Default Purchase or Lease Q5

I am new to the forum. I currently have 3 months left on my lease for a 2017 BMX X3 and is looking to either purchase or lease the 2019 Premium Plus Q5! Do most people lease or purchase the Q5's? I know with the other brands, most lease due to the high cost of maintenance. I had driven a 2019 Q5 and loved the smoothe ride! I am hooked!!! I am going to make the switch over to Audi land!! I am debating on leasing first or just buying out right? I received a decent deal for a brand new 2019..

I would strongly reconsider switching to Audi. Maintenance costs are as high or higher than the other German cars. In any case lease it.

I ended up going back to BMW and financing another X3. Although I only got 12% off a demo... SMH, but i love the color combo.

What are you basing this on? I ask out of curiosity.

If you lease, get Audicare with it so you don't have to worry aboot maintenance costs. You can also get it if you buy the vehicle as well.

Brake rotors pulsing at 15000 miles. This is a known problem at the dealer I bought the car from. They have the issue with new cars that sit on the lot. The brakes pulse during mechanics test drive. Some they can correct by doing “anti- lock” stops. Others they have to replace the rotors.
Mine has the same problem, confirmed by the shop foreman, in front of the S.A.
They will not do anything about mine, however, saying brakes are a wear item. Told me to call Audi. I did, they said the same and told me to work with the dealer. Dealer finally said they would knock $300 off of a $1600 front brake job.
I have had enough Audi
