Looks like ACNA was able to get Audi to offer their members the same program as Audi's Partner program that's been available for several years. If it works the same, and I suspect it does, the dealer is reimbursed 2% of the 6% discount by Audi, in effect with the dealer providing a 4% net discount from sticker MSRP.
What appears to be new (or different from the Audi Partner program) is the destination charge is included in the discount.

Which is a $54 difference...I never understood why they bothered to make the math (ever so slightly) more difficult for average joe salesguy for what amounts to 0.09% or so of the deal value. And yes, I get that over "thousands" of cars that go through the program, this is actual money...

Just curious: if I sign up today, and order a car tomorrow that has a 6-8 month wait, is the dealership likely to honor this?

GiantEli

Yes...it's Audi NA that has to approve. The dealer has to accept. I've heard that some (in my 'hood) aren't taking Supplier deals (the same terms) for the S6/7, even though they're on the list.

I also understood that you could get these deals (the previous $500 one anyway) if you were inside the 6 months, provided you signed up for 3 years. YMMV.

As long as you have been signed up for at least 6 months by delivery the dealer should honor the certificate from ACNA when you actually pick up the car. Call ACNA to see what they say about ordering ahead of the 6 months wait period and how you should go about it with the dealer.

A dealer does not have to participate but in my experience, most will on all but the officially excluded models. If one doesn't want to honor it, move on to the next dealer.

It's been reported that the ACNA 3 year advance purchase/6 months waiver was discontinued a few months ago.

Good to know, thanks.

One more follow-up for anyone: I have heard that you should be able to take advantage of both the ACNA AND Audi Loyalty discounts. Can anyone confirm?
Thanks!

snagitseven

Yes. See the original post and the link to the application form.

Sorry, the link actually takes you to a page that states "Welcome to the Archives, please make a selection" on my end. In fact, for some reason I couldn't find any info on this discount on the ACNA site?

ACNA has done something to the link. I just tried the link from my original email and results in the same thing you describe.

Here's a copy and paste of the text from my email:
