Am interested in this thread.
As my 2019 Rubicon approached 24,000 miles there was a minor decision to make as a MOPAR Maximum Care extended warranty was (discounted) around $1,500 for $200 deductible 85,000 miler. But when it crossed that line, then the extended MOPAR warranty price went up. But turned out the difference was only $149 or so now for the price between 24,000 and 36,000 miles. So I passed that threshold and am now at 24,500.
However, they keep telling me it's the electronics that are the problem these days. NAV system, electronic sway bar, etc. etc...
It's also the cost tradeoff of just getting a new vehicle versus accepting you'll keep the vehicle for a long time. But I'm now at the age where getting a new Jeep probably isn't in the cards, plus it seems they go up around $3,500 every year. One like mine would run $60,000 with taxes, and I'm tired of working ..
Now however, after reading the OP's cost for the Audi, $1,500 sounds like cheap insurance for me... So other's experiences are helpful to me.
