    Buying a new SQ5

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hello,

    I am switching after many years from Infiniti to Audi. I am looking at the last remaining new 2023 SQ5's and of course the 2024's. Any real differences for 2024 besides ACC, Lane keep Assist & Heated steering wheel as being standard?
    I hope all the bugs with app for remote start are gone?
    Anything that goes wrong with these cars at 5, 10, 15, 50, 100K and so on miles?

    Thanks!

    with how fast these are depreciating, I would look at a slightly used one.

    This right here. You can save a lot more than $1,500 and get a longer warranty with a CPO. It'll be just as cool and shiny.

    Anyone that’s only getting $1500 off on a new SQ5 is doing it very, very wrong.

    An example (not affiliated with this dealer at all, just a 30 sec Cars.com search):

    Interest rates on a CPO are killing me. The offers on the table currently for the 2023s are around 53k. MSRP around 70k. Not seeing the depreciation on them - at least from what I've seen on car buying websites. And KBB.

    Are 2023s/2024s notorious for warranty issues where you're going to want that extended warranty?

    No issues whatsoever with your 2022?

    Audi also has a $4,000 national sales credit going on now. Not sure if that could be combined with the cotsco offer as well. But you could go in to your local Audi dealer if your a Cotsco member and inquire or if not a member become 1 if you can take advantage of deal. You can always cancel membership later.

    Haven't found anything less than 4.32% with top tier credit. Figured Audi would get smart and do 0.99% overall today - not...

    Shit, dude, I'd take 4.32%. My CU only got me down to 5.6% last year when I purchased, scoring >800.

    New Audis are at 5.99% (2023 MY) and 3.99% (2024 MY) right now, in the Rocky Mountain region.

    Looks like some 24 models are 0.99%. It's like they don't want to sell cars....
