Today, I paid approx. $2K under invoice with the Audi corporate coupons. The 3 socal dealers I spoke with admitted to the coupons ($500 off/per).


MSRP: $59,200
Invoice: $56,082
After coupon discount: $54,437 (+ he threw in some all weather floor/trunk mats)

add TTL, audicare, interior/exterior protection I walked out at just over $61.5K
somehow i locked-in an interest rate of 1.9%.

I pick it up tomorrow, can't wait.

Wait. What coupons?

corporate incentive coupons the dealer can throw towards a sale. I got 2 thrown my way ($500/ea.) plus whatever they can take off invoice.

yeah, a GSM told me about it a week ago when I arrived in person to get me to buy that day.

I paid just about $150 over invoice. I follow the same guidelines DrGp recommended. Although, it is sometimes best to go with the middle price and not the lowest.

Check the dealers reputation. I will usually call customer service and ask questions to get a feel of how I would be treated after they have my money. The money you pay for a higher echelon car should also include higher echelon service. And yes get things in writing. If they balk tell them it is to protect both parties.

And lastly, I tell them right up front. You have one chance to pitch me your best price. I will not deal with someone who does the, "Check With My Manager" crap. I walk out of a dealer the minute a salesperson does that.

My motto is: "It's ok to spend money, but not to waste it".

What the heck is interior/exterior protection, and what did the dealer charge you for it?

Assuming you are in L.A., TTL is about $5,200 based on your purchase price. Assuming $850 for AudiCare, you paid $1K+ for this interior/exterior protection? Is this a legit product??

And the Corporate Incentive discounts: Loyalty and/or Conquest Cash? I've never heard of a Corporate Incentive that all buyers will qualify for.

DrGP. Do you happen to have specifics on how allotment works? Thanks.

Lucky you, but sounds too good to be true. Let us know how it goes.

Finally agreed on close to $3000 off MSRP for special order S4. Delivery expected late March. There are hardly any S4s on the lots here in the Midwest. Dealers only get 3-5 a year and they sell fast.

Best wishes to all for the new year. Drive safe!
