2013 and Earlier - Audi Q5 Prices Paid and Buying Experience

kond

Here is the quote I have received:

MSRP: $45,940 (Premium Plus + Navigation Plus + Floor Mats + Gray Pearl)
Quoted: $42,750 (with $190 Doc + Audit Care $790 + Tax and Title) -> $46,501

Is that a good price? This is 2010 model, they want to get rid off!!!

hikeleader

42,783.00 is invoice and for a 2010 they want to move you should pay more under invoice.
I paid under invoice for a 2011 PP in NJ.
Tell them to throw in the Audi Care and I think you'll have a nice deal.
If you already own an Audi I think there is a loyalty rebate too....

kond

Invoice Price I see as: $43,194 (Dealer Cost $42,842).
I will definitely ask them to include Audi Care. Let me see what their response will be.
No I don't own Audi before. This will be my first Audi.

big difference on a 3.2 between 2010 and 2011.... they need to give you at least 10% off to offset the depreciation hit you are taking. Test drive a 2011 and see the difference.

I also like Prestige Q5 with White and Beige interrior. I come to 2 dealer place. They both found the only one on east coast. And they are about 200 miles from my area. So the price is not that good. The MSRP is around $ 50800. I got $ 48600 before everything. Which I think is not a good deal. I think the main issue is this is the only on car available for that color combination.

recently purchased gray/cinnamon 2.0T Plus with Nav and 19" wheels in VA (3.2% tax).
44500 OTD including audicare, mats
I know this is above invoice, but was this reasonable/competitive?

Too bad Audi dont make alot of Beige interrior,most of them are black, I shopped for 4 difference daler in the SF bayarea and only see one in steven creek had that only one. But consider if you pay $48600 for a 2011 that your car depriciation will be less than those who got 2010 becasue the 2010 price will drop in couple month and your won't drop for another 1.5 years. So I mean if you pay couple thousand more for 2011 you will have the best value car than if you get a 2010 now.

stube

has anyone bought a Q5 in the Chicago area? What kind of discount to MSRP have buyers been getting?

guntho

2011 3.2 premium plus with navi, b&o, side airbags, and a couple of other minor things..... for 43850 plus tt&l...... is that a good deal?

lilhenna

I'm ordering an Audi Q5. I believe I'm getting a stellar price; however, I figured I'd ask to be sure:

2011 Q5 Premium Plus 2.0T White Exterior, Tan Interior
$38,309 - Audi Loyalty of $1,500 on the 2011 Q5

Total before taxes and such: $36,809

Yay? Nay?

Do I need the florr mats? Anything else I "need?"

I was searching around Chicago trying to get an OTD under $40K. It seems that the invoice that dealers talk about is about $400 higher than edmunds -- they said it included a dealer cost. I am just wondering the invoice that people refer to in the forum is the edmunds invoice or dealer invoice... I can get the sell price $500 above dealer invoice, but then things get tougher...

guntho

2011 3.2 nav, B&O, side airbags, tint, audicare for 44,250 +ttl my price went up from before cuz of tint and audicare,,,,,,,,so is this a good deal? if not,,, too late now cuz the deal is done........but I just need reasurance I guess.....

2011 Q5 2.0 T Premium - MSRP $39080
Meteor Grey - Grey interior
Pano
Bluetooth
iPod
Wheel locks

Got emailed a "sign and drive" offer from a dealer in LA for and took it to local San Diego dealer and they matched it. Dealer paid DMV, paid 1st payment for us and I paid no security deposit... so I paid zero drive offs. We had 2008 Yukon to trade in and owed $27200k to GMAC. First offer for Yukon was $24k and after some quick negotiating we got $25500 so only needed to roll $1700 into lease.

Also got Costco rebate that is $500 over invoice. Also used a "conquest rebate" to get another $750 off invoice so we got Q5 cap cost under invoice.

48\15k lease for $630 per month (including tax). ZERO out of pocket.

Did I get a fair deal?

azkaban1

cresearch

I got the same model (2011 Audi Q5 2.0T Premium Plus with Navigator) in gray color for $42,500 in Indianapolis too.

awf_axis

Just drove home a Q5 last night. Great vehicle but has so many functions and features, it will take a while to get it figured out.

