My new Member of the Family has arrived!

After 6 months of waiting my new baby….I mean my wife’s new baby is here. Our Audi Q7 POS has been sold back to Audi (good riddance and will never buy an Audi ever again). Transport picks up the car this weekend and should be on my driveway early next week. Already got it scheduled for full PPF next week. My Wife and I couldn’t be more excited.

What was the issue with your Q7? We have a '17 Prestige with 74K that's been trouble-free.

We had problems with the infotainment system continuously freezing up and having to do a hard reset multiple times. We also had an issue with the air suspension and a rough idle issue that eventually led to parts in the engine being replaced. Also I just wasn’t happy with their service and customer experience. Especially when they told me wiper blades would be 200 dollars when the parts cost 70. I just wasn’t a fan.

Thanks. Well my dream car is probably more a six speed manual 992 Porsche 911 4s if I had to be honest lol. I have a good sales manager with Benz and I got the car for 1k off of msrp and I custom ordered the car.

Thanks! Yeah the Emerald Green color is one of my favorites; when we bought the 20 GLE we went with selenite grey but were going back and forth with emerald but I wanted to see it in person first and NOT ONE dealer had it so I could see. From the moment we saw it in person we were pissed because we loved it so much and couldn’t change. Clearly it all worked out in the end!

The S580 has been excellent, transitioned from a CLS 53 because I needed a highway car for long work trips and also space in the rear for clients and it has been perfect for that. Seats are excellent for long trips, the suspension is very comfortable and composed, handling is also surprisingly good for such a big boat, most likely thanks to the rear-axle steering, and I just love walking out and looking at it, its in my opinion the ONLY good looking car in its class. Looked at the A8 and 7er but knew this was the one. Took a minute to adjust to a touchscreen versus knob/pad, but infotainment is very intuitive.
