Default *Gulp* Took the plunge. Now a Q5 owner!

I'm now an owner.

2011 3.2L Q5 Brilliant Black / Black; Prestige, S-Line, Luxury packages -- the works. They had the car on the lot; not a special order; I just went and bought it right off the lot.

Took 4 hours to buy the car. It was dark by the time we left. We almost get home, and we realize that the sales rep had not applied the registration sticker to the inside windshield -- he still had it in his pocket or something. We called him on his cell phone.

I have to drive back out to the dealership in the morning to get the registration sticker. Sigh, can you believe it?

But I love the car so far! Too bad it was night driving home --- trying to figure out how to turn off the hip hop music that the dealer had left the thing tuned to was kind of annoying. :-)

I'll provide pics soon. For now, I'm exhausted.

Considering what you drop on that car....the salesman should be scooting out first things in the am to apply that sticker. It's really not asking too much or being demanding, it's the right thing to do. I would have done it that night. You really should not have to even ask.

anyway, congrats on the purchase.

Congrats, a long ride home with the radio playing rap music is certainly torture. Was your salesman mad at you or something?

You're right -- it was astounding that the guy didn't go our of his way and drive all the way over to our house and hand us the sticker, or at LEAST offer to meet half-way. We were exhausted from having to go through a four-hour process to buy the car. I sure hope the guy is waiting for me at the time we arranged (before the dealership opens even) this morning. I sure don't wanna have to wait.

Great find! Congratulations, I'm sure you're going to love owning the Q5, I keep discovering little things about it, even after more than a year!