2011 Q5 2.0 - Prem-Plus, Q-Gray, Nav, B&O, 19" wheels, matts, msrp $45,640
Selling at $42,176 / (Inv + $500), then minus $750 (conquest cash).

For my region, this is as good as I could get. Live in Tahoe, so my shopping area is Reno and Sacramento. This deal came from Sac.

cy714

I would like to know if I am getting a fair deal.

2 Offers:
1. MSRP $40515, Invoice $38133. They are offering $39800 with an excellent trade-in price (Kelly Blue Book value)
2. MSRP $40375. They are willing to take $38500, but I have to wait because he has to order the vehicle. Don't know what they are giving me for the trade in yet. Will know by Friday.

Any comments will be appreciated.

flight1988

Am I getting a good deal?
I pick up my audi q5 2.oT white/premium plus/ Nav/ 19" wheel/ wheel lock
Want a B&O too, but no one has it within CA. The closest one is in TX.
MSRP: $44155
Invoice about: $41877
I paid: $39826
OTD: $44750
I think it is a really good deal.

oneo10

Was that with any discounts liek the loyalty rebate?

flight1988

no, I don't have any audi before, so I don't get any rebate at all.

ramirami

Decided on getting 2011 Black Q5 2.0 Premium Plus, and plan to order it tomorrow? I am thinking of 500 over invoice as a good price (plus 1500 for loyalty bonus as I am a current Audi owner).

Is this a good price or have people gotten lower?

I plan to visit McGrath Audi. Any experiences with them?

stube

sounds like you got a great deal. What's conquest cash and how do you get it?

speedracer10

So I was ready to sign for a custom order for a Q5 2.0T Premium+ with the following options:
Nav
Tow Hitch
B&O
Wheel Locks

I had agreed with a price of $500 over invoice and then the dealer notified me that there would be an additional ~$400 in fees (PDI & one other).

First question - is $500 over invoice a good deal?
Second questions - should I have to pay these additional fees on top of the $500 over invoice? Is this normal?

speedracer10

Does anyone know if it is still possible to get Conqest Cash Back on the Q5? Are there any other rebates that I might be able to take advantage of? (This would be my first Audi, so I don't have the ability to get a Loyalty discount).

Thanks,
--Speed

ramirami

I ended up paying these ~400 fees too. Not sure what its about

micosilver

It doesn't look like anyone is monitoring this thread, so I will pitch in, and do my best to anwer most common questions.
First, I am an Internet Director at an Audi dealership in SF Bay Area. I am not supposed to post my name or contact info, but I am easy to find by my username.

Dealer invoice: when you look up dealer invoice on Edmunds.com, there is a disclaimer regarding ad fees:
The invoice price does not include any fees that may be charged by the manufacturer to dealers in a particular area of the country, such as local advertising fees, dealer association fees, or docking and storage fees. Edmunds.com does not track or provide such local fees.
If a local fee appears on the invoice, it is an actual cost that the dealer paid to the manufacturer when buying the vehicle. In other cases dealers may choose to write in their own ad fees on the consumer sales contract. However, in either case these local fees are a part of the dealer's cost of doing business.

It is normal for the actual dealer invoice to be $500 higher than Edmunds invoice. If a fee shows on actual dealer invoice - it is a legitimate fee, and if you negotiated a price base on dealer invoice - you should pay it.

Conquest cash: rebate available to current owners of BMW, Mini, Lexus or Mercedes vehicles - must present unexpired official state registration or incurance card. $750 rebate towards 2011 Q5.

Loyalty cash: rebate available to returning Audi customers and household members, must present unexpired official state registration or incurance card. Cannot be combined with Conquest cash. $750 towards Q5 lease or $1,500 towards purchase.

Regarding "good deals": don't expect to get it below invoice, because this is a hot model, sells faster than they can make it. Let a dealer have $500-$1,000 profit, and everybody will be happy.

I went to 2 dealships in LA, and they are all willing to sell their cars below invoice price.

micosilver

I went to 2 dealships in LA, and they are all willing to sell their cars below invoice price.

But you didn't buy any - why?

wmei

yes. there is a $1,500 cash discount if you currently own an Audi or your friend owns one and you sure you could use his/her address to register first and then change the address on DMV website. it works.

wmei

I bought my 2011 Q5 2.0 premium plus in S California for $42,309( invoice price), original MSRP $44,630 and they offered loyalty bonus as well.

