Deal done. 9.5% off before rebates and allowance, 14% off combined. Apparently Audi only would allow for 9 MSDs.
I texted Ivan because I initially thought my friend was going to purchase, and her dealer gave a $1500 discount haha! Ivan is amazing btw, super responsive and 10% off without any nego which I thought was more than fair. He just can’t lease out of state so I had to deal locally.

With that much down in MSDs I’d want to pay a lot less, especially as the Q7 has been out for 3 years now. Have you looked at the outgoing Cayenne? I’ve seen significant discounts, especially on demos. SQ5 might be a better deal if you can live with just 5 seats as those models aren’t selling fast.
I ran the numbers buying and still no good. Audi promo is like 3% for 72 mo making the payment $950/month. If she goes to trade it in after 3 years, she would have paid over $4000 more in payments in the hopes of getting a value close to the residual. Even a cash price with full residual given at trade in is risky. This is NY/NJ. Just try not to get in an accident from some idiot driver. The value would tank. Cayenne might be a better option actually but no 3rd row
For that much money on the MSD and $837 monthly, if I needed a 3 row SUV, I would get the Land Rover Discovery.
Land Rover would be more luxurious & rare compared to the Audi. Better interior for sure.
The full sized Discovery Luxury pkg is an much better driving car with features like massage seats that heats and cools plus it has a supercharged engine like the SQ5…
thanks that’s a better option than the cayenne now. Just got off the phone with my porsche person and he said Porsche just dropped the residual 12% on them this quarter for the outgoing Cayenne. no lease cash or incentives to help offset.
I hear what you all are saying, and it’s a lot for a q7.
I disagree with Discovery being a better vehicle overall but it is subjective. If I were OP, I would stretch my budget a bit and get a full size base Range Rover .
Hornburg Los Angeles , Hornburg Santa Monica have 1050 monthly with 5k Das all year long for full size for 10k miles. I am sure there is room for negotiation. In fact , I have seen loaners offered as low as $850. Yeah it’s considerably higher but not double …
