Hi all — Got a brand new Audi and despite scrutinizing it before leaving the dealer, I noticed the below under garage lighting. It’s probably best described as a scuff — parts of it feel like raised adhesive while other areas catch a nail. I’m concerned. Should I try to deal with this myself, or do you reckon this is damage from transport that I should ask the dealer to repair / repaint?

I would first try and clean the area really good, just to make sure it's not tree sap or something other than damage to the clearcoat/paint, if for no other reason thsn to save myself a trip back to the dealer. It's hard to tell what's going on just based on the pic.

If it turns put to be imperfections in the paint, I wouldn't hesitate to have the dealer fix it, and I'd demand a loaner car if they don't freely offer one. It's a new car, and it's reasonable to assume that the entire surface is defect free. I might dismiss light swirl marks, again, again to save me the hassle, as those will disappear the first time you wax the car. Anything beyond that is on the dealer to make right. You not seeing it until now changes nothing in that regard.

That should rub out, if you have the skills try it yourself if not have the dealer if they seem competent. I had similar issues with my $120k+ Audi which also had some even bigger scrapes on the wheels and carbon work. That said they were horrible and my dealer refused to fix some of the stuff that was clearly from the delivery truck. Ultimately AoA had to get involved, and I no longer use that dealer.

Would love to get insight from folks here as I’m not quite sure what to do. I currently have around 14K in student loan debt and enough saved up to pay it off in one fell swoop. What I’m struggling with is whether I should invest that money into the stock market (thinking less risky S&P 500 ETF) and pay off my student loans monthly with the average payment being around 1000 so I can pay it off in about 16-18 months (due to interest being around 5%) or pay it off all in one go?

I've been a government attorney for nearly three years now and have worked in the same office/division since I passed the bar.

I know this is meager, but I'm mostly ok with it, I just want to see some recognition. On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine negotiating because (given my inexperience), I don't feel I'd be able to do better anywhere else. Any advice?
