$740 Maintennance Program Is It Worth???
I have my 2009 A5 3.0 ive had it for nearly 3 months and now has 1500 miles, basically i wont use my A5 everyday, i predict ill probably put less than 10,000 miles a year, im afraid time will expire first rather then mileage, why should i purchase maintenance program for $740 and maybe do three oil changes before time expiration... Should i purchase maintenance program??

If you don't think you'll hit the milestones within the 5 year limit, skip the prepaid plan. I too am predicting less than 7,000 miles per year, so it didn't make sense.

That is, if you only have 7000 miles in the first year, they will still do the first maintenance for you? Instead of asking you to wait till 15000 miles?

I think the only real answer is "It depends".
AudiCare prepays for 4 scheduled services:
15K or 1 year since last service regardless of current mileage
25K or 1 year since last service regardless of current mileage
35K or 1 year since last service regardless of current mileage
and
45K or 1 year since last service regardless of current mileage
AudiCare will save you some money IF:
1) You expect to own the car for over 4 years and/or 45,000 miles
AND
2) You will only get your vehicle serviced at the dealership.
You could potentially save some money (in some cases a lot of money) by either doing some of the required maintenance yourself or having it performed at a good indy shop.
