About to purchase Audicare for my 2015 Q5 TDI; please advise!
Hello everyone,
Purchased my 2015 Q5 TDI in July (should have waited until September and probably would have gotten a bigger discount ha!). Closing in on 4000 miles. I am about pull a trigger in Audicare at MSRP. In light of the current VW scandal, should I pull the trigger now or wait? Do you anticipate prices going up on Audi service? Not sure what to do at this point.
Your thoughts are greatly appreciated!
TIA

If your planning on keeping the car through the 45K service interval it certainly makes sense. Keep in mind the 5K service is free and Audicare doesn't start until the 15K service interval.

Given that AUDI will have to do something to make their customers happier because of the EPA thing, you might get a better deal later. The dealers are waiting on Volkswagen's response to customers. You might be able to choose free or discounted Audicare as your cookie.

Thank you guys. I am aware of 5000 free service and needing to purchase Audicare by 15,000 miles. I am trying to figure at which point I will get a better deal. Seems like consensus is to wait. I will do that.

Remember, the AudiCare stays with the vehicle if you sell or trade it. It's a good selling point and if you keep your Audi, you will save some money on the scheduled maintenance over time. I've always opted for the program and have been very happy with the results.

My question was buy it now or wait to see what develops? I am only at 3300 miles, so I have plenty of time.
Do you think price will go up?

I would wait to buy it until your 15K mile service and see how the diesel mess shakes out. While the V6 TDI engines have so far not been announced as affected, investigations are ongoing. Worst case, the price will go up about $50 or so based on Audi care pricing history.
