Replying to: heiko (Nov 13, 2008 6:32 pm) That being said, there are quite a few things that drive me crazy with this car. First, I have had to take it into the shop at least 6 times since March for a recurring programming error with the ESP and Adapative headlights. The display will give me a ESP fault, followed by the Adaptive Headlight fault, and stay lit from 2 minutes to a few hours. It is now at the dealer AGAIN as I write this comment for the same problem. The dealer's service department are consulting with Audi in Germany because they cannot figure out the problem here. When coming to any slow stop, the brakes SCREECH loudly. This also occurs with every one of the loaner Q7s my dealer has provided. Audi needs to do something about its brakes. In addition, I had to replace the front brakes on my Q7 (at a cost of nearly $800) at ONLY 15K miles (my old Lexus LX would go 40K miles before needing brakes). There is a very irritating rattle with the 2nd row seats any time we hit a bump of any sort (Audi Service claims not to hear it). The parking brake release must be pulled at least 3 times before it releases (not fun when you have carpel tunnel in your left arm). Every few days, with no rhyme or reason, the display screen between the gauges goes completely blank. It will work the next time I start the car. The gas mileage on the 3.6 engine is only 14.5 running around town, but I have gotten a consistent 23 MPG on the highway cruising at 70MPH. At this point, I only have 20K miles on the car, and I can truly say I am glad I leased it. I will not be keeping it when the lease ends. IF you are going to get an Audi, my recommendations would be to lease the car (if you are willing to live with the annoying issues). With Audi's spotty reliability record, you may want to bail out of any unreliable car in a few years. Also, if you can wait, I would recommend getting the 3.0 Diesel engine to get better fuel mileage. If you are purchasing, I would recommend getting the Acura MDX, or Lexus RX (if you do not need the 3rd seat). Also, when I was looking 19 months ago, I was quite impressed with both the Buick Enclave and Mazda CX9. Judging from what I have read in Consumer Reports, I would go for a Mazda, Lexus, or Acura.

Does anyone know what Audi is currently offering for a 2009 Q7 Premium Plus with sunroof lease? I would be looking at 3-years and 12,000 miles per year. I am looking for the residual, money factor, etc. Thanks.

I leased the base model from Rick Case Audi near Atlanta. It was advertised in the paper for $499 plus tax, tags, fees for 10k miles, 36 months. I got it for $549, including 7% tax, tags, all fees, 12k miles, 36 months; Audi pays for the first month; no drive off cost. Here are the details: Vehicle "cost" 37259 Acq fee 625 Gross cap cost 37884 Residual 19946 MF 0.00026 After I bought the car, I asked if the car was a loss leader. The salesperson said, "no, they're able to do the deal because Audi is offering them $3k for each car as long as they sell 20 Q7s and they're passing this on to the customer". |
