I went back to the original dealer and said I could get more off a 2014 then they were giving me off a 2013. Still wouldn't budge and they suggested that I should definitely buy it from the other dealer. I then went to a 3rd dealer who wouldn't move past sticker on a 2014. I gave up the hunt then and just settled for $2k off sticker.

What's the Mercedes promotion? Does it apply to other luxury brands? Do you have to trade the car or just own it? We won't be trading anything in, just giving the Mrs. something to drive when she doesn't need the behemoth SUV...
Just join audiclubnorthamerica with a lifetime membership and get 6% off MSRP immediately. Or join with a 1 year membership and after 6 months you're entitled to the 6% off.

Congrats! Looks great.

Also, in before "Oh my god, look at how high the S6 rides, I thought this was supposed to be a sports car, blah, blah, blah".

That does look excessively high. Maybe shipping blocks or a transport mode of some kind?

That is exactly right. The shipping blocks raise the car to the level where it (likely) won't get damaged driving up and down the ship and car transporter ramps.

Yes, that was the joke I was (poorly) attempting to make: the cars are transported with shipping blocks in the suspension. As the car in the pic is clearly pre-prep, they haven't been removed. It just seems every time someone posts a pic of a pre-prep car (in any of the myriad forums I frequent), someone chimes in with the "Oh my gosh, that car needs to be lowered 2", it looks horrible, must handle like a Ford Bronco II/Suzuki Samurai" etc.

Well, just as an update. Dealer A was pretty much spot on with their estimate. We will be picking up the car in the morning!

LOL about the "like" button. I hear ya.

I should probably give dealer A props. I feel like they treated us well, were never pushy and delivered what they promised in a timely and professional manner...Dealer A = Audi of Brookline
