Like I said, I've given all the help I can. I've revealed to the forum what I paid for my car and even what state I'm in. What more information do you want? My mother's maiden name? Sheesh!

This is news to me.

There's no program that I know of that will let you buy the 55k and 65k on a NEW car via Audi Care

There is Audi Care on CPO cars, and that covers the 55k & 65k.

But you can't buy that on a new car, only certified pre-owned used cars.

You can the buy the 4/50 Audi Care at any time, or any car. And it's stays with the cars Vin number and is transferable to the next owner.

How much am I going to pay for maintenance otherwise if I don't get the plan?

Thanks.
I did not find the Audi Care Plan economically justifiable for my situation.

I bought Audi Care 65,000 mile extension for my wife's 2007 A4 3.2. We had it bought after the lease by a dealer who certified it. That plan may not apply to others. It is an excellent car and should last a very long time.

Yeah, come on NMW1982, either join the forum and contribute or go do that trade for the RX350 you were talking about.

It would also draw strong criticism and complaints from neighboring dealers for siphoning away business while lowering margins for everyone.

This backlash would cause the dealer to raise prices and effectively kill any possibility for good prices in the future for other skillful shoppers.

I've also revealed enough information already. If you're not lazy or stupid, you could have figured it out.
Extraordinary deal? Do you really think your dealer is losing money on your sale My bet is that they are still making plenty of money or else you would not be driving your new Q5 right now. If you reveal your dealer's name and everybody here go to that dealer and demand that same low price, you dealer will send you flowers for bringing in customers for him. Do you have any basic understanding of how a dealership works? There is no backlash if one dealer sells more cars than another and it will not raise the price of cars in that region just because one dealer sells more car than another.
