Picking up the car today, but...

have to leave the car in dealers till next Monday.

First, there are some black point and slight scratch at the read bumper, also the glue for the sponge. the sales man said they can polish the whole body paint.

What is polish? Is there any harm to the paint?

Second, I tested the car and found that to keep the car go straight, I have to turn the steering wheel a little bit to the right. The sales man agree to do the alignment.

A new car, but need alignment, what's wrong? Is it normal?

by the way, it is Michelin MXM4 on the 16'',are there any big difference between Michelin and Pirelli?

thanks.

How many miles on it? I would be very, very wary.

You're probably all right. It must be very frustrating. Just be sure to give it a good test drive

before excepting it Monday. Check out everything. If it's not perfect it, reject it. My guess is it will be fine.

thanks for the reply, It should be a brand new car..

there is still the glue on the bumper.

I just wondered why a new car need alignment? there is no check on the alignment before audi release the car? the sales man confirmed that there is not alignment check in the PDI.
