Dealer in Fresno has some 2009 prestige for low $40Ks while the 2010 base models are going for high $40ks. Are there any significant improvements that make the 2010 the correct choice? The only option that I truly want is the MMI NAV. We had an 04 A8L for a few years and I found the MMI and NAV to work well. I hope the Q5 will not be the maintenance nightmare that my two B5 S4s have proven to be.

no difference as far as i know. only the tire pressure monitoring system has changed slightly. as far as the maintenance goes, ehh...have had quite a few problems so far since the delivery on may 22nd.

If they have '09 prestige for low 40's, go for it, since they are normally 49k+

Take the 09 better steering feel without the servotronic and they've discounted it. It'll be alot more reliable than the S4s especially since nobody has come out with even a Stage 1 package for a Q5 yet, let alone a Stage 3+.
PS I want your Casablanca Avant.

Looks the dealers around here dont know anything about posting. They post prestige cars but turns out they are premiums. I knew it was too good to be true. Still, there is a demo car that has 6800 miles, premium with NAV. They are asking for $38,850. Decent deal? I was going to ask them for $38K even and throw in the extra $695 maintenance package.

Ask for it to be certified at that price and throw in Audi Care (maintenance) and that's a great deal! They should be motivated with the 10's hitting.

that's sticker price on a premium. i would drop it a couple of thousand from there . its used plain and simple. like all new cars , price takes a hit once it registered and its depreciated as being a 2009. offer them $35K and have them throw in the maintenance. negotiate to $36K and walk if they do not bite. then buy a 2010 somewhere else!

Premium starts at 37,200 (not including destination). Are you sure it's premium and not premium plus? If it's premium (base model) then that is not a deal at all.

It has to be a premium plus he said it has Nav. Probably one of the black on beige demos. That car had a MSRP of $45375 or there abouts.
