Is the Audi Maintenance Package Worth it?
I will be getting an A3 in December. Is the $700 3 yr maintenance package worth it? Do you have any idea what it covers as well? Any weblinks would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Well considering you get a few oil changes for free and they're $140 each. I think you get 3 of them so that will be $420 plus all the other services they offer. It's something to think about.

Lady told me it was worth 1300$ even though my jedi sense feels very strong bullshit here...but it looks like it is worth at least that.
Btw the dealer in Montreal told me it was 750$...you got it for 700?

Is it worth it?
Depends on how much mileage you expect for the period you have the car.
The services covered are (must be performed within 5yrs of in-service date)
25,000km
40,000km
55,000km
70,000km
I believe the plan pays for itself at the 55,000km service. Therefore, my advice would be:
< 55,000km = Don't take it, pay for the servicing
> 55,000km = Buy the Audi Care
The MSRP of Audi Care is $750

25,000KM 40,000KM 55,000KM 70,000KM SPECIAL TOTAL
A3 2.0T Manual $260.00 $160.00 $260.00 $160.00 $840.00
A3 2.0T S-Tronic $260.00 $160.00 $260.00 $160.00 $425.00 $1,265.00
DSG oil & filter
A3 3.2 $270.00 $160.00 $460.00 $160.00 $160.00 $1,210.00
The above is a table of the costs associated with the A3 maintenance schedule. You would save about $140 with the A3 2.0T if you keep it past 70,0000 km. You can have the cost of the package built into your payments if you purchased the vehicle.

^Yeah what he/she said. If you were looking at the included services at what Audi dealers charge for them then yeah it works out.
However the reg prices for service are waaay out there. I mean if you did these services anywhere else (including your own driveway) you would be well under the price of even the package. I mean $120+ oil change? ROFL. Though I'd love to support the cocaine habit of Audi dealers, I think I'd use my money elsewhere thanks.

Re: Is the Audi Maintenance Package Worth it?
I didn't see it mentioned yet, but you also have up to a year or 20K kms to buy Audi Care after you purchase or lease your car. It makes sense to roll it into a payment if you have one, but if you decided against it at signing and then changed your mind later, you can still get it for the current price.
