NO Warranty 2023 Audi SQ5 is in My Shop! Truly Unbelievable Mileage! 

The warranty hasn't been voided, its simply expired

I thought the brakes might be good, because the guy never stopped!

Highway mileage is easier on cars. Less shifting and less stopping and pushing two tons so less stress on brakes, suspension etc

I have to ask how? If they did 104k miles in a year driving 5 days a week for 52 weeks that’s 400 miles a day. That’s 6 hours a day driving

The definition of daily driven

In Germany, turkish salesman would now rewind the clock and sell it as a 20 000 miles car to an eastern european country.

All the milage record holders, including Irv Gordon's 66 Volvo P1800 with 3.25 million, all have the same thing in common: nearly zero running errands, 99.99% highway and hours of running on almost every engine start.

As an over the road trucker I used to drive 100,000 miles per year. Hard to believe someone would drive a car that much.

That's a whole lotta seat time in the driver's seat for 104k miles in 12 months. Averaging 285 miles EVERYDAY! I think the most I've ever driven in a year is 32k miles. I was traveling to/from work for an hour each way plus I was going to college in a more remote area of the state, so if I wanted to hang with friends/family, then I'd have to get into the car to go see them, and after drive back. My average per day was only 87 miles. 200+ more EVERYDAY! WOW.

Michelin Cross Climate tires. Perfect tire for those who are tired of swapping the snow tires every fall and spring.

2015 V6 TDI Q5 - 264k mostly highway miles done in the last 3 years. Keep to the maintenance schedule! Audi diesels rule.

this is probably the longest time the car has been sitting still lol

As I’ve said before, I live in Germany and it is not uncommon for VW products to last 5-600k kilometers. Well above 300k miles, when properly maintained. One of my cars is a 1997 A6 2,4 gas with 452k kilometers. Giving it to my nephew on his 18th birthday on 01, 01, 2025…

Misses Wizzard interior analysis is impressive, Talk fast without it sounding fast and lovely voice without it sounding rushed. Nice Job!!! Not easy I would be A ball of nerves My hat off two you !!!!!!

Exceeding the warranty mileage is not “voiding” the warranty.

I am more interested in the Citroen XM in the back......

Woah. I have 111,000 miles on a 2022 Toyota Sienna, and I thought that was a lot! This guy doesn't just drive for Uber, he's in Kansas on a New York tag. Fellows never home...

You just can't compare 100k miles in one year to the same distance over a reasonable period of time. Time is a huge factor, so you'd probably have some issues even with low mileage, but corrosion and things like that ain't gonna happen. Plus, long-distance motorway driving is probably the ideal load scenario for a car. Moderate power demands, no stop and go, good roads and when you depend on your car that much, you probably look after it.... seeing your car dealer more often than your mother-in-law. 😁

wow, about 285 miles per day, holy highway cruising Batman!

My 2014 VW Passat TDI has been my most trouble free car. 197k on it. Timing belt and water pump kit has been done, recently had to do rear brakes and shocks. Did sway links and I've done a door lock actuator. All basic easy things. Everything at the front is tight and nothing has leaked a drop. I use Liqui-Molly oil and MANN filters and oil changes are always done by myself on time. I've accepted that proper maintenance for these is key. It's been my favorite car.

I put 50k on a Honda Accord in one year doing ride share driving. And, that was part time, between 4 and 6 hours a night! Its easier than you think to put that many miles on a car.

Probably the third or fourth set of tyres. I had a Q7 and it wore quality tyres out at about 12,000 for a set. Budget tyres lasted 20 to 25,000 miles but got very very noisy after half worn. I found it to be very reliable but the main dealers around here, two of them about 60 miles away in different directions, were exceptionally dishonest and like to load their invoices. The final straw was when a slow blow driver’s seat fuse periodically blew. While in for a service I asked them to look at it and upon collection they claimed that their ‘master technician’ had diagnosed two burnt out and non serviceable motors, which required a complete new seat at a ridiculous cost. I am not born yesterday so took it to the mechanic that repairs my tractors and he took an hour to find the chafing wire, wrapped it in insulating tape and the seat worked perfectly for the next two years until I changed it for something, don’t remember what. As for the tyres, I drove the car exactly as I drove the previous Range Rover from which I got 35,000 miles from the original rubber.

