This vehicle is a fun to drive, comfortable, and efficient. The Q5 is the \"goldilocks\" of the V6 TDI offerings in my opinion - the engine and transmission are perfectly mated to the smaller form factor versus the Q7/Cayenne/Touareg trio. \r\n\r\nThis particular vehicle was ordered new by the original owner, and I purchased from the original selling dealer in early 2022. This Q5 has always been dealer serviced, and I've followed all scheduled maintenance under my ownership. I haven't experienced any unexpected repairs, but the vehicle is still under Audi's extended diesel emissions warranty through June 2025 for added peace of mind. \r\n\r\nThis is a very unique build for a Q5, and I haven't seen another Utopia Blue example equipped with Black Optic package out there - I spent a long time looking for this configuration and still love the look of the car to this day. \r\n\r\nI've done my best to show the true condition of the vehicle. It's been kept in great condition by myself and the previous owner, but does have minor signs of wear as expected with use. If there's any questions or further detail I can provide, I'll be standing by throughout the auction to provide support so please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. \r\n\r\nHappy bidding and best of luck!", "likes": 2, "timestamp": 1730056279, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 15957349, "authorName": "Monark", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/monark/", "bidAmount": 5000, "content": "$5,000 bid placed by Monark", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1730057756, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 15957659, "authorName": "Pajohn", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/pajohn/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Does the car come with OEM crossbars ?", "likes": 2, "timestamp": 1730060638, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 15957708, "authorName": "bradleyd83", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/bradleyd83/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Is there a 4 or 7 blade towing wiring harness?", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1730061307, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 15957820, "authorName": "wine0 (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/wine0/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@pajohn indeed - see photo 117.
