Hey guys - visiting from the B8 S4 forum.

I picked up my plates today, and my dealer had three Q5's on the showroom floor with exclusive paint: Jet Blue, Sepang Blue and Aventurine Blue.

So if you want a unique Q5 - we have a few in Seattle!

If I'm not mistaken, it costs around $3k to have an individual paint and it's money out the window. The resale value of a vehicle like that won't be any higher than standard colors and in some cases even less.

Sparky,

Can you take some pictures and post them on here? I'd love to see them.

Thanks

yup - those are two of them. Below is the Aventurine - that one is amazing - it's kind of a blend of Deep Sea Blue and Meteor Grey - I really like it a lot.

Yes, all of these cars had the $2500 "exclusive paint" charge in the window sticker. Certainly seems crazy to me.

$2500? Seems like a deal to me.
