Absolutely wild. Have a 2023 Q7. Battery died yesterday. I swapped it out and same result, dead car. Had the car towed via Audi Care to the dealer. Dealer calls me today and says oh yeah, you cannot simply replace the battery, we must do the OBD scanner, tell the car there is a new battery, etc. I’m baffled. So what - people have to guess when the battery will die, bring it to the dealer prematurely, and pay these idiots $700 to do this? I’m absolutely livid.

Hi All

Looking to purchase a 2019 Genesis G70 for 35k. Applied for Auto finance and got it approved from DCU at 4.5%.

Any suggestions where I could get better rates with a good credit score and history?
