Default Question about Audi Care

Will get my car soon and wonder if I should get the Audi Care plan. Seems a good deal, but I wonder if they will cover services from 15K to 45K OR every year. There is now way I will put 10K miles per year and the recommendations are 10K or 1 year, but the actual description of Audi care only says every 10K miles In other words, it's a good deal for me only if they will also doit yearly.

It will pay for the service at 1 year if you don't reach the mileage first, as it covers all "scheduled" maintenance. The brake flush, required every 2 years, is also included.

I see. So it's basically 45K miles or 4 years.

Got the Audi Care when I bought my CPO S5 and it covers scheduled maintenance items through 75K. Its a good deal. By paying up front they are taking about half off the cost. I paid $800 for mine on a 2011 S5.

Just to clarify, Audi Care covers 15, 25, 35 and 45K mile scheduled maintenance. Audi Care Plus covers the 55, 65 and 75K mile scheduled maintenance. Owners can also purchase Audi Care Plus after 40K miles although, it's pretty expensive.

I opted for it.

If you are leasing, it adds 1% to the residual, so really it's only $390 or so (depending on your lease rate) and that covers the first two visits easy, even on a low mileage lease.

Just did it on my new A5 this afternoon

Audicare can be purchased at any time, but at 15k miles is probably the latest date, since it will cover that service. I bought Audicare at 15k miles and they did the 15k service at no cost. If you can buy the Audicare in a no state tax location, you will save the sales tax, which I forgot to do and ending up paying over $900 with the tax. You don't need to purchase Audicare from your dealer, any dealer will do.
