Ouch! When I bought mine they wouldn't sell me a warranty because the TDI scandal had just come out. I've seen a few 2014's with mileage around 30k in the low $30k price range on autotrader. I'd buy a lower mileage vehicle with a factory warranty over the extended warranty.

WV. I search 500 miles out. I've only seen one for sale in my area and the dealership has had it for almost 18 months because it's overpriced.

Bumper-to-bumper, or powertrain?

Right - prices make sense now. It's an "inclusionary", rather than "exclusionary" warranty, meaning rather than listing what's NOT covered, they list only what's covered. Sounds like a big list, but modern cars are complex vehicles, and the list of what's not covered is MUCH larger than the list of what is...

Not saying it's not worth the $$$ - that's up to you to decide, Just make sure you realize what you're actually buying.

We were pricing out bumper-to-bumper exclusionary warranties, which are always much more expensive...

Totally agree, If I switch to something else, I'll be giving up something

This is the exact feeling about our 2013 Passat TDI.
