Default Audi Care Plan

Dealer quoted $740.00 for the Audi Care Plan. Is it worth it for a New Q5? Dealer told me that factory warrenty voided if you don't follow Audi maintence schedule while under warrenty.

is it worth it if you are leasing and not planning on keeping the car?

Scare tactic and possibly a breach of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.
Still I would get the Audi Care Plan.

Have them throw it in. They threw it in with mine. Tell them you'll walk if they don't.

Wish I was in your market- You paid $500 over invoice AND they threw in AudiCare? Nice! Wouldn't believe it but if your dealer had 12 on the lot...did they throw in anything else?

Yeah, a key chain. LOL. They had around 8 or so when I got mine. Those were sold (mostly prestige and premium plus). Now they have 13, a few prestige but mostly premium base. I've bought a lot of cars in my time, as has my family. I always get good deals from dealerships I am close with. I tried to get them to throw in the rubber mats, but they said they had no more room to throw anything in. I wasn't going to walk over rubber mats. LOL

First time I've ever purchased an upgrade in the finance room but this seemed to make sense. Hopefully it does. Fingers crossed.

I considered it also, but doing the 3 year lease, I won't even get to the 45,000 service and since they cover the 5,500, all I have to worry about is the 15,500. I'm pretty sure it will be under the $740 that I was quoted as well.

However, after saying all that, if I were buying, I'd get it without question.
