depends on how hot the car is that you want, and what kind of margins AoA gives dealers.

When I spec out an A3 they way I'd like and knock of 3%, it ends up with the dealer profit around 4.9% over invoice. According to Edmunds.com, that's slighty better than typical deals in my area and you get the Euro delivery experience thrown in for free.

Porsche actually charges a premium for doing Euro delivery, from $1100 to $2200 depending on the model. That also covers the registration and insurance for driving the car for two weeks. When I did Euro delivery on my Cayenne S I was able to negotiate a really good price, but then had to give $2200 back for the Euro delivery experience.

with the Cayenne you get to spend time playing on their special off-road demonstration area, and also take hot laps around their test track. This is in their demo cars; not your own. We spent a full day at the factory. They also loaned a set of navigation CDs for Europe to use in the car's Nav system. That was a big help in locating hotels in the middle of the old cities.

Thanks! I'd heard something to that effect.

operating on a shoestring. Now they continue with the same mindset, and AoA can't or won't cut them off the franchise.
