Hmm... I might. Though I don't think they will do that to me because I'm pretty sure I'm already paying top dollar to lease the vehicle.

Beautiful car. What color interior and which transmission?

Looks like your fuel door needs adjusting. It does not close as far as it should, or so it appears.

Dealer Delivered: Week of 08/20/2012

Were your dates close to what is on your vehicle order?

In my case the dealer had it on their website, and I bought it sight unseen. I do know that it took 10 days from arrival in port to get to the dealer. I got the car on day 11. Keep in mind tho that my dealer is only a 1.5 hour drive from port.

Waiting sux huh? :(

Good eye Donald! You're right. The door is standing proud by about .080" - .100". I'm sure I would have caught that this weekend when I give her the first touchy feely hand wash and NXT rub and buff.

Any tips on how to access and adjust the door catch?

Thanks!

Missed this question. It's got the solid Black Nappa leather, and the S-Tronic 7 speed tranny.

One question since I'm from SD: aren't you required front license for CA?

Yep! Been driving in Calif. 17 yrs now, and have removed all the front plates from my cars. Been lucky I guess. But I keep the plate by the spare tire, and if I need to park for long periods with the front showing, I'll set it in the window.

For the 25 buck fine, I'll take my chances and not have that tag wart hanging on the front.

Don't jinx me now! :D

I've seen 2 Ice Silver 2013 S5's so far and it looks amazing!!! Really shows off the subtle curves. It's 100% the color I would get in this car.

OP, congrats! Sweet ride indeed.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is Ice Silver.

Waiting does suck. But I'm better off ordering than taking a fully loaded one off the dealers lot.
When I test drove, I loved the steering wheel, fit and feel of the sport seats and the awesome start/stop speedo/Tach blast to the redline and back along with the roar of the exhaust. Sold me, right there, before even taking her out.LOL. But at 67k for a Prestige, a little too rich for my blood. Can't Wait.

What about the K&N? I have one in our Q5 and love it. As it is one and done. Don't like buying OEM filters at every oil change. Yet some people frown on them. Why do you like them?

That is pretty lucky indeed. I might follow suit and hopefully have the same luck.
