Items to add upon pickup?

[NewS6AudiFanNYC]

Hi all

Picking up my S6 on Saturday and am trying to decide which items if any to add on. Interested in owner thoughts rather than the dealership which just wants my $$.

1) Audicare: This is a big question mark for me as it's based on miles driven. I got a low mileage lease so from that perspective I will never hit their 25k or even 35k service milestones ( I do 5k-6k per year max). My question is are these maintenance schedules based on these mileage milestones or "annual" requirements. My guess is as long as I do standard oil, filter and brake fluid they can't exactly bang me for these services unless I pass these mileage marks....thoughts?

2) Lease end wear and tear and Tire/Wheel coverage: Only question here is whether the lease care covers normal curb rash on rims which is what would happen to me. Never gotten a bubble or a broken rim in 20 yrs so hoping luck remains. I never purchase this but the $650 might make it worth it given I usually have that much damage end of lease from a bumper and a few nicks here and there anyway. Can't fathom needing $1200 worth of new tires and rims to justify the Tire coverage so if end of lease care covers rash I am good. I know BMW only dings you if you have cracked rims or missing metal.

Thanks!

I am picking my new A6 up in 21 days. I too would like to know the answer to these questions.

If your going to do any drivetrain modifications, then you will likely invalidate any warranty you have paid for.

Once you have your car, and start looking around, you will likely want to change your rims to something a little different.

Invest in some PPF - Suntek or Xpel are the market leaders. Nothing worse than getting stone chip damage on the front!

My first additions will be tint and Xpel clear bra next week. Rims and suspension are also on the docket down the road

Sounds like it doesn't make sense for you to get audicare. But just check with the finance guy because you should get a 1% residual bump when adding audicare which would mean it would make audi care only a couple hundred bucks so then it becomes a no brainer.

what dealer are you picking up from?

Congrats...picked up my 16 S6 on Friday and I got both options. As mentioned, would help with the resale back to the dealership and these NYC roads are no joke so its best to be prepared. I was told that no matter what type of wheels/tires you put on the vehicle, the package covers it. For the price, its a peace of mind and tires alone will be expensive for repair.

Got the same option on the previous Audi I had (13 S5), prepaid up front and when I turned the car in, they gave me a refund of what was left from the warranty.

IMHO, I would get it knowing that you drive in NYC.

I'm picking up from Biener in Great Neck. Guys over there were really terrific. Great service and timely responses. I am not going with any of the options. I drive pretty carefully and have had low profile tires on lexus and BMW and never cracked a rim or even got a bubble. Hopefully my luck continues!

IIRC the first service (oil service) is free and the 15k service is fairly minor too. The 35k is costly. I would pass since you don't expect much mileage anyway.
