I heard the LLTek ones don't have a perfect fit on the 99.5 A4's. Maybe I'll have to wait for a while until the newer ones come out or probably should give them a call to see what is available.

I might go with the WeatherTech mats for our 99.5 A4 soon. The rain in Seattle is forcing me to get these mats as soon as possible. The sheets of paper wear out real fast when they get wet! ;-)

The trimming might not be so bad...as long as they are easy to cut.

...but they keep getting deleted from the Picture Poster, strange. The only portion I ended up trimming was right around the dead-pedal to allow it to fit a bit better. That portion of the mat trimmed easily with scissors, although I'm sure a box cutter and a straight edge would have worked also.

Does anyone know if local dealerships make anything on the extended warranties? If so, I'm just wondering if buying one will give me any leverage in negotiating purchase price of car. I have a car on order and a quote for 7% over invoice but I'd like to do better. May order warranty anyway but if it can help me get a lower price on car overall, obviously, I'd like to know going in.

like the rest of the "rust & dust" specials: undercoating, fabric scotchguarding, lojack, pinstriping, "special" prep work. dealers often have mark-ups of 100% or more -- plenty of room for negotiating.

generally, the factory backed warranties have far less profit than the "aftermarket" ones, and are superior. The only extended warranties I would consider are the factory backed ones.
