I'm in the same boat as you looking for a used 3.0si, only I want mine fully loaded. I've been looking out of state and negotiating over the phone. Since it's nearly the end of the month, I've gotten anywhere from 1,500-2,500 off price.

I would start by asking for 2000 under and seeing where it takes you. Also, try to get it done before the end of the month, since March looks like another bad sales month.

I can't comment on the Q5 other than I like the styling. My wife has a 2008 RX350 and I like that styling better than the new styling. It's as though they tried to make the new one look more aggressive with those lines. Believe me, if the 2010 is anything like the 2008, it a cushy ride, but man it drives like a boat!

Good luck!
