...or should I say: My wife's car possible extended warranty.

I've been an Audi nut most of my life (in addition to my 911) and have had at least one in the garage since high school. We're currently down to a single Audi, my wife's 2016 Q3 which we purchased as a CPO vehicle. Great car, she loves it, doesn't want anything else.

This is the first and only vehicle we've owned with a warranty and maintenance agreement - and really the only car I've ever had where I didn't have to wrench on it. I'm actually enjoying that. I've got a tool box full of Audi special tools plus VAG-COM and adapters. I'm sure I could tackle a problem with this thing - I'm just not sure I want to.

The CPO warranty expires this year. We've driven an average of 5300 miles/year and the Q3 currently has 38k miles on it. A warranty extension for another 5 years to a maximum mileage of 75k (including maintenance) is $5750.

That seems a bit steep to me but I guess I'd really be buying insurance against major failures (and Audi's record isn't so great lately).

What are the rest of you doing for vehicle warranty situations like this? Thoughts on cost of this extension?
