Default New TDI Owner from Seattle area

Hello everyone. My wife's Q5 TDI finally came in and wow, what a vehicle!

The acceleration is crazy addicting.

I did a lot of lurking and researching on the forum prior to our purchase, so thanks to so many of you that allowed us to make our purchase an informed one.

We're now an all diesel household.

Thanks,

Peter
Redmond, WA

Welcome. Q looks great. I see you're at the former Barrier. I didn't know if they did the whole new car presentation thing -- when I picked mine up, they just pointed me to it the front parking lot!

Congrats on your new TDI! Mine just arrived about 6 weeks ago. It's my first diesel and I am loving every minute of it. And yes, that get up and go is addictive and waaaaaay too much fun.

Not sure if they did or not as it's the first vehicle we've purchased from ex-Barrier/Autonation. It was prominently placed next to the showroom but besides the red bow, my other purchases at other dealers were similar presentations.

We haven't used the free car wash service yet. Looking forward to that

Congrats!!! Very nice... Ive got a very similar Q5 TDI ordered and cant wait to get it! Not sure how my dealer does deliveries. When we ordered my wife's VW EOS, they put it in the showroom to show it off. Nice touch which adds to the thrill of a new acquisition.

Enjoy!!! Im sure you will!

I'm sure you can always ask, if they're set up for a showroom delivery then even if they may not have otherwise done it they may make a special effort to make sure you get it (happy customers are more likely to recommend other buyers or return for service, etc.).

My deliveries have all been outside, no special presentation or anything but personally I prefer the more practical approach. They at least weren't anything like being handed the keys and pointed in the direction of the vehicle, though. Got the walkaround and walkthrough and everything, it just wasn't taking place in the showroom.

Sweet! The bow is a nice touch. I came home to a BMW Z3 convertible with a bow on it like that ... many years ago. My mom is in Lacey so I get up there occasionally.