I have the very same Michelin tires on my 13 RAV4, those are excellent tire when driving in heavy rain and wet surfaces.

The b9 and b9.5 are awesome. I love the platform. Massive W from Audi

I have 25k on my 2024 Ram 2500 so far and got it in March. That dude is doing some serious driving!

My 2019 Q7 has only 63,000 miles. Been a great vehicle so far. 2.0 in it. Plenty of power and speed to match.

Yes, it's a '23 model but by now it's probably been driven for two years. '23's come out late in '22, so really its been driven for probably all of '23 and most of '24. Still an impressive amount of miles no matter how you look at it!

Lots of highway miles versus shorter commutes make a ton of difference. Driver must hate flying. The car came from an Orange County, California dealer, but is registered in NY.

You realy do get ripped of with warranties in the USA. Every Audi comes with a standard two-year unlimited-mileage warranty. In the UK, this is enhanced to a three-year warranty (with a 60,000-mile limit in the third year). So why does this owner who clearly does a very high annual milage keep buying Audi cars ? Answers on a post card please

NY Lic Cali plate frame and serviced in Kansas = 100k

There are people who average that in a year in the last mile courier business. I worked in the state of florida based out of Miami. I put 115k in about 16 months between that and doordash. One month I recall doing 2 5,000 mile oil changes. The only issue in those miles was that the alternator went. That car was on up to 20hours at a time... it was totaled when a tacoma took a red light and hit me on the passenger side quarter panel. Due to the mileage the insurance totaled the car, it was a great car and its possible to easily rack 100k miles in 12 to 14 months. I know people that flip cars yearly depending on the amount of work and some use 2. Car was totaled at 278k miles 2016 VW jetta 1.4t S. Grey.

I think you did a video recently on another high mileage late model vehicle (I think it might have been another Audi) in which the vehicle would have still been under warranty if not for the high mileage. I think the owner had bought it new and used it as a local delivery vehicle, putting six figures on the mileage in just a couple of years.

My current car is a 2017 Hyundai Elantra Eco with the 1.4 Turbo GDI engine and 7-spd DCT transmission. I bought it brand new in September of 2016 with 53 miles on it. I delivered meds for a major pharmaceutical company in Milwaukee, WI and put ~70k miles a year on it. When I took it in for a 30k service in June 2018 at _120k_ miles, they said there were metal flakes in the oil when they drained it and it needed an engine. DESPITE BEING OUT OF MY 100K WARRANTY BY 20K MILES, THEY STILL COVERED THE ENGINE BECAUSE I WAS FAITHFUL WITH THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. HYUNDAI/KIA CAN DO THIS FOR A CUSTOMER, BUT VW/AUDI CAN'T??? I'll stick faithful to South Korean automakers and continue to ignore German cars based off their "German reliability MYTH", thank you~

Now we know where the Car Wizard name came from.😊

You would be amazed (I certainly was) at what people can do to brand new cars in two years. I was looking at a 2022 Nissan Kicks for my daughter and *thought* I'd found a good buy. It had 50K miles and looked virtually new; took it home for a weekend and three days later I saw white smoke. Turned out a dealer in FL denied a warranty claim on the engine due to sludge; the original owner didn't change the oil for 35K miles. They ran some sludge cleaner through it and put it on the wholesale market (did not disclose it on Carfax), so it could run for a test drive or a week or two without anyone noticing anything. Who buys a brand new car for $25K and then destroys it???

