Posted something similar when purchasing my RS5 3 months ago and it was the luckiest 'on a whim' post I ever came up with - really helped me pull the trigger. Hoping lightning can strike twice here...

hey guys,

Just wanted to reach out to the forum to see if there are any AZers near Temecula, CA that could do me a HUGE solid. You will be compensated in Audi-karma mostly, and a little $ for your time as well.

There is a 2013 Q7 S-line at DCH Acura in Temecula that I'm really wanting to get for my wife. We're selling her ML350 soon and I finally want to be an 8-ring family. Reaching out to my AZ brothers to see if a fellow AZ member who lives nearby could have a look at it on my behalf, maybe take it for a quick spin, and get back to me with your thoughts on it. I would hope it wouldn't take any more than an 45min-1hour of your time, and I will gladly throw you $40 or $50 (sent via paypal gift) as well as load you up with gobs and gobs of good karma. I'll give the salesman I've been working with the heads up so you can get in and out of there without being 'sold' anything. I'm mostly interested how the body panels/paint looks, interior condition, tire depth, how the brakes feel/sound, and of course how the motor feels -- all the stuff that's hard to determine from pictures, a carfax, and the dealer maintenance history that my local SA got for me.

If you're free for 45 mins or so in the next few days and need to complete your good deed for the day, please send me a PM!!

Huge thanks in advance to anyone who could help out. And if you're ever up in Seattle you can count on me for a kickass craft brewery tour.

And enormous thanks to AZer jmaddr who helped me out with the RS!!
