Hi all,
Very excited that I'll be picking up my Q2 1.4TFSi Auto black on Friday (30th Dec) from Camberley Audi.
So I wanted to get opinions about costs when buying the Q2 from official Audi dealer.
I was offered paying upfront for servicing for 2 years which I've gone for and have been given 5 days free insurance.
To my mind, both of these seem a little stingy considering I'm getting a new car. There are plenty of manufacturers that offer 3 years free servicing and a year of insurance when purchasing new (my father got a years insurance for free buying a vw polo for example). Also the dealer suggested I may want a personalised plate but I'd have to go through third parties for that as they wouldn't give me the option.
Have I missed a trick, is there something I should have asked for up front or am I expecting too much from Audi? Any other freebies I should ask about when picking up my new toy on Friday?
Any advise would be great. thanks.

The free 5 days insurance is available to everyone buying a new Audi. I used it to cover me until my own company stopped thinking my personal plate was still on my previous car; a Porsche Boxster for which when I bought new provided NO goodies whatsoever!
In my experience of buying new cars you generally get incentives on those few occasions when they are short on sales. A car like the Q2 which has only just become available is unlikely to be short on sales.
Hope this makes you feel better about your purchase. Safe motoring.

Hi , how much for the 2 year service plan?

Also did u go for any other insurance like tyre , paint , gap insurance?

Just dug out the paperwork so I'm telling the truth here.
I took out a 36 month contract for £14.32 a month covering 3 years service and maintenance (not tyres) so that's £515.52.
Apparently it includes dinks, paint and scratch repairs in it too (up to a point).
I'll get back to you on the gap insurance, haven't sorted that out yet but previously I have bought gap insurance independantly of the dealer and found it much cheaper, about a 1/3 less.

ive just taken delivery of my car and have not gone for the service plan its a dealer service plan . 495 for 2 years and not really price competitive as . interim service and main only really adds upto 450 and so ill wait . all new cars get 5 days free insurance to get you time to sort cover . ive gone with aviva as cheaper than current insurer . had refund for time left on policy.

Wow that's steep, 2 year service plan on a 2.0 TDI Tiguan was £150.
That's the reason I walked away from the Q2, everything was an extra, Tiguan SEL provided all the tech in spec and you can get up to 14% off.
