i have a 2019 B9 SQ5, and it cost me $48k CAD and had 48k km ($35k USD and 30k miles). I bought it in May. Exact same as the one you noted above, and fully loaded except for air suspension. Still had warranty, which expires in November, and had the Maintenance package on it still, which I have one more service to use on it. The price you noted above is way too much.

I really like the new front fascia on the b9.5 - but that is just me. I also really like the old style circular S digital dash instead of the b9.5 hockey stick.
you win some, you lose some.
I would look into - CPO def but also to see if the one you're looking at has Audi Care. That transfers and when I bought my 2018 A5 6spd a few years ago it came with Audi care. I didn't even know until it dropped it off at the dealership for a major service and the bill came back free.
that was a nice surprise.

Honestly - the VCP was one of the reasons I started looking at SQ5's to begin with and have loved it ever since I got mine. I got lucky and found one that didn't have the sport package listed. Every time I found one - it was gone or reserved in 24 hours. I just happened to look up this paint code and noticed the red calipers and got the VIN and requested the window sticker from Audi USA. Sure enough - Prestige with S sport package, Sport adaptive air suspension, and sport rear differential were all listed clear as day. I went back to look and they had dropped it another $500. LOL! I was not about to tell them, so I snapped it up. Defiantly does not ride like my X5, but it is not supposed to and I have it in dynamic/sport all the time - so that is my fault. 19+ get the charging cradle / phone box which I wanted too. I think ACC became part of the standard Prestige package in 2019 or 2020? I wanted a HUD - so I was only looking at Prestige models.
Smoke is HARD to get out. And as a non-smoker - you'll smell it. Better to wait and get everything you want.

Agreed. Even though the odds of having the rocker arm go bad are still low, the cost if it happens is just to big of a risk.
FYI - Vag Technic just posted another video of a failed engine on his YouTube channel. This one was out of a UK 2017 SQ5. You can see just how much work is involved when one goes bad.
