Going from a smooth running V6 Audi/VW Diesel to a 4-cyl Mazda would be a tough move for me, but maybe my impression of Mazda is wrong? I wouldn't be in any hurry to get out of the Q5.
How would "good guy" service guy have a clue. I don't believe anyone's had a PC2 car repaired yet, and if they have, there is very little data on them.
I am. I have an A7 and Q5, both scheduled at Beaverton Audi.
I have a 2014 A8L and a 2016 Q5 on the operating table now, will advise if the patients survive.
Thanks for the info! I will give Wilsonville another try if they still are clueless I will give Beaverton a call. Just want this done and over with!!
I am starting to have Q5 TDI seller's remorse, and I have not sold yet! I really love the power and ride of my Q5 TDI. But I am approaching 70,000 miles, and I fear the cost of maintenance is going to be quite high as items start to break down.
I was impressed with both the VW and Audi dealerships in Beaverton. I live in the Gorge and bypass the VW dealership in Gresham after such pitiful service.
The X5 diesel isn’t bad. There are a lot of used ones that are priced well.
Isn't the X3 the equivalent model to the Q5? X5 is a 3 seater. I am looking at some X3's online now.
Wilsonville is now scheduling
booked for the 25th! You can get the X5 with an optional third row.
When I was looking at a GMC diesel pickup, I informally offered "mid 20's". I would take that, considering I have almost 70,000 miles.
Mine is a 2014 TDI Prestige S-Line with the adaptive cruise control package. It has 51k miles on it. Nada clean trade is $37,600, rough is $34,225, and retail is $39,825. He offered me $25k on trade.
That is a crappy offer. Mine is a Premium Plus.
That is a poor offer for a trade in, but we have to remember there isn't a lot of data on these cars right now AND trading a vehicle is typically the best way to lose money.
Privately selling a vehicle these days can be a nightmare. Any suggestions? For this guy trying to sell his A8, it ended badly:
Very sad, thankfully not something that occurs very often.
Is that just for Prestige model or all models?
I think it’s Audi Q5 TDI’s. There aren’t many out there for sale that aren’t “new” at a dealership.
Does that help or hurt our resale value? Supply/demand indicates that should help us?
Run it through givemethevin, they will shoot you an immediate cash offer.
Man, those trade in values seem way high on your Q5 being that it has 51k miles. There are/have been many Q5 TDI's with less miles for sale (retail) in the mid to low 30's. I think you will struggle to sell/trade if you expect those numbers.
The prestige and s-line packages add a lot, but the adaptive cruise package adds another $1500 to the trade-in value.
They don't give you KBB price. Its always way lower
