Default It's finally here

Thanks for all your help guys. Looks like the Q5 is getting in to town in two weeks according to my sales person.

I'm pretty excited. I'm guessing I'm supposed to look for ipod cable, roof rack bars.

a) I was wondering does your Q, come with wheel locks?

b) I want to negotiate having the audi care and winter mats included. From your experience, is this doable?

c) Are there other things I should check for?

Thanks again.

Well if you would have negotiated before those would have been all free

CONGRATULATIONS!

It's doable and still not late. Give it a try.

Check for the items you listed also check for all 3 keys (one is a service key). And yes they have rim locks.

If you miss anything you can always go back.

One other question folks, did you install an oil pan heater in your Q?

Thanks.
