Anbody use these to cover you RS4? They seem to offer everything for a reasonable price.

Judging by the responses to my "Warranty" Poll, no! http://www.rs246.com/index.php?name=PNp ... ic&t=79056

Only 9 votes there though mate. Perhaps somebody has used them in the past??

My experience of third party warranties on previous cars is that they take your money but never pay out.

I'm also thinking of getting the extended warranty as mine's just gone 3 years, but something pretty significant would have to happen to qualify the outlay of £1250. I just fear that Audi could simply turn round and say whatever's happened isn't covered under the warranty (i.e. wear and tear etc.) and you'd have to pay out anyway... thoughts?

My warranty ran out at the end of June and at the time I wasn't going to extend it. I've subsequently changed my mind and just got off the phone with the dealer who gave me the response I was (unfortunately) expecting which is that they can't now renew my warranty as the elapsed period is too great. They can offer me a reduced warranty with no breakdown cover for £2739 though!

My advice would be to take it out whilst you still can.
