    Warranty Recommendations for 2011 Audi Q5

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I recently pulled a trigger for a 2011 Audi Q5 at around 70500 miles. I have been surfing the internet looking to purchase warranty for this vehicle. Does anyone have any recommendations? I have some quotes from warranty direct, Carchex, and ASAP. I am also trying to get a hold of fidelity warranty but I'm still waiting to hear back from them.

    Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

    Put some money in a saving's account and forget an extended warranty.

    I'm aware that this particular model has carbon buildup on the engine that would cause the failure. I'm not exactly sure how much that would cost but I feel like the warranty (about 3000) would more than cover for that fix.

    yep.

    These aftermarket warranty places are sooooooooooo shady. They have teams of people who look for ways to not have to pay for a claim. I saw one on this site a few weeks ago where there was an internal engine problem. Dealer had to remove the motor and take it apart to inspect. ONly then would the warranty company decide if it was covered or not. So the owner had to spend $2,000 up front to see if a $6,000 repair was covered. If they decided no, he was on the hook for the $2,000 plus had a car in pieces on the shop floor.

    Stay away.

    This scenario would be blamed on cheap gas and not covered. Just sayin.