Go ahead man, you can get it on the invoice price.

I did get Invoice (but invoice included ~$400 for the above mentioned charges). Q5 is in transit

speedracer10

Thanks so much for the excellent insight.

So I am very close to signing on the dotted line (really just need time to get to the dealership). I believe that I have a great deal as some folks seem to include the dealer fees as part of the invoice price and others do not.

I am now getting ~$500 over invoice (inclusive of all fees, except TTL) on a custom order Q5 2.0T.

Thanks again to you and the rest of this board! Very insightful!

Cheers,
--Speed

wmei

Wow...this is a greattttt price!! how can you get a 2011 one way under the invoice price? Did you get the bonus cash or conquest cash ?

wmei

I didn't pay any extra charges on the invoice price...i bought it on Aug 26th, very end of the month...might help a lot to push the sales people to lower the price and make the deal.. Did they give you Audicare plan for free?

ramirami

no..did not get the AudiCare.

I got Black Q5 2.0 Premium Plus + All weather mats/ cargo liner.

MSRP: 40515
Invoice : 37740 (on carsdiret), 37995 (truecar), 38140 (what dealer said, includes the $400 fees stuff). So I paid $38140.

Also got the $1500 loyalty discount, but that was on after tax price.

tips4ls

What is a good lease price for this in Seattle area -12k yearly mileage,42 mos- no nav, no other extras ?

olma

on August the 18th , I got my audi Q5/ 3.2l / 2010 for $42,250 ( MSRP $47,090 ) ....the loyalty reward was also used...financed it through the Bank of America ( the cheapest rates ) , with 20% down for 3.25% APR for 72 month ..... is it a good deal ?!;)))

tezzz

Can you email me more detail about the deal and name of the dealer plz?
tenzo7700@yahoo.com
Thank you

tjclaro

Im new to this forum... Looking for pricing imfo. for the Mass. area or even surrounding states. It seems like the q5 is a popular car in this region and the dealers are not to willing to go out of their way to give you a great deal, as compared to some of the deals that i see posted on this forum. How much should i expect to take off the price of a q5 with a msrp of aprox 45,000?

oneo10

So was that $42,309 before the loyalty bonus ($1500) or including the bonus?

zgu

Hi flight1988, can you telll me the name of the dealer.. I am also in CA. Thanks

wmei

It was before loyalty bonus. $42,309 was the pure invoice price. Sticker price was $44,630, including premium plus package, teak brown metallic paint, 19' wheel, wheel lock and MMI navigation system.

Loyalty bonus was deducted from the outdoor price which was $47,895 (9.75% tax in LA).

tsc01

Ramirami...... what town in the Chicago area was the audi dealer. Also, did you go through the internet or did you work directly with a sales rep?

Thanks,

jps1010

Hi,

Does anyone know if the Conquest Cash is still available in October? I spoke with a dealer today and he said they were no longer offering it for a 2011 Q5. I would like to hear it from someone else before I take his word for it.

Thanks for the help.

darylnet

This sounds like a great price. Can you shre name of salesman and dealer? And if anyone elso was able to buy a Q5 at a similar price, would you be willing to share name and dealer? Thx

mcfeagle

Can I ask which dealership you purchased your Q5 from?

mcfeagle

I ask what dealership you purchased your Q5 at because I am in the market for a 2011 Q5 Premium Plus and would love to work with the leadership you went through. Sounds like you came away with a pretty good deal and had a good experience

Thanks!

jwalter007

I've been reading all these posts & I have to give my opinion on the whole dealer invoice thing. I know owners of several different car dealerships. All are extremely well off. I mean EXTREMELY well off.
I doubt they get there by making 500 -750 per vehicle.
Also, the sales guys make about $200-300 per sale & the finance guys do really well too. These guys claim over $150K/year. Even if you half that, its still hard to pay all those bills making 1-1.5% per sale.
If I had to guess, dealers make 1500-3000 at least, per sale plus money back from the factory for hitting certain sales goals.

awf_axis

Sorry for the delay. Have been in Cancun this past week, battling hurricane Paula briefly and all that. Didn't pay attention to web activity.

The dealership is Niello in Sac. Not supposed to provide peoples names, so I'll respect this rule. However, my first contact was via email.
