Thanks Paul! Haha, man I couldn’t tell ya 😂

My wife sais if it had gas I drive it.

Wow you too??? 🤣

My wife said, she could drive anything that is driveble… Me.. really ? …

Well we trash house they trash car… guess we are even😂😂😂😂

How is it going and at how much miles was it at?

Bought it at 43k kms, has 60k now. Just had the supercharger clutch done under warranty, no other problems. The clutch was a known weak point and has been revised by Audi five times. Not a deal breaker for me. Will probably tune it in a couple years.

@@Oklawolf meaning that I can expect it to likely have no problems when I will buy a new. Well thank you so much for your time. Many prayers.

I'd probably buy one of the new ones tomorrow if I was in the market. The newer turbo V6 seems pretty reliable. I don't like touchscreens but the Q7 I have now is such a good fit for me I wouldn't let that stop me from getting one. I'm going to keep my 2018 until they have an electric version.

2018 over here, I can say my dream came true. I can see myself with it forever 🙏🏼

bushings? Which part is this? I have a 17 with an extended warranty. Should I be looking at this and how will I know if/when they fail?

Thanks dude!! What dealer did you end up going to?

It’s 6 months later, are you still happy with the deal you got? Any hidden/unforeseen complications present themselves after the purchase?

Thank you!

Exact same as mine

About to pull the trigger on a 2017 with 61K on the clock. Great Video

@@Potterpalooza316 Awesome!! And I appreciate it man

These are pretty damn solid cars. Only real issues are carbon buildup and water pump. You can have the carbon cleaned, and just keep an eye on your coolant level

@@NotSoHandyCarGuy Thanks :)

@@NotSoHandyCarGuy Is the water pump an engine-out job, or can it be done with the engine in place? I have heard that when the engine is removed to replace the timing chain, mechanics typically replace the water pump as well. Is that because it’s just easier to replace the pump when the engine is out?

Thanks for the info, where did you find the info on the engine being a race derived engine? That's interesting

@@gixxr88 at first a sales person told me and I didn’t believe it until I spoke to an Audi engineer which told me the same. Just think of Audi’s V8 and 2 less cylinders ;). It’s. Similar concept of the R8. The V8 is pretty much 2 cylinders less than the V10. Audi’ 2.0T is derived from VWs 2.0TSI GTIs only only visual difference is the position/direction of placement and size.

@@BocaAtractivo82 but a v8 doesn't necessarily mean it is a an actual race derived engine

@@gixxr88 you said ‘actual’.I didn’t. Perhaps you should look up the definition of “derive” ;)

@@BocaAtractivo82 You said it's a "race derived engine" which race engine was it derived from?

Congratulations good taste. Please keep us updated and thanks for sharing.

Update?

@@gangnem4774 rented it out on Turo the guy drove without coolant and blew the engine! Bought used engine 2019 with 57k miles for 6000$ off ebay labour was around 4k. Dealership returned my 10k down payment for this issue with coolant since it was preexisting damage

Now drives like new

100,000 kilometers is nothing for a car, basically just 4-5 years of driving for a normal family. Hard to tell if a car is reliable with such low mileage.

Hi. I have 160,000 miles! Should i change fluids in transmission? Just bought it 😊

​@@ShortFunnyTales I would recommend changing the transmission fluid. Did the car come with a comprehensive service history? What had the previous owner(s) done with regards to servicing the transmission?

@@ngw1976 not sure. Dont see much carfax history. Oil changes etc only

​@@ShortFunnyTales Change of transmission fluid is not recorded in the car's on-board digital service history (since replacing it isn't part of standard maintenance procedures). If the previous owner(s) had it done, you should look for documentation in the form of bills and/or printed service reports.

Absolutely! 6 ft tall!

Absolute beast of a car. The sleeper of sleepers. The only sleeper that comes close is the 03/04 Infinity M45. Google it, I had one and NO ONE knew it had a 4.5L V8 under the hood. I miss that car so much.

