I think that's pretty cool you saw my car before I did. Hope that wasn't you who scratched my door handle, kidding. What color and options did you order?
I have a friend who works for Audi and he was able to get me a Friends and Family certificate which works out to be a few hundred over invoice. I attempted to negotiate Audi Care into the deal with no luck so I ended up purchasing it at full price, $920 I believe. How about you?
I'll look into Tint Masters, appreciate the recommendation. It's always nice to hear from someone who's seen a tint shops work and has been happy with them in the past.

I was only able to get 3% of MSRP and I had them include a trunk mat.
Its not like $1500 is chump change but I was not going to beat myself up trying to get another $500 - $1000 off the price of the car by buying it from some far away dealer that I will not be going to for service.
I originally had my A3 for $150 over invoice and the trunk mat but they would not be as generous on the S3.
I could have purchased a Sepang Blue or Daytona at 6% off invoice from a dealer just over the Michigan/Ohio line (I went and test drove it) but I wanted Black. The Sepang looks amazing in person but its not for me.
I wanted to buy from this dealer because they are exclusively Audi and the location is better than the others around the area to my house. They will also pick up my car for service (like I'm going to let someone drive my car) and more importantly, provide me a loaner if I need one.
Its my first Audi and my wife will be looking at a Q3 or Q5when her lease is up.
I saw your car through the bay doors when I pulled into the dealer. I never saw it up close and personal. But I will tell you that seeing your car, waiting to get picked up, was another nudge for me to change my order to an S3!

Drober30: Still a good deal for a car that for the time being isn't typically being held in inventory at most dealerships.
Like I mentioned before I've been very happy with AofRH. I've dealt with another local dealership that was near my office and wasn't pleased to say the least, and while that dealership was even more convenient for me to visit I'll never go back.
Looking forward to seeing pics when you take delivery and I'll keep my eye out on the road for you.

OP-
Looks great - good luck! A while back there was an exchange of posts regarding the dark pano roof looking fugly against lighter colors (i did not agree with that view). From these photos I still don't see the contrast as any kind of "looking good" issue one way or the other. Your thoughts?

I really don't notice it much anymore, doesn't bother me at all. If I had a choice though I think it would look better if Audi had blacked out the entire roof from the factory, IMHO. The guy who installed my Xpel and window tint mentioned he could wrap the back portion for me but I decided against for the moment. Maybe in the spring.
