Hello

I am based in Toronto and new to this forum so would appreciate any advice.
I am looking to lease a 2013 Q5 Premium June or July 2013. I am a bit nervous about the maintenance costs which is why i want to play safe and lease rather than purchase.

Couple of questions:

Is there a preferred dealership i should visit to secure a sweet deal.... obviously want to get the best bang for my buck.

What the average service bill is when the car goes in for regular service calls at the dealership.

What is the average time between time of order and driving the car off the lot

Your advice is most appreciated.

If you are leasing - just get the Audi Care package as that covers your maintenance for the first 4 years or 75k km. The package is generally $750 but I'm sure as the dealer lots start to fill up there may be a promotion to include it.

I used Pfaff but I think others have had good experiences elsewhere including Mississauga and Mid-town. Alex is a frequent poster and works of Audi Mississauga.

I waited 4 months for my car but it was delayed due to the 3.0 engine choice. There are plenty of Q5s now on dealer lots and Pfaff actually allows you to view the inventory through their website. You are likely running into the cutoff for MY2013 orders as they will soon switch to MY2014 orders.

Your best bet is to figure out what options you really want and work with a sales rep you like to get most of those options. If you PM me I'm happy to share the name of the sales rep I use.
