Used Q5 a good buy given emissions warranty?

I started another thread about my potential downsize from a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon to something cheaper and highway friendly. I originally was thinking of going back to a JSW TDI but would really like to have AWD. I’ve found several 2015s under $25k with 30k- 40k miles. While they may be out of powertrain warranty, the emission warranty will go to 120k which cover a lot of the major ticket items (I.e. turbo, fuel pump, dpf). Not sure if I would still need an extended warranty given the coverage through the emission fix warranty. To be this seems to be a great deal. Am I missing something here that I should take into consideration?

You are not missing anything. A low mileage Q5 is a great deal right now. I’d find one with the technology and sport packages, if possible. S-line even better. The 19 wheels are for comfort and the 20 inch wheels are for handling. Take your pick.
