2024 Audi Q5 Premium Plus — 50k-mile ownership check-in

BoostedRoadie82Community StarterDec 19, 20252024 Audi Q5 Premium PlusPortland
2024 Audi Q5 Premium Plus, about 151,000 miles. Crossed 50k miles, so I figured I'd post what has actually broken, what maintenance cost, tire life, fuel economy, annoying quirks and whether I'd buy the same car again. Appreciate any ideas on what to check first.

I'd slow the salesperson down here. Two 2024 Audi Q5 quotes only help if both include tax, title, and the same options. That's the part that actually changes the decision. Time, temperature, and whether it's in gear are the notes that actually help a shop. If the title is messy I'm out, full stop.

Yes, with one caveat: GAP, paint, and nitrogen are optional until you run the 2024 Audi Q5 numbers without them. Do that before you talk monthly again. On “50k-mile ownership check-in,” that was the fork that mattered for me. This is from a 2024 Audi Q5 in Portland with 151,000 miles. That's the whole play. This is the filter I use when the thread starts repeating itself. If GAP is bundled I'm making them unbundle it.

The trap is a pretty payment hiding a worse car price. I would not wire money until I've seen the 2024 Audi Q5 and the title situation in person or via a trusted PPI. That's the part that actually changes the decision. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. I'll update if anything new shows up.

Treat this like a math problem, not a vibe. Keep sale price, trade, and financing split on the 2024 Audi Q5 so a “good payment” cannot bury a worse deal. Do that before you talk monthly again. This is from a 2024 Audi Q5 in Portland with 151,000 miles. Learned this the expensive way on a previous car. Sleeping on the number either way.
