Car is very basic but has the Multi Media Interface (MMI). It also has the Bluetooth phone interface, which is just amazing. Also 2-zone AC is included with 12-way adjustable front seats. No seat memory.
Was lucky to find one of these big cars without the panoramic sun roof. Dealer said this one was the last without it so got lucky there.

Where did you get your premium plus ? is it TDI ? what dealership in NJ did you purchase your Q7 from?
I'm about to get 2010 3.6 prem plus non-TDI in NY area.
I'm still not sure if I should get TDI model. Do all gas stations have diesel fuel available? is it cheaper than gas?
your feedback would be appreciated
Thanks.
Do all gas stations have diesel fuel? I don't think so...
Did you post that price before loyalty $1000 credit or after?
If you don't mind can I ask who was your salesman?
Is there any other info that you could share before I visit Bell Audi? I'll try to go there this weekend. Thanks man...
based on your packages Edmund's invoice is $51558. So you got $558 bellow invoice. Good deal. Car_Man suggests to shoot for $500 -$1000 over invoice... I think it was ok to do that 3 years ago when I got my 1st Q7 but I would not do it right now in this economy.
$1000 bellow invoice sounds like a good deal to me
Good luck to you too and enjoy your new Q7
fuel cost the same, diesel engine has less power 3.0, not all gas stations have diesel proper pumps - need to search gas stations via navigation :-) need to make sure you get proper fuel in winter and summer and finally diesel models are more expensive. Also heared diesel drivers keep some gloves in the glove box compartment like a truck driver :-) The good thing about this - it's ecologically clean....
WOW that is an amazing deal. What dealer did you go to please?
Thanks,

MSRP is $57,875.
My price is $53,875.
So the deal is about 7% below MSRP (just under "invoice" as far as I can tell).
Is this a good deal?
I'm the owner of Q7 . Is it to expensive? bed design? any comments?
I heard that audi is paying dealers about 3k on leftover 2009s... and additional 1-2k if you are current owner of audi.....
so not a great price... and TDIs are in short supply now... very short supply...
2010 mostly they are offering 1000 over invoice or MSRP...
Mercedes offers $2000 cash on leases low rate and reasonable residual values on ML350. Also I think one of the important factors that Audi do not provide dealers cashabck . At the same time sales people are claiming that the Q7 inventory has been reduced drastically and the demand is way up which I think is BS.
In my opinion It reduced because very few people get Q7 at this rate and I think dealers stop ordering them in big quantities like they used to..
Gas mileage is still in the 16-20 mpg. The kids love to sit in the rear bench, roomy and cool with the panorama roof & rear a/c.
I knew the dealer wanted to move the q7. MSRP was over $68K.
I also knew they had a slight redesign (new LED lights) and new 3rd generation MMI computer system.
But I figure I'd save myself $5-6K by bying a new 2009 model vs. new 2010 model.
Purchased it with cash so deal was super easy. Although they wouldn't budge on throwing in the $740 AudiCare. I wasn't going to haggle anymore over $740
Dealer was in the Tampa/St. Pete Florida area.
Overall very happy with the Q7. I was looking at the V6 prem plus 2010. But that would have cost me around $51-53K from looking at what others were paying. I'd rather have the V8 loaded even if it's a year older model.
The changes they made for 2010 didn't justify me spending more money.
Not sure I ever heard those words together before except as opposites.
I feel like I am betting by choosing the diesel model, but that offers much better mileage and pays back in about 5 years, any comments?
Prior to that I had a BMW 528 Wagon (MSRP $53K). Same lease parameters made the car payment at $503/month. (walked out the door for less than $1k out of pocket). (I don't play the "cap reduction" game).
So here's my question. WHY ARE LEASES SO MUCH MORE NOW? Are money factors through the roof, are manufactures shying away from leases as they have a liability associated with them?
With the economy in the dumps and interest rates so low I would think leases would be even more attractive. Am I missing something or is the dealer true when he said that it's different now?
It seems that over the past 6-8 years leases have become less and less appealing.
With the credit crisis, many car makers just couldn't keep taking the hit.. Between the GM/Chrysler bankruptcies, and a lot of other makes getting out of the banking business, the price of leasing has gone up.
Many makes only lease through independent banks. Those banks have to turn a profit, not just subsidize the business of the automaker, like the captive companies..
Cheap leases are few and far between... 1% of MSRP is a good rule of thumb, but very hard to achieve in this environment. For most models, it makes more sense to buy than lease.

Yes, interest rates are lower but banks are not rushing to lend auto makers money at any price. Audi/VW is one of the stronger credits but they are feeling it too.
The suplly keeps getting lower and lower. I have looked all over (live in CA, and looked as far as FL and IL), and there are literally no more than a handful out there (with the options that I want).
No dealer I have spoken to will take less than MSRP (best they will do is honor loyalty incentives). The lease rates are not that great, and seem to end up costing almost as much as a purchase.
If anyone has been able ot lease or purchase recently, and can share their figures (model, options, MSRP, down, drive off, miles/yr, residual, and MF), it would be greatly appreciated.
I also heard that AFS is offering a 48 month lease now (instead of a 36 month max).
Car Man, any news on this, and what the residuals and rates are (for both lease and purchase for 48, 60, and 72 months)?
Thanks all!
I am not sure if any of you have used the American Express Car Buying Program- but its free and they give you a no haggle certificate for a price and its always somewhere between invoice and $1500 above invoice....for BMW x5 I got a price from the site of $9000 below MSRP.
