Hi Sajeev,
I have a 2010 Audi S5 with about 45k miles. My local mechanic recommended Mercury Warranty for mechanical breakdown coverage… is $4,700 a good deal for 5 years, or an additional 52k mileage in coverage?I'm worried that it would be easy to add up to that $ in repairs.
Sajeev asks:
Needing the warranty is a safe bet, good for you. Question is, can you service the S5 at the Audi dealer with that warranty? What's the deductible? Are loaner cars covered?
Chris answers:
Yes, loaner cars are covered and I can have it serviced anywhere that I want. $100 deductible. It's their platinum level exclusionary policy…
Sajeev concludes:
Yeah, that's good stuff: but shop around because someone might sell it for less. So what's the only problem here? It's not a factory warranty, with factory customer service.
Will this company dump your AWD high performance coupe after a certain payout threshold? It is possible. But, from what I've seen with people far braver than I, the moment your 4+ year old German bahnburner raises the ire of the underwriting department is after the warranty paid for itself.
Perhaps asking an Audi dealer about the chance of an extended warranty is also in order.
And now let's see what the Best and Brightest add into the mix!
