Thanks nonetheless to you and DD.

100% agreed. It appears that this would not be beneficial for someone who doesn't drive say at least 15K a year.

We have an SQ5 on order and my wife will most likely drive it 5K a year. So, it will receive nothing but annual oil changes (may be a brake flush) for 1st 3 years up until its 15K service.

In our case, purchasing AC up front wont be that beneficial.

So does this mean that even though I will have my scheduled one year maintenance all they will do is provide an oil change? For 4 years, $800 seems a bit overpriced for oil changes...
