Hi everyone, great forum.

I'd apprectiate some thoughts on the following spec. With a new arrival on the way I'm looking to upgrade from an A4 Sline black edition to a Q5.

From my research so far it looks like it could be well worthwhile to buy from new and get my exact spec as the discount on a 1 year old model doesn't appear great.

I'm thinking of going for

Sline 2.0TDI 177 S tronic
19inch tyres
Brilliant Black (using the saving from paint to buy the options below)
Light pack
Sound pack (can't do without DAB and B&O having it in the current car)
Storage Pack
Power operated tailgate
Side window blinds

I love the look of the 20's on the Sline plus but i'm concerned about the ride quality given the car purchase is desiged to make things easy with a new baby.

The ride on my A4 with 19inch wheels isn't great but i'm assuming the equivilant on a Q5 should be better.

Any thoughts on this setup?

Considering buying with cash rather than on finance this time - This spec comes out at £37,190. Do you reckon I could haggle this to more like £35k?

Cheers

Go onto online broker orange wheels who offer big discounts and either use them or ask your local dealer to price match it. s-line plus with no extras was in at £33,900.

If you are willing to spend time and phone a few dealers then they will match it or come close. I'm in north east scotland and even tried dealers in north England. Ended up not having too far too travel to get right deal and £2k less than local dealer I went to first.
