Guys im thinking about pulling the trigger on a 2012 Q7 prestige S line with 21" rims give me some opinion everyone and here is a pix of a Q7 but this is not the S line Prestige package either black or a pearl white

 

this is how the prestige S line will look like

 

^ Not exactly. That is a Euro bumper and isn't available here.

What questions did you specifically have?

I can't give you an opinion on the 3.6 or TDi models because I have the V8 model but our 2009 has been a very reliable vehicle to us. It looks stunning in Ibis White and would choose the same color all over again if I had the choice. Service costs aren't exactly cheap either imo.

I'm not sure if it matters to you or not, but third row seating is rather small if you plan on having any passengers there, only children will be able to seat back there.

Last but not least, the new redesigned model is coming out late this year or beginning 2013 according to my dealer..you might want to wait on that.

 

they only come in a 3.0T or TDI. the S line Prestige package has more HP and more Torque. sucks they don't make a V8 no more but its ok. BTW u have pixs of the coming 2013 model?

 

Omg it's Mark!

 

Audi stopped offering the 4.2 after MY10. The S-line Prestige Package, doesn't come with more horsepower or torque. S-Line offers more agressive front and rear bumpers and aluminium inlays in your interior. Prestige means it comes with pretty much everything. I might be wrong but I believe Audi doesn't offer Prestige Pkg anymore, Premium Plus is the highest you can get.

Last but not least, I don't have pictures of the 2013 model..but I expect something alike the Cayenne/Touareg as they share the same chassis.


Hey Zack! We still haven't caught up on that lunch.

 

ummmm it does come with more HP and Torque i tried to call many Audi dealers around the area and no one had more stock on it. a member on here just bought a A6 and told me to try it there so i called and they told me they had only 2 in stock but was not at the lot when i went there today. Here's the spec of the Q7 premium vs the S line prestige

3.0T Premium feature highlights:
280hp, 3.0L Supercharged V6


Includes 3.0T Premium Plus features and:
333 hp, 3.0L Supercharged V6

3.0T S line® Package
The 3.0T S line® provides a sport-oriented look to match the performance of the 333hp supercharged engine. The vehicle is set off with elegant 20" five-spoke wheels with 275/45 all-season tires, adding to its sophisticated style. The 3.0T S line also includes S line front and rear bumpers, side valences, headlight washers, supercharged fender badging and S line interior doorsills.

 

As much as I love the Q7, I think I'd rather have the Touareg for a lot less. Still a fantastic looking SUV.

 

This is consistent with what they're doing for their other models in some regions.

In fact, I think that Audi is selling a 272hp 3.0T between the 2.0T and S4 in Europe. So I'm not surprised they're doing this with the Q7.

 

the Touareg is a bit smaller i think

 

There has definitely been some changes since 09 and 10 models. The S line wheels I have used to come in 295/35 and are 21'' wheels. If you don't have to get brand new, why not look at a 2010 4.2 S-Line? The V8 sounds quite good when you put your foot into it...the big downside is the fuel economy.

You might be right actually, about the engines though, had no clue Audi was doing this. Then again I had no idea you could get a FWD 2.0T A6.

on the Touareg, no third row seating and doesn't handle as nice IMHO.

 

i love the new car leather smell so probably somewhere this week ill finish up the paper work for a Glacier white Q7

 

Post pics.

 

sure will wish me luck

 

this is the actual pix of the car

 

 

 

That looks beautiful.

 

trying to work the deal right now

 

tire specs 295/35/21s

 

I saw a GL550 today ... I think I like that more than the Q7 for some reason.

But the Q-ship is going to be a great vehicle. Good luck!

 

i was never into the GL series the design of the truck is too plain

 

Definitely understand that. Hope you get the Q!

 

Not another one of these.

Buy it, then post pics.

BTW, Porsche Cayenne S would be a better choice in this segment IMHO. But then again, I dislike Audi's, so call me bias.

 

Porsche Cayenne throughout the years had so much problems thats y the 2 gen Cayenne is barely selling and its ugly IMHO

 

I love Q7s, especially with that S-Line package!

Hope you get it today!

 

im trying and im bored here the SOB aint trying to give me a deal

 

Do the shuffle dance and ask for more discount.

 

What's the sticker price on the car and what are you targeting to pay? Just curious!

 

MSRP $65,800 im talking down to 63k out the door but the old man said 67k with tax and title

 

i first said 60k out the door and he looked at me like i was crazy lol

 

have you looked up the truecar.com on the car?

 

Nope ima try it now thanks

 

Good God that is gorgeous. I have to get off my ass and install the 2010 LEDs sitting in my garage..

Ya, that's pretty much unrealistic in my opinion. There is no way you are getting 7k off that car. The dealer has to make a profit there too. I think anywhere around 65 out the door is actually fair in my opinion. Not sure how it works in your neck of the woods but down here Q7s are in extremely high demand so dealers don't even budge much.

Prices seem to have gone down a bit though, original window sticker on mine is almost 73

 

I just checked out truecar.com their saying 61k should be the price not including tax and I gotta go back there tomorrow I gotta pick up my daughter

 

Did you add up the packages into the truecar.com?

 

Yup I told me around 61k

 

Wow. Print it out and show it to the salesman. That's how people do it these days.

 

Those running boards look terrible.