I have had an x5 and a q7. X5 by far the worst car I’ve ever owned for the money. Q7 hands down the best

​@lancastergerard why and which year is the x5? I'm in the market for a 2019+

Not cousin has x1 she loves it

@@basmatic_rice I had a 2018 X5. B58 car. Excellent all the way around. No complaints except one weird thing that duplicated tracks when playing music from a USB drive. Probably patched out with an update by now. Seriously great car. Recommended 👌

Had a used 2013 a6 for 5 years. No issues with the engine itself. I had electrical and dealership issues. If the economy was better I’d still have it.

Which gen? B8 or B9? The 2017 B9 are pretty reliable compared to b8.

it's a pretty reliable engine, just keep up on the basic maintenance ahead of time. Had it in my b8 s4 and never gave me any issues and I abused that thing lol

Audis are not reliable, and same goes to Mercedes and BMWs. How many miles have you put on your Audis ?

@@davidm4099 what do you base your unreliability comments on? I’ve owned three, one 6 years old with 113,000 miles on it looking to replace end of this year, second 6 years old that had 127,000 and third was 5 years old with 85,000 when we got rid of. Not one major mechanical or electrical issue with them. Wife had a Lexus that during the 4 years we owned had to replace rear view mirror we got black lines or something so couldn’t see out of it, drivers seat cushion wore out and had to replace a ball joint. Just bought a new Q7 guess we will see how that holds up.

​@@msk3905 Would you like to tell me how 8 months had been with your Q7 please!? I'm looking forward to buy one but what's worrying me is how everyone is complaining. I was almost at a point where i say nah i'm going to buy something like Genesis GV80 or Lincoln Aviator. I'm one of those people who agree on "if you're buying an expensive car, it will be expensive to maintain" I'm ok keeping 1-2k dollars annual even well insured and 5 years warranty" But what i don't like is when things break up even with care, I always go for brand new ones and expect to see no fault at all for at least 3 years then a few things like battery, light bulbs i men simple stuff till 5 years and in this whole time i won't mind to take care of my car even like taking care of baby by oil change on time, filter changes, air checks, right gasoline, cleaning, break pads, coolants, carbon check (every few months) and many other things that are not considered major but also not to simple stuff that people kinda ignore. however i don't wish my car be spending most of it's time in a workshop either just because it's must for the car or major things like engine leaks, timing chains, compressor fault with in 3 years and all that crap like major break ups just because the manufacturer didn't paid attention to reliability. I do frequently travel. sometimes 2k miles a month and sometimes 4k miles but taking care of it too but at a fix schedule like taking it to workshop and checking if all good. I also don't mind changing it's oil every 2k mile.

@@S.M.HassanShah happy to the end of August marks one year with it, zero regrets on purchase! Car is fantastic, drives great, very comfortable and love the technology. Absolutely zero regrets with my purchase and find owning one better than expected. Now for what I perceive as the negatives, way back and space under armrest are smaller than I had before I do miss the space, there is no storage under back floor panel and Audi app on my phone was causing issue with radio. If you get one stayed logged out Audi app and keep off. Lastly, Audi should be ashamed to charge for the rear cargo protector…POS! Flimsy and slides everywhere hands down the worst cheapest protector i ever seen to date! Zero mechanical or electrical issues, has 4 year warranty and when that comes close to end Audi will offer an extended warranty to me that I’ll most likely buy seeing the technology this car has. Don’t get extended when you buy, Audi price in 4 years is cheaper. Long term we will see how it holds up and honestly i don’t see me owning this without a warranty (considering the amount of technology) but i may be surprised as my wife’s A4 is now 7 years old with no issues to speak of.

@@msk3905 So this means most people break their audis because they just don’t maintain it like they thinks it’s Toyota if you handled with care like frequent cleaning and servicing it remains just as good as yours A7. What about the bumps like going over pothole does it shakes you? And thank you so much for your time i was so worried for owning one, thanks for giving confidence.

From my experience, they’re actually fairly reliable. But as all cars age, they require more maintenance as parts start to degrade. Typically German cars are just more expensive and a little more complicated to work on, requiring specialty tools. And, as a whole, people tend to stay away from older German cars because a lot of them ARE problematic. But this also means that there are less people buying them, which lowers their resale value.

