Everything's a gamble, Ya know.

I just had the 15K service on my 2015 Q5. Cost would have been $441.35. The AudiCare cost me $800.00 which I opted for when I bought the vehicle. I always felt you have more bargaining power, if you choose, the earlier you start negotiating. Once you wait until 14K miles, you have no leverage. I'm sure they feel they're going to service your car either way unless you're comfortable with changing and purging the fuel filter which requires you to buy the software to do it. I think it's an excellent deal if for no other reason there should not be a warranty problem due to "improper" maintenance for the 4yr./50K. Keep in mind this is a high performance diesel engine, not a GM 3.8L.

There won't be much negotiating on Audi Care as there is very little profit margin to the dealer. For those that got it "free" or at a discount at time of the car purchase, they could have received an equivalent amount off the car without it since the dealer has to pay for it. There are no free rides here.

I agree. I think it's a good deal overall.

I'm in pretty much the same situation as the OP. I just had the 5K done..and will wait..to buy the Care package..I know that between 2014 and 2015 the price went up around $200 for the TDI engine...Not sure when the prices are re-determined.>>Anybody know that?

The new price is released just before the next year models are due to arrive.
$200 for Audi Care in one year - are you sure? I know on the gas engines it's always been $50 or less year over year for the standard Audi Care (not the Plus or Select).

$839.00 when new or at 15k miles.

It's because they changed the pricing tiers and separated out the TDI versions into a group with the S6, RS7, A8, R8, etc for $1,159.

The other tier with the regular cars actually went down from $860 to $829.