David Tennant as car mechanic: "What ? .... What ? .... What ? "

What about the XM in the background?

The SQ5 is a gem. My 2015 just hit 50k miles!

It kind of reminds me of the bearing seal factory. We tested these bearings to "150,000" miles. The test was run 120mph 45 min/ 0mph 15 min, 24/7 for 10 weeks. That was the lab. On a car? 90k you were taking serious risk of wheel falling off.

Incredible that it's in the shape that it's in still.

It's hysterical that this is blowing there minds, but you show them a toyota with that mileage, and they look at you like "Yes and your point?"

People who buy expensive Euro cars never plan to keep them for 20 years. If you are going to do 100,000m per year, you would not buy a cheap and nasty vehicle - you want the superior driving dynamics and ergonomics of a Euro. Any car engine will last a very long time when it never gets cold and spends all it's life at highway cruising speeds, likewise the rest of the running gear.

Cracks me up when I hear you say how Toyotas last longer than everything else. That might have been true at one time but that time is definitely not now

Best way to date a car is to look at the seatbelts. They should all have a label with the date of manufacture on them.

I respect this owner.

Wow Audi in Australia offers a 5 year unlimited kilometre warranty. The USA is unlucky in regards to warranty lengths

Remind me to thank Hammond for a lovely weekend.

I still don't understand why VW/Audi keep putting fake exhaust tips on their vehicles? People who care about exhaust tips etc. hate fake ones! Someone in their boardroom needs to be fired. It can't possibly cost that much more to make the exhausts real. Shame on any car maker who uses fake anything on a car.

2023 model year cars came out almost two years ago

long trips so better than a car thats done 25k miles that does 5 miles a day

Highway miles is the best for a car.

My dad used to put about 50k on his cars per year. He was a traveling salesman for an insurance company. He had 100k on his 2014 Malibu after a year and a half or so

I can't wait for the new channel!

This guy is basically performing an accelerated wear test. The plastic parts are getting extended heat cycles. It may last longer but I’d run away screaming instead of buying it second hand.

I can't wait for the new channel !🎉 you weren't named The Wizard for nothing! Let's bust some ghosts!

I just pictured Car Wizard David wearing a Tin Foil Hat literally 😂😂

I enjoy Mr and Mrs RU-vid channels!

Always enjoy your videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

In Australia even BMW and Mercedes have 5 year unlimited klms warranty. Makes them very popular as lease vehicles as after say 3 years you can move it along with a good chunk of warranty remaining.

That must do a lot of cross-country trips, being in Kansas but with New York plates and California plate frames.

400 miles per day, 5 days a week for 1 year is 104,000 miles. That's Wichita to Kansas City & back every day.

Can't wait for the new channel.

After test driving an SQ5 with Air suspension.. There's not many other cars i'd want to be in for that long/far. Not to mention traversing every type of road and weather condition the USA can throw at it. I've always dearly loved the Audis i've owned. Truly phenomenal in foul weather. I wonder what this guy does that a 65-75k car is no problem to run hard and dispose of every couple years. I can confidently say i'd likely also pay the premium over a Camry.. Nothing bad about a modern Camry but if you know, you know. Cool Story, Wizard!

I heard some good things about Audis built after 2012 when they fixed the piston ring issue

The last time I was in a Toyota, it was comfortable and I would be glad to go that far in a Toyota

Got to remember that a 2023 came out in 2022 so that two years

Reminds me of Coast to Coast topics from the radio

Wizard as the Lionel Fanthrope of Kansas is not the flex I expected!

Wizard is a flat earth guy!

Ford used to put their ECM's under the hood on their late seventies but they had a high failure rate as we would replace customers ECM's on a Regular basis

Good fun finding out what will happen.

What's even more crazy is that the resell value probably dropped by more than half

Mrs Wizard... The thing that looks like a radio in the dashboard is actually the aircon controls. I guess this SQ5 is a gas engine, the one in my S5 (UK) is diesel with the same power, but 40+ mpg.

