First since you signed- enjoy the new ride. Hope you don’t have the myAudi app bugs and problems that I’ve had since I took delivery- still in service. My Audi Appt doesn’t connect to car- no SOC, range, Plug N Charge not working and can’t Digital Key (and Card Key) to work. It’s a SW and Audi Connect backend issue as this has been problematic for a very long time going back to my other Audi eTrons.
Feedback for next time:
5.78% pre-incentive discount isn’t that strong. You could have gotten 6% just by being member of Audi Club of North America. Did you check the marketplace? I’m sure the brokers were doing more aggressive deals- deeper pre-incentive discounts, buy rate MF.
Recommend becoming Super Supporter here to use RateFindr to get the buyrate MF for your ZIP and all incentives or ask on Edmunds. Appears that MF was marked up- it’s higher than buyrate- even after you 1 pay discount. (max AFS markup is supposed to 40 bps). I don’t know MA market, but if buyrate is similar to CA this month MF=0.00032. Marked up to MF=0.00082 (then discount for 1 pay). But again- I don’t know what buyrate MF is in MA.
Signed! breaks down some of the numbers from your contract, but it doesn’t replace LH calculator. Since AI helped populate some of the data- for your own education- you should make an attempt and plug all those numbers into the actual calculator. Then, you will learn how your deal is actually structured.
Last comment- would have recommend getting AudiCare- 1% RV bump. $1049 for 3 services/3 years. $1049-$762.60=$286.40 net for 3 services. Sure EVs don’t have much maintenance, but year 2 is brake fluid flush and coolant change. You will spend more than that for sure.
Have you reached out to @Bostoncarconcierge ? He is MA-based broker that deals with Audis. He can get you a better deal on the Q6.
EDIT: NVM, it looks you already signed. Enjoy your new ride.
I havent signed it yet. Just used the calculator.

Can you remove from Signed! It distorts the database since it actually wasn’t signed.
Could you expand a bit more on the software glitches to check on ?
Already took care of that.
