In article <961231161152_1122629744@emout20.mail.aol.com> you write: >I just purchased a 1997 A4 quattro.

I figure to keep the >car a while. So my question basically is... Is it worth the extra $2500? Or That doesn't sound like a very good deal to me... When you say "7 year, 100K mile", does that mean that it will take you up to 10 years of ownership, or only to year 7? One of the reason's I'm buying an A4 is that ALL the maintainance is covered for the first 3 years. Is it truely 7 year, 100K mile? However, becaues you have to pay $100 for each part (as I understand your description), that could get QUITE expensive. How many components that fail under the first 7 years are more then $200? Does it cover the clutch and the O2 sensor? Oh, wait, the O2 sensor is only about $110... Does it cover the labor involved? Do you REALLY expect to spend more than $2500 in maintainance in the first 7 years of ownership? You can get quite a lot of work done, even at the dealer for the price...
