Im about an hour to KY and about the same to IN. PA is about three hours. So I have options to get a car and be back the same day. Heck Detroit is only 4 hours. I don't mind a road trip but a 32 hour round trip is a little much unless I'm getting a REALLY good deal lol.

I am looking for 10.5%-12% here as well but no dealers are close to that. They are at 8%. They are not agressive and have plenty of vehicles on the lots. Just want someone to give me 12% and we are good to go.

lol I had to laugh. I've taken a test drive in an A4 and been having a discussion via email with the internet sales lady. As soon as I mentioned I've read where dealers are giving 10% to 12% discounts and if she was willing to work with that, I'm now getting the silent treatment.
Guess time to talk to other dealers. I don't mind traveling to save a few thousand bucks. In my area of Ohio, dealers seen spread out over 50 + miles between them.

Adding for those that might be shopping in Texas. I dealt with four dealerships, all online/phone/text message, before stepping through the door to make the purchase of a P+ last week at the Audi South Austin dealership.
Audi Central Houston - Originally offered 6.5%, then 8%, then 9% and finally 10% off MSRP. The deal breaker here was they absolutely refused to show me their numbers. Said they'd fax a purchase order to my financial institution, but not to me. Would not send me anything official attaching a price to a specific car. When I told them I wouldn't make that drive without something official, their response was - ok, let us know if you decide to buy here.
Audi Plano - Offered 8.49% off MSRP in their original email response. Didn't really attempt to haggle, but they didn't seem too interested in competing with Audi Central Houston.
Audi South Austin (where I bought the A4) - offered 9% off in response to Houston's 10% off and included Audi Care for $1.00. A effective total savings of 10.74%.
Audi North Austin - First dealership visited and where my wife test drove the A4. Salesperson originally scoffed at the TrueCar prices (about 9.03% off MSRP in this area) saying TrueCar was not an accurate representation of price paid. They offered $1500 off MSRP (even though their website later showed $2000 off the car we were looking at). When contacted regarding Audi South Austin's deal, said they'd absolutely match it. Given their original response and the fact that my wife preferred a car on South Austin's lot, we didn't give them the opportunity to match.
Maybe I could've bargained more, but based on my recent dealings I don't think 12.5% off is readily offered in Texas. I did everything via email/phone/text message though and it was an easy deal with the South Austin location.

I ended up going with Cavender Audi in San Antonio, who gave me 9.23% after matching the price True Car recommended I should pay ($44,639 on $49,175 MSRP). Not sure if I could have gotten him down further, but felt it was a good deal (an exceptional price according to True Car and below market average).
Like you, I don't think we are gonna get those 12% deals in Texas right now....maybe once the A5's start hitting the show rooms and selling off the lots.
