2.5% is a realistic target for the average punter. You might get a bit more if you push really hard and have an existing relationship. Given you've got 3.5% you're doing quite well!
I'm hoping that with a discount and the value from the A1 to have around £3000 deposit towards the RS3.
Had an email from Manchester Audi and the salesman we have always dealt with.... He tells me they'll give us a good discount if we'll come down and place an order, he said when I pushed that 9% would be achievable, seeing as we had bought so many cars from them in the past.
Sounds like they are trying to win our custom back........
How!?
9/10 other people struggled to get 1%.
Now 3-5% is doable if you shop around or have a long term relationship with your dealer.
9% is going on double what is currently the normal max, so what did you do so special!?
You got 5.77%. plus 50% because you're only buying half the car
Probably had people cancelling because of the lead times Audi are giving.
Or confirmation of the Golf R420 is giving them jitters!
But that's my point. I have more than the average punters relationship with my dealer (business goes both ways) and got that. Yet it seems other dealers are giving 9% with relative ease, which surprises me as Audi UK/AG impose strict limits on what dealers can discount.
I realise as an early adopter I'm not going to get decent discount. But I always order pre production cars. My gripe is normally ~10% discount doesn't appear until the first ones have been delivered.
I'm not overly fussed, it's not like I'm going to renegotiate, but it concerns me that dealers are already pulling their pants down - it will affect residual values in the long run.
