You can always buy a extended warranty, but you'll save a few bucks by
buying one before your current one expires. My dealership is a Chysler/VW
dealer (they sell the Jeep Grand Cherokees until the Porsche, Audi & VW
SUV's come out), and they suggested I get the Chrysler warranty, because
it's easier to get parts, apparently. (They put more faith in the dealer,
apparently, than VW)

Anyway, you still get authentic VW parts. I paid $822 for a $100
deductible, and extended the warranty to five years, 60K miles. The nice
thing is that if I sell it in the next year or so, the warranty is
transferrable to the next owner.

If nothing else, I like the piece of mind that a warranty gives.
