, they still want your business after all.

They want you to buy new cars. A new car has 3 year warranty = that £4,965 that you can knock off a new car for comparison.

I don't think it works like that.

That's a rather Naïve viewpoint.. so all cars past their warranty just magically disappear!!

No they cascade down lower in the food chain - the people who cannot afford to buy a new car, and but are also not arsed about a warranty/assurance etc.

Porsche expected their customers to come back every two years and buy a new car, although their customers have become more savvy and have forced a 3 year warranty.

You can call that view naive, but look at it from a dealer's viewpoint. Even better, talk to a couple of them and enlist their opinion.

No it really doesn't work like that. A new car has to come with a warranty of some sort to protect the customer. It's not incorporated into the price. And I doubt your theory of X amount saved by buying a new car against a used one because it's unlikely that a used car will need X amount of repairs anyway.

So are you suggesting a warranty at these prices is not worth buying?
