It'd probably be worth your while to find a new '10 S4 somewhere, there are some around for sure.

I have an interesting timing issue for the Audi Loyalty program and would like to know if anyone else had a similar experience.

Basically, I refuse to do a trade-in on my current A4 because the dealer's offer was ridiculously low. So, I plan to sell the car by myself sometime this month. That means that I will not own the car when my S4 arrives in mid-August and will thus not have a current insurance policy on the A4.

My SA already stated that a certificate of title is not sufficient to be eligible for the discount. Does anyone in here know what else I could use for documentation? I have to believe that this is a somewhat common issue, as many people choose to sell their previous cars rather than do a trade-in. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

How about a current year registration.

Did your SA explain why the title is not sufficient?

Call me crazy, but maybe wait a month before you sell the current car?

Not possible. I live in downtown Chicago with just one parking spot. The car needs to go before my S4 arrives.

soheagle - SA did not really give a very satisfying answer when I pressed him on this issue. Just said that Audi does not consider certificate of title sufficient to participate in the program.

Where downtown are you? I'm in river north. Are you buying from Fletcher?

Looks like we have a Chicago base here... I'm in streeterville. I ordered mine from westmont Audi. I haven't specifically asked my SA what doc is required, but I heard from Audi exchange that a title is sufficient.

you've already agreed to buy the car at some price and that agreement includes Audi loyalty since when you made the agreement you owned an Audi

The Audi loyalty incentive does not affect the negotiated price. It is applied as a deposit by AoA. Dealers have no reason not to include so long as it is legit.

I bought my first Audi from Laurel, but their service attitude kept me from buying the S4 there, and they were not willing to deal a whole lot. Never had any experience with Fletcher, but at least it's walking distance from where I live and they're the only Stasis certified dealer in Illinois, so it's a big plus if I decide to go with Stasis tune.
