#4028 of 4313 Lease to Purchase: Is Dealer Certified Warranty Worth It? by bocmcm

Mar 10, 2012 (3:01 pm)

My 2009 A4 Sedan lease is up this month. In expressing an interest to purchase, dealer had a 1.9% interest rate available but to qualify I'd have to purchase a $3,000 Certified Extended Warranty. And that does not include any repair costs (like new brakes) to meet Audi Certified standards.
I would finance balance for 2 years and drive for at least another 3 years.
 
Questions:
1. Is this a good investment or simply the dealer trying to make $3K++ off me?
(Just had a friend hit year 4 (post warranty) with a BMW and got hit with $3K in engine / computer repairs so this investment might be worth considering)
 
2. Are there better deals through Warranty Brokers that will provide comparable extended warranty coverage? If so, any recommendations?

Hi
I am in the same boat as you are... my 2009 A4 lease is up and I am planning to purchase at the end (in a week) - it is interesting coz I was quoted 2.99% and the warranty is optional - it is up to us - I highly doubt they can tie up the rate to warranty. the rate should be tied to your credit score.
 
also - is buying at the end of the lease a better option than to lease a new one?
if I buy it is coming out to approx 434 per month - and if lease a new one - I was able to get it down to approx 510 (exact same car) - i wonder if those $75 more is worth not dealing with a car that has 50K miles on it.

my relative around December got a A4 premium plus from a broker... We get all out cars through them. Whats the point of buying out your used car when payment comes out more not less than a new one? And you will most likely will be dealing with problems from the car. My relative did the same thing and Audi was giving trouble with what they would cover. So look around and look at the different options. I'm in NY i don't know if that makes a difference. Hope this helps.

Thank you jordantt - i know that makes the right sense. its just that returning the car and paying for the worn out tires and the repocession fee seem a little ... hmmm should i just buy out and use that money towards downpayment.

You're welcome jg22. Do you happen to know the selling prices for these deals? That would be a big help in evaluating them.

Hey gohatters. $500 over invoice plus the use of the buy rate money factor is a good deal.
 
Just make sure that the dealer takes the $750 loyalty cash or $1,000 conquest cash into account if you are eligible for either.

Thanks. Unfortunately, they just changed the lease deal and added another $1k do the down payment. I think I'll wait and see if the better deal comes back next month
