Default Just bought a SQ5

Just closed the deal on a 2016 white/black SQ5 w/ Technology Pkg, Carbon Inlays, 21" Wheel Package and Nappa Leather. I pick it tomorrow and then surprise my wife with it as its for her. It replaces her 10 yr old Lexus RX330.

If she doesn't like it I guess it will become my car. I can't see that happening as the SQ5 runs circles around the old Lexus.

I've had my SQ5 for a little over 2 years and still love driving it. Congrats!

My wife LOVES hers!!
We got it last July... 2016 SQ5.
No way I'd ever get her to part with it...
It replaced her RED S-Line 3.2 TT, that she had for 12 years, and I didn't think anything could ever replace that for her...!

Congrats on your new SQ5! I have a good feeling that she'll like it.

Hi Ap997, I see you are in Hermosa Beach. I'm just curious what dealer you went to? Were you happy with the sales process?

Pacific Audi in Torrance. I knew what I wanted and how much I would spend. They had a SQ5 that matched my configuration (except for the 'Black Optic Pkg'), so it was a smooth and haggle free transaction.

The SQ5 was prepped and I drove it away the next day. I surprised my wife by just parking it in the garage. She thought it was a loaner car since I took her Lexus RX330 this morning to the golf course. The SQ5 has a lot more user interface then her 10 yr old Lexus had so she's a bit on the anxious side. A few days behind the wheel, pushing buttons and turning dials, and she'll be right at home. .

I'll post some pics tomorrow but it's just like all other Ibis white SQ5's.

ps. As a deal closer I had the dealer put on the 'Supercharger Logo's.

As promised a couple of images while in the customer delivery room at Pacific Audi. Just a 'typical' SQ5 . . . .
