Default Just got a 2013 RS5

Hey everybody!
I just got my RS5 and I'm very excited about it!
There are couple questions I was hoping someone could shed some light on.

The car's exterior color is Misano red and I wanted to know how many RS5 were imported in the US with that specific color. Would A of A answer to such questions?

I bought the car from my local Porsche dealer, which I know and I trust since I have bought couple of those from them.
Since it doesn't come with a CPO cert, would I be able to go to an Audi dealer and request the Audi Care package (I'm planning to keep the car for a long long time). The car currently has 29K on the clock.

Cheers!!!!

Congrats. The RS5 is a special car. Yes, AoA can answer that question. As for Audi Care, it is a maintenance package and is not tied to CPO. However, at 29k miles, you can no longer get Audi Care. Audi Care needs to be purchased before or at the time of the 15k miles service. However, you can get Audi Care Select. Each Audi Care Select package covers the next two services. It's significantly more expensive compared to Audi Care, which covers 4 services. https://www.audiusa.com/myaudi/servi...audi-audi-care

You still have some warranty left on this car, so that's good. BTW, what's going on with that brake rotor. Did that rust groove come off after driving it for a bit?

Thank you Superswiss!I will look into the Audi Care Select.
Yes the rust was gone after driving it for couple miles, the car is driving really well. I'm loving every moment being behind the wheel of this beast.
I'm already thinking of mods, but I don't want to go too extreme with it.

Whoa, beautiful beast! I'm currently searching for '13 RS5 as well. How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking?
Thanks, Gene

Thanks Gene for your kind words. I found most of the 13 to be between 51K and 58K, depending on the miles and condition, that's for IL where I am.

Such a nice car! Have you had a chance to drive it in the snow yet? I'm also in IL, and more than likely going to buy an RS5 in a couple months.

Yes I did, the car is awesome but if you want to have the ultimate grip, you will need to get some snow tires.
We in IL you are?

I'm in Chicago. I've had my eye out for a black one for a while, but there aren't many at all near here.
