Do you mind sharing your trade details? I'm getting out of a fully loaded Inscription T6 with 26,000 miles. Curious what you got for the car

MyLuv4Audi

Managed to negotiate 7.5% off MSRP but the dealer is in Riverside, CA though. Happy to share the dealer/sales specialist contact if you are ok with the commute.

I got 7%. 7.5% is the highest I've seen but BTW Prestige models will have a lower discount because they are rarer.

9% off MSRP on a built to spec order. Made the deal in April. Taking delivery end of July

They are only rare because dealers just tend to order less of them for stock. A dealer could order all Prestiges if they really wanted.

Off topic...I am debating between the Q7 and XC90, so curious to know if you had any issues with the xc90 that u r considering the trade only after 26K miles. Thanks!

We did have some issues but wasn't terrible. About what I expected for a major overhaul on a 1st year vehicle. I will say the software has gotten better and has eliminated a lot of the early gremlins. By the time the Audi comes in it will be about 2 years with the Volvo and 30,000 miles. To be honest I just want two Audi' s in my garage

The Volvo is not a bad car and has a lot of great features and right now you can get a fully loaded T8 for the price of a fully loaded Q7 + you get the tax credits on the Volvo so it's a pretty good value. I for sure would not be comfortable owing the XC90 out of warranty period though. And the Volvo vs. Audi dealership experience (service wise) gap is huge.
One more point, if I sell the Volvo now I won't have to buy new tires or renew the registration which is about $2K so the timing works out pretty well.

I really wanted a 2018 Q7 bad but the lack of storage is a deal killer for me and my wife. Do you think the reliability of the XC90 has improved a lot? I live 80 miles from the dealership so to take it in for service is a PITA. There are a few owner's issues brought up on the XC90 but then again all forums seem to have their gripers, and rightfully so.

New gen XC90 is a great car with terrible reliability on the Sensus electronics system. If you don't mind being stranded or driving with constant system reboots then go ahead and get one.

How can be lack of storage for small things be a "deal killer"? It is so unimportant issue compared to ton of other things you have to evaluate when buying a new car.
My brother owns a Volvo, and let my neighbors swedes forgive, but their "solutions" especially for electronics, are so "short-sighted" and strange, that you will never see something like that on German cars.
I don't say that German cars are error free, but they seems to be undergone much more testing.