@@NotSoHandyCarGuy That perfectly explains it, thanks.

Ikr, I’ve got to get my hands on one

Depends on what you wish for, Audi is best for Quattro, better luxury and better feeling, MDX has more reliability and, as a personal taste, better looking.

​@@VirgilPascu 👍🏻

I am surprised by the number of used Q7s that don’t come with the Driver Assistance package (it includes adaptive cruise control), even in Premier trim. There have been several in Premium Plus trim that I had to pass on because they didn’t have the Heat Package.

Oil consumption/blow by aren’t huge issues on the 3.0’s. Maybe it’s the PCV? But yeah, oil chances are the #1 most important thing to do on these. Personally, I’d do a change every 3,000 miles, rather than going by months (although some people say that’s overkill)… but it’s better than doing timing chain components. The 3.0’s in these Q7’s are quite a bit less finicky than the ones in the 1st gens though. BUT you can’t go wrong with Acura haha

@@NotSoHandyCarGuyThere’s a video out in which a former Nissan engineer recommends oil changes every 3,000 miles, but replacing the oil filter every other oil change; essentially, fresh oil every 3K, and new filter every 6K.

Just plain disgusting tbh

She actually uses it for work in her veterinary practice, not simply as a commuter car. I’ll give her a pass for that.

Tell me about it! I’d be going to my local car wash every week if I had kids and dogs that made a mess like that in mine.

Not sure if you're still interested, and I'm not an GX460 owner but I test drove a couple when I was looking to trade in my 08 Sequoia. The GX is very nice, it rides more like a car than the Sequoia and I suspect it was a tiny bit better on gas. But it wasn't as impressive or nicer than the 17 Q7 Prestige I ended up buying. The Q7 really feels like a car and the interior is so much better than the GX. Yes, the Lexus will be way more reliable but if you drive both you'll probably end up getting the Q7 if equipment, power and ride quality is your priority. The GX was nice but in no way was nicer or drove better than the Audi. But if you're worried about reliability, then get the GX.

Lmao, I don’t think it does. But I could have missed that detail 😂

But does it not happen if not taken care of frequently and little extra efforts than caring for ford, gmc, chevy, or lincoln? Like does these problems start appearing under 3-4 years of a brand new ownership with warranty and well insured? Of course we can't expect Japanese durability but still these things seem to be much more unreliable which is concerning me but i'm confused with how much miles they put on before they mention their cars are unreliable. If these things you mentioned happens after 100k for me it's bullet proof (for me) tbh. I hope people can help me make a decision for buying it. I love audi because i found it yet equipped with best suspension ever even as compared to range rover i've carefully observed the body movement of same reviewer in different vehicles almost same speed and exactly the same place. I've was blow by this test by a Russian ukposts.info/have/v-deo/koCQi3yksKWKz4k.html also there are many other places i was a big fan of Range Rover

@@S.M.HassanShah this car I been involved with was a regular Audi dealer ship car and then all of a sudden engine lights on and it when back to find it needed 10k worth of work and the list goes on. I've been turning wrenches for 45 years I wouldn't put that money in something that needs that much work ever. And it's not worth anything the way it is so you just lost 40k out the door on a car that known for these problems stay away find something else.

@@scooter1391 What would you suggest if i only keep this car for under 80k miles and do frequent cleaning and maintenance will it sill break under 3 years?

@@S.M.HassanShah Well from your video your in a state that snows so I suspect that they use salt for the roads there and if so your exhaust system will fail sooner. the answer your question YES it will break down from something like a alternator witch only a dealer ship can install because they need to be programmed to the car they one I helped with cost him 1600 dollars for a alternator at dealership that high way robbery in my book, like I said say away from this car it's just not worth it.

​@@scooter1391Was your engine TDI or gas?

Thanks for sharing. We need reliability updates.

Which year and how many kms?

Or a pick up truck, absolutely disgusting

Gross cats

The funny thing is, I did haha. The roads were so salty in Maine, this is what it looked like after an hour of driving!

lol
