Default Re: custom color order for S5

In the US, Audi charges $2500 for any color that is on any current production model - this includes European colours also.

In the UK, if you downnload & look at the brochure, you can customize the colour of your S5 to any color you like from the color palette -this costs 2400GBP (approx $5000) but AoA told me this is not available at the moment for US Customers.

I customized my S5 with Misano Red Pearl (an A5 colour) -just didnt like the way brilliant red looked flat and blended in with the brake lights! It added 6 weeks of delay. Ordered Oct 16 delivery Mid Feb.

If you look at the Dutch Web site I think you can order Solar Orange!! which might be close to the GT3.

Hope this helps...

Default do people ever recover any of this cost in resale?

i am almost leaning towards aruba blue instead of sprint... but 2.5k for an a5 color is hard to swallow...

Default no. in fact, it may hurt resale as its hard to find buyers who want unusual colors

for the same reason, the dealer will probably ask for a larger deposit.

Gibber,

Looks like you placed an order for the S5 with Tiptronic. I am being told by Audi that this is not possible yet. How did you do it?

Thanks.
