Default S8 Drool, then Bleed

Foolishly thought there would be discounting on remaining 2013 S8 on the lots around the country - several fully loaded at the $125k range - not a penny off; no 3k loyalty discount; AND (I should know this by now) offering only 47K trade on my 2011 A8. A fully loaded 2014 RS7 comes in lower, but the allocations are nearly full already: whats a drooler to do?!

There is hope for the 2015 to have some changes to the interior electronics. You could wait that out. My dealer in KC would probably order you an S8 at a discounted price and deliver it to you, or at least it would be worth a try.

I understand that to be the case re 2015 interior - and several exterior as also.

Bad for their marketing plan if they discount a premium brand at the risk of diluting the allure of unique model ownership.
