What do people think about buying a Stop Sale Q7 that has been sitting in Florida in the hot sun for 3+ years...or any hot humid southern state? What to look for? thoughts?

Well I'm in the northern panhandle of Florida; I would keep in mind that anything in southern Florida had a good chance of minor flooding at least with the multiple hurricanes we had this year. Literally the entire state side to side, top to bottom was hit by at least one hurricane!
If I was you, I would want to see the roof, and hood to assess the paint quality. I doubt the car was covered so it sat in the sun for 3+ years with no detailing, most importantly waxing to keep the clear coat safe from UV damage. So it could (a stretch but possible) damaged and start having issues later appearing.
Hopefully you get near 30% of whatever the MSRP was. Good Luck!
