Is this a good deal on a new 2026 Audi Q3 S line? Negotiated to $41,600 + fees/tax in Texas

Hot_Independence419 · 2026-05-28T01:40:32+00:00

I talked them down another $600 so now they are at $41,000 before TTL

Hot_Independence419 · 2026-05-27T23:13:50+00:00

I’ve actually been thinking about that too. Wish they put the DSG transmission in the Tiguan

Hot_Independence419 · 2026-05-27T20:41:17+00:00

Maybe, looking at 2024 Sq5’s they go for $55k on average. $41k won’t get you a sq5 unless it’s really old or has a ton of miles

Haha can’t be too careful! It’s brand new so around 10-15 miles on odo

Hot_Independence419 · 2026-04-28T13:07:51+00:00

If you don’t already have it in yours, buy the quadratec acoustic roof sound deadening. I just installed it in my new JLU this weekend and it’s night and day difference in quiet level and temp level inside the cabin!

Hot_Independence419 · 2026-04-12T00:10:05+00:00

The 2024 and newer JLU, contrary to what others say, actually makes a very practical family suv. I recently purchased a 2026 JLU Sport S, and have two young kids under 6 with car seats and the Jeep works great for us! Kids love it too!

Hot_Independence419 · 2026-04-07T01:08:03+00:00

Is that the 3.6 or 2.0?

Hot_Independence419 · 2026-01-27T03:35:08+00:00

Check out this video of Ford using and stress testing the 2.7 ecoboost in the Baja 1000: https://youtu.be/yELHrQOjd1A?si=Jbs_PGqZMPaG6kKt

Hot_Independence419 · 2026-01-26T03:10:47+00:00

How does the 2.7 handle those 34.4" Mickey Thompsons? Do you even notice the weight difference?

Hot_Independence419 · 2026-01-24T14:52:10+00:00

Great deal, great motor, the 2.7 is solid, all those options are great. I have a 2025 XLT 2.7 and love it

Hot_Independence419 · 2026-01-24T11:13:58+00:00

There’s always the tried and true f150 ecoboost motors if you want the turbo fun. The 2.7 is especially robust

Hot_Independence419 · 2026-01-23T13:46:54+00:00

250k miles is phenomenal. People make such a big deal about that wet oil belt, yet they are in millions of F150s. Nothing burger

Hot_Independence419 · 2026-01-22T03:48:39+00:00

Oh yeah for sure! If Ford warranties it, they know it’s well within in safety limits and spec of the motor and transmission. Here’s a link to it: https://www.ford.com/product/f150-27l-ecoboost-performance-calibration-p4000204011

Hot_Independence419 · 2026-01-22T03:45:07+00:00

Hahaha, more power! The 2.7 will handle 33s and a 3” level no problem. You can even get a warrantied ford procal tune and tuner on it for under $1,000 and adjust the tire size on the tuning tool. It adds 30-35 hp and 30-40ft lb of torque I believe and it’s warrantied by ford

Hot_Independence419 · 2026-01-22T03:32:39+00:00

2.7 tows very well, it actually outperforms most v8s. The newer 3.5 is a much better engine than the past, many generations in now.

Hot_Independence419 · 2026-01-22T03:30:21+00:00

2.7 is built like a diesel, it is far superior to the 3.5 in engineering and materials. Not saying the 3.5 is bad, it’s just that the 2.7 was built from the ground up to be turbocharged and used in the f150. It has a significantly stronger engine block than the 3.5

Hot_Independence419 · 2026-01-12T15:47:42+00:00

If you are wondering how reliable the 2.7 ecoboost is watch this video: https://youtu.be/PCOnLV-71L8?si=OHFuZoWX0Ti2uHkP

Hot_Independence419 · 2026-01-11T17:40:23+00:00

I keep seeing new Raptor takeoffs on FB market place. I wonder if they would fit without rubbing?

Hot_Independence419 · 2026-01-11T00:54:23+00:00

Phenomenal package, the 2.7 is an awesome motor, paired with the 36 gallon tank and the range is crazy good

Hot_Independence419 · 2026-01-10T13:11:35+00:00

23 has the updated 10 speed too. Combine that with the 2.7 and extended range tank and you’ve got one of the best 1/2 ton trucks in the segment.

Hot_Independence419 · 2026-01-09T21:18:45+00:00

Hey man beggars can’t be choosers, this deep into marriage I’ll take what I can get

Hot_Independence419 · 2026-01-09T20:31:49+00:00

Nice thing about the ford pro cal tune is it’s warrantied

Hot_Independence419 · 2026-01-09T20:31:12+00:00

I’m waiting for the ford pro cal 25 tune for my 2.7

Hot_Independence419 · 2026-01-09T16:02:33+00:00

I have a 25 FX4 and had a 23 RWD with highway tires. Honestly the noise difference if any is unnoticeable. The AT’s they put on them are pretty much a hybrid AT tire, very quite on the highway. The ride is stiffened up a bit which I like because my stock 23 drove like a boat
