Fuzzb3k Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Howdy. Just about to place an order for a new Audi A5 Cabriolet (3.0 TDI quattro S line) and was wondering what sort of dealer discount I might be able to wrangle. The Audi RRP OTR price is 49k. I've managed to arrange finance separately, so can't use that as leverage. Has anyone got any recent experience buying from an authorised dealer?

Irnbrukid Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 ...if you have already placed the order and signed the order form the window for discount has already gone!! He hasnt placed an order if you read it correctly.:confused: Just check online broker to get an idea of whats available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 He hasnt placed an order if you read it correctly.:confused:Just check online broker to get an idea of whats available. ok, re-read that smarty pants.... However just looking on line at what the brokerage companies say they can get doesn't always follow through to what they do get/deliver on. Hence why 95% of people get their own dealer to perhaps match an on line deal and give good service and value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it can be used as a guide as to what sort of discount is available. I will always give my localish dealer the chance to get within a few hundred pounds of this then and tell them thats where i need to be, then they can have my cash.... or i go elsewhere.

martininwillerby Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 10% minimum, internet brokers usually deal at about 12%. Cars that are already built and on the system could be 15%. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Not possible on a new Audi Martin. Audi UK reduced the dealer margins for 2010 so 12%-15% just is not going to happen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cupramax Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Lol, typical Audi so they "give" you a discount and make it back on the crap rate finance they offer. Do they really think we're that stupid? clearly yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlot Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 I was offered 8% off an S5 Coupe last month so that would be about £3500. No need to take the finance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a surprise on the 4.2 V8 coupe at all. They need to sell those in the light of the newer 3.0V6 Supercharged S4/S5 Cab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlot Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 It was actually 8% off any A4/A5/S4/S5. Would have liked a discount off an RS5 instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milo Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 And that is as much as you will get out of any dealer at the moment it would seem! I'll second that, as you know! Even when dangling a £41k+ order in front of them with my chequebook on the desk, 7%-8% is the maximum on offer. And that wasn't unique to 1 dealer either.

Milo Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 What did you order then? Nothing but it was an S4 avant I was/am after. The list price was just shy of £44k including GAP and their offer was £41k. I'm in no rush to change my current Audi and had already said I would only go ahead if the deal was right. They knew my position in that my current car is paid for and the finances are in place for the new one and I had my chequebook out ready to pay the deposit if they could get down to the cost to change I was after which personally I don't think was unrealistic. I don't think I could have been a more tempting proposition to them as far as being a customer but it's their business and their decision which is fair enough. They openly admitted the margin they had in the car but refused to move on what was their 2nd (and final as it turned out) offer. For the time being, I'll sit tight and ponder what to do next. In the meantime, they know where I am if they need to sell an S4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
