Hi everybody. Been looking at A5's for almost 3 years, waiting for the right time & car to pop up from a private seller. Finally found it. '11 A5 Prem Plus, Meteor Grey w/black interior. Titanium pakage w/nav. Flying out tomorrow to drive it home. Can't wait. Will post picks this weekend.

Hello!
I'm so excited for you!! You've given me courage to go from just lusting after an A5 to taking some action. I too, have been waiting and watching for the last 3 years!
Thank you,
Audi=Lust
PS - and even your choice of Grey/black is mine, too

Picked it up Friday night in Laguna Niguel, stopped at Fatburger on the way out, & drove straight back to Phoenix. Awesome car! It is the auto tiptronic. I can't say enough good things. I will take photos & post them in a few minutes on my lunch break.

here is a quick shot of the car while at work, will post more later. first order of business (once I get the new AZ plate) is to remove the front license plate & get a filler. Does the bumper have to come off to install a filler panel?

No. The panel holding your plate comes off with two screws and the blank filler panel uses the same screws when replacing.
