[quote=Anonymous]Audi owner here. Never had it break down on me. The key with these cars is to do the maintenance as scheduled. That will keep things running smoothly. With Audi, go on their site and "build" an Audi Q5 SUV. It offers Audi Care for $1,199. That's pre-paid maintenance plan, and since it's considered part of the car price, you can roll it into your loan. What drives up the cost compared to a Ford is parts cost and labor cost. For example, in MD most routine service has a fixed labor length (defined by the state), like for example an oil change is billable as 0.75 hours of work. An Audi dealer's rate is $90/hour, while it will be $60/hour at a Ford dealer. Likewise, the (usually imported) parts needed in an Audi cost more than Ford parts. What that means is a routine service may be $500 in an Audi vs $200-300 in a Ford. It's more, but not unaffordable, and you can buy Audi Care to cover those costs. I'm sure BMW has the same option.[/quote]
