Be sure they give you the spare plastic emergency key and check the glove box for the fob for it, also the Ipod cable and roof racks. All these things were conveniently missing from mine when I picked it up and I had to go back to get them,, made me wonder about the dealer.

Look for oncoming traffic
Congrats, I hope to be picking mine up in the next month or so.... I would check the interior details and the paint on the outside. In previous cars (not Audi's) I have had spotty paint jobs with rough spots in the paint and a leather wrapped steering wheel where the stitching was already coming loose.

Thanks for the responses. I might have to pick it up at night which i really dont want to do because i wont be able to look over the paint that well. Maybe ill ask them to pull it in the service area so i can look it over with some light.

You would be much better off waiting to check it out during "daylight"!

Either way bring a camera and shoot all sides. Then If you do find anything the next day you can check your own log.
There was a tiny chip in my hood, they argued but it was actually visible when I zoomed into the photo. Case closed.
The upside is you can also show them to us

Salesperson said we will need at least 60 minutes (if not more) of "training". A "technology-dense" vehicle I guess.
Enjoy your Q5 in good health!

I know i should pick it up during the day but i dont think i can leave work to do it. Dealer wants to close out the deal before the end of the month but ill try and convince them to wait till the weekend. I will def post some pics when i get a chance.
Thanks deutschmick. Enjoy your Q5 as well.

We'll pick our Q5 this weekend. It arrived at the dealer yesterday but we're about 100 miles away. They'll tint the windows and sunroof in the interim.
