Default is this a good deal on a 2018 Q5?

A pre owned certified 2018 Q5 2.0 T premium plus I'm looking to buy has 7,194 miles and the sales person gave me a price of $42,162 and that is before paper work dues and taxes(my city has a 8% sales tax). The sales guy said this car was only used for a courtesy/loaner car. The exterior is white and interior is brown(not sure if this has any factor in determining price). I definitely will negotiate the price down of course but I want to know what price OTD I should aim for. I'm thinking 38k-40K$ OTD price. what do you all think? I plan to trade in a 2014 Honda Accord with 48k miles too and I want to know when I should bring up that I have a car to trade in. I plan to put down 10K$ and finance the rest. I have excellent credit. what's everyones opinion?

You do know that a courtesy/loaner car = rental car don't you, won't say any more.

I know what you mean. I know who ever gotten behind the wheel, that person has probably abused the car but it only has 7k miles though. But yes, that was one of my main concern. thanks for the reply!

I would be more worried about buying one owner car from a person that did not maintain the car no oil changes wrong fuel no service vs a Audi courtesy car that people get that also own Audi cars and the full service is performed by Audi. This is just my opinion.

Since when have you seen a full service done on dealer loan cars, they are on the road every day and are only quickly looked over just before being flogged off as demonstration or Audi approved low mileage used cars. I have seen more coffee over the seats and carpet of the ones I have been given then in a starbucks. And gutter rash, must be the dealers optional extra for all load cars.
Agree with why would a low mileage vehicle with one owner be up for sale, repo, lemon, who knows but you can always seek out the history of that vehicle from the first owner and ask.

To give you an opinion, I would need to know what options you had and what the sticker price was.

I would asked over at Edmunds: https://forums.edmunds.com/discussio...and-prices/p66

But for pre-owned- you typically won't get the Audi Loyalty, Season of Audi discounts, etc. It would have to be a much better deal IMO.

Good luck.

We paid $43k for a brand new 2018 premium plus fully loaded minus larger wheels.

So I would say no.

I guess the other thing to consider is what is the MSRP on that vehicle with the same options?