Back in 2001 I was doing agency work in Healthcare and I was covering Arkansas, Texas, Missouri and Tennessee. Some of those weeks was a combo of all the above. I had bought a new Sonota at the end of 2000 by the end of 2001 it had almost 60000 miles on it I can't imagine driving another 40000 miles. I kept that car for 4 years and put 250000 miles and basically changed oil a few times, th e timing belt once and maybe brakes. Poor abused car.

I drive about 80k miles a year. 65k on my mdx and 15k on my Sierra Denali. I did like 140k in 2 years on the mdx. Almost at 200k now

I'm really confused. NY registration, looks to have been purchased at a dealership in CA and it's at Wizard's shop in KS. Truly daily driven a LOT.

Looking forward to your new channel!! Im very curious!

I like your musical lift!

That's 2k miles per week, thats one hell of a commute 😳

My 2023 SQ5 has the performance exhaust package which, has real exhaust tips. Apparently that's an option on a $65,000 SUV.

Miles….and years……BUT MOSTLY OWNER ABUSE…..I sold my q7 recently to buy a new SQ8……MY Q7 had 139,000 on the clock and was like new and never had any faults…….i maintained it properly.

Looking forward to the new channel.I knew there was something weird about the Wiz.

My friend is a salesman and puts 100k a year on his cars. His company gets him a new one after a year. Plus the car could have been delivered 2 years ago.

Can't imagine what a life it is to drive 285 miles a day 24/7.

This audi is heinous. But wow 104k miles is nuts. I thought I did a lot at 30k / year lol. 350k on my Lexus ES330, but it’s 2005

Honestly, cars are made to be driven. If you drive them as intended in Germany with looooong drives on the highway and do the scheduled maintenance, it could las much longer than a normal city driven car

Vegas rental companies get hundreds of thousands of miles on Ferraris. They get driven daily, a lot. Take a Japan manufacture Toyota, drive it 600 miles a year and tell me you don't have typical "Ferrari" problems.

wow Audi mission viejo!! Orange County CA! With NY plates!

oil change was certainly a challenge !

Car Wizard's new channel sounds like the Red Thread podcast 😂

Guy must be rich/own his own business. Cant imagine buying such expensive vehicles and then rapidly depreciating them.

Suggestion...Mrs Wizard starts new channel for the interior review...fast forward it every time.

Scotty Kilmer: I was wrong and I'm sorry.

A Citroën XM?? One of my all-time favorite cars! Video, please!

I think Audi does the best job on interiors for affordable cars. A step above BMW or MB. Car needs a drive thru a touches car wash that has the underside rinse. Don't like those Michelin tires, I'd put the Pilot Sport 4 Season on a sporty SUV. Can't wait for the new channel.

The toyo camry is pretty nice inside and out.

used to drive to my inlaws at least once a month in my 99 celica 680 miles one way and seemed comfortable enough for me. 🎃👽👻💀 looking forward to seeing you become a ghost-wrangler

Seeing the New York license plate I'm having some crazy thoughts on how it has 104,000 miles in one year.

Must be a traveling salesperson to pile that kind of mileage on in such a nice car, and a hell of a car allowance. As I say any car can be a good car just depends on how much you drive, we have owned German cars for years and pile the mile on more than most people closer to 30k miles a year only a few surprises or kinda expensive repairs on them. Toyota's have engineered points of failure just happens to be a bit higher usually 150-180k miles for things like a starter or alternator or sensors fail. Weird thing is only a Japanese cars have ever blew an engine on us, a Nissan VQ35DE timing skipped when a belt broke and a Camry 2.2 guzzled oil like mad but both had over 250k miles so a good life.

104,249 miles in one year is 11.90057 miles per hour times 24 hours, times 365 days a year. Dang! When did they sleep unless the owner was some kind of delivery person? 🏆🎉😂
