Default OEM Q5 Tow Hitch

I recently purchased a 2010 Q5. It came with a tow hitch installed, which I didn't want. I had it removed by the dealership before drove it off the lot. It's brand new and it's for sale. Any ideas on how I might find a buyer?

Post it for sale here. and/or other Audi forums.

You should have left it on the car - it would increase the value of your car when you sell it. Plus they allow use of bike racks

considering the price tag of an OEM installed hitch is in excess of 1400 bucks.......yeah, leaving it on would have been a thought.

Have you sold it yet? I might be interested. How much do you want for it if it is still available.

Did you get only the hitch removed or you also removed the trailer module? The module is the thing that costs the most (around 800$ out of the 1400$) in the OEM installation.

The trailer module can be had for around US$300 - obviously not from the dealer though!
