Extended warranty on used R8

Hello, I just purchased an R8 today and I tried looking around to see if there is an extended warranty plan available for it.

It's a 2008 with 8k miles so basically brand new.. just a few years old.

Does anyone here know if Audi offers a plan for the car considering it was bought as a used car and not new?

Thanks

Hi
Some Audi dealers offer extended warranty for different cases. For first ownersm, the car has to have at least 6 month valid warranty and the previous services were all done by AUDI. For second owners there is a third party company usually which is associate with the dealer that offers an extended warranty which covers the engine,transmission and other main parts like the AC compressor.

22. TURBOCHARGER/SUPERCHARGER- Turbocharger/Supercharger housings and all internal parts; waste gate; intercooler. Seals and gaskets.
Would that include an aftermarket Supercharger? My warranty is up June 2013. If I decided to keep car would like some extended warranty but not sure I could get one with my Stasis Supercharger?

I did not qualify for extended warranty coverage through the dealer with the S/C. Let me know if you find something?

Best, Doug

That one looks better than the Fidelity one that Audi sells, if they follow through. The Fidelity one excludes stuff like the convertible top operation, for example.
