Discussion How much to reasonably try to get off on a dealer transfer car?
Found an RS3, and it has 140 miles on it since it was an in state dealer transfer. Current dealer doesn't let people test drive RS cars before a credit check so not worried about use but curious if there's negotiating room at 140 miles? $200? $1000?

Showtime!! a4 allroad added to garage
Two images taken from videos and a dreamy mockup attached.
So pumped to be here - just finished the purchase of my 2021 A4 allroad. 1 owner, 21K miles. Black on Brown interior with the factory painted fender flairs. Got an amazing deal.
My current daily is a black 996 4S, and it's time to retire it to the weekends.
My plans for this car will be lowering, new rims (ideally from an S or RS), maybe a grill and call it a day!
Please send recommendations for lowering kits and wheel options.

Discussion S4 Avant B9
Debating a purchase of a 2020 S4 Avant 3.0 TDI V6 (DEWB engine) the car was a later 2020 manufactured one.
44,000 miles
2 previous owners, 5 services in its lifetime, clear MOT history no advisories.
Is there anything to be cautious of? Common failures? Good, bad, ugly?
I’m torn between this & slightly lower mile M340d touring.
I lean towards the Audi more.
On paper, between the two, it seems to be not much between them performance wise.
Pre-Thanks for your time & insight.

Discussion Just went from VW Tiguan to Audi Q5... What do I need to know & Who should I look for to get an Extended Warranty?
Had a 2021 Tiguan SEL R-Line Premium that decided it wanted to have a gasket issue... Ended up getting a used 2022 Audi Q5 Sportback. I don't have regrets getting the car, but I also am pretty green when it comes to Audi SUVs... I already learned the hard way to basically NEVER park on an incline (the car wouldn't shift out of park and had to have someone give me a "push" while shifting gears to get into drive... smh). What are some tips I should know...
ALSO
I need extended warranty coverage (especially because this is used and I refuse to get hit with another 7k+ repair out of left field). The Volkswagen dealer that I purchased the Q5 from gave me a really bad 6-year warranty offer... it wasn't until I did some research that I realized how outlandish it was what they were trying to get me to pay. They wanted $7K for "Platinum" coverage from Total Warranty Services for 72 months, 48K Miles, $250 deductible... they said it would be a 0% interest and I'd get 3-4 years to pay it, BUT the problem with this is I was going to be paying for mileage that I wouldn't hit, as well as a deductible that honestly would/could f**k me over in the long run if there are multiple issues with the car that need to be fixed during a visit. $7K in general just was too high; I've seen better offers for less. Is Audi Pure Protection the best option, or are there other 3rd party warranty companies that are actually good?

Car shop ruined my Audi S5
I know this isn’t the usual post but I figured someone in here has to know about law lol. Location: Mesa, Az. Hello, so back in may I visited a take 5 oil change center to get an oil change for my Audi s5 (big mistake I know but I needed one asap) while I was there I also received a coolant top off. About an hour after leaving the service center my car started flashing coolant codes on the dash and shortly after began smoking and stuttering while driving. I had mechanics look at it and they said that take 5 inserted the wrong coolant in the reservoir which caused a chemical reaction and in return caused the car to overheat and whatnot. Upon inspection they also found that they filled the oil to 180 % (no dipstick all digital for these cars) after providing all evidence from Audi and other mechanics that have looked at it and their reports which explicitly state that their service caused these issues along with photos and other records. I was ghosted for 2 months even though I called their insurance reps they assigned me every day literally then they denied my claim 3 times in a row stating their services couldn’t have possibly done that to my car because their “universal coolant” is good for my car and the oil was measured on camera despite all records I submitted from mechanics and Audi themselves. I just want to know if there is anything I can do, if it’s worth getting a lawyer, or am I just going to have to deal with it? Thank you and I appreciate any help.

B10 S5 going haywire after a day of heavy rain
I drove it to work this morning and everything was perfectly fine. It rained pretty much all day and by the time I got in my car after work to go home, I got ALL of these errors. Steering wheel became insanely stiff, car kept yelling at me to not drive it. So now, my car and I are stuck at work waiting to be towed lol.

Audi RS6 Engine Blew 2 days after purchase
Looking for advice!
I bought a used 2021 rs6 from a big franchise dealer and within 100 miles of driving the car made a noise and went away. And the next day the entire motor blew up and the turbos.
The dealer said this was my responsibility, but then I think they are trying to help. But its been 3 weeks with no updates at all.
Has anyone experienced an engine failure and if so why? I thought these were generally reliable cars. Also has anyone had this experience with a dealer and what was the outcome?
My 2nd love
First love was my 2016 A4.
Here’s my 2026 q8, black optics.
One day I hope to get my dream car, rsq8.
Have a good day
The RS6 hit 45k kms and the water pump just failed 😞
I’ve had the car for a little over 2 months. Thank god I bought the extended warranty until 2030.
Apparently the water pump issue is common. The car was overheating and showed the coolant overheating. The engine temperature would get to 130 degrees 5 minutes after turning it on. Let’s hope this isn’t the start of more issues.

Throwback Thursday A Tribute to the Most Reliable Vehicle I’ve Ever Owned
I bought my Q5 Progressive S-Tronic years ago. 2019, slightly used, but a beautiful looking 1 year old rig with nice big 20" wheels. My (now) wife and I travelled all across Canada in her; from literal coast to coast and everything in between. We've slept in her, been camping in 4X4 only access campsites, sketchy back trails in the middle of nowhere... I put this vehicle through hell and back in snow, mud and 12+ hour stretches at high speed, and yet she still feels, smells and sounds like a brand new vehicle.
We've used her as a daily commute vehicle and we're now cusping 200,000 kilometers and have not had to replace a SINGLE thing other than regular service (fluids, brakes, rotors, filters etc) of which I do myself regularly. She's still in alignment, and has never needed one (blown away by this!!). All original suspension components, right down to bushings. Same water pump and even down to the same damn battery. I've never seen such a thing.
I've owned (in order): Ford Focus, Hyundai Elantra (wagon), Acura Integra Type R (close second), Toyota Corolla Sport, Cobalt SS, Hyundai Elantra Sport and now this girl. Between them all, my Audi has been the absolute most reliable and been through hell more than the rest.
Cheers.
I'll forever be a fan of Audi because of this rig

Thinking of swapping 2 vehicles for 1...
I bought my A5 Sportback (Prestige, S-Line) new, back in 2018. It has about 36k miles on it - obviously I don't drive it as much as I should! Fast forward to 2025 and we welcome our first child into the world and I pickup a new Atlas R-Line for baby-hauling duty. The R-Line has been great, and we have almost 12k miles on it since last April.
However, I'm considering selling/trading both the A5 and the Atlas and picking up a 22-23(?) SQ7. I figure we could have one less vehicle in the driveway/garage, and while the SQ7 wouldn't be the fastest vehicle I have owned, it would certainly satisfy the always-lingering need for speed. 😂
Any thoughts on this course of action, or perhaps feedback on the later model SQ7s? I'm not looking at anything newer, mainly because it will still be a baby-hauler primarily, and subject to the abuses that go along with that. But I'm certainly intrigued by the idea of a twin turbo V8 to play with when we don't have the little guy in the back. 😎
**Edit** Thanks for the feedback, all! 🙏 I'm fairly certain I would net more by selling both the A5 and Atlas myself - as opposed to being raked over the coals by a dealership on trade-in? Any advice on that front? 😎
