Default How much should I offer for a 2015 A3 loaner?

Currently have my TTS at the dealer for maintenance/warranty work and have a 2015 A3 for a loaner.

What would be a reasonable price to offer for it? I'm wondering if I can get an awesome deal on a lease to tide me over until the new Mk3 TTS comes down in price a little bit.

2015 Audi A3 2.0 TFSI quattro
Scuba Blue Metallic
Premium Plus package (I'm guessing)
~5500 mi
In-service date: 7/2014?
Options:
MMI Navigation Plus
Convenience Package
Driver Assistance Package

Looks like it goes for $41050 MSRP

It's a loaner with 5K miles. I would offer around 33K.

If you can get it for less than 36K you are getting a deal.

I would go under 35. A3s are leasing new at great prices. If you take 6% off and add 1k for loyalty, you're at 37,5 if it was new. With 5k miles and being a loaner, I'd think you could do much better. As you're not pressed for a car, no pressure.

I totally agree.
BTW - after a TTS (and hoping for another one soon) how does the A3 seem?

Actually the thing that's attracting my attention most is the MMI with handwriting recognition. The RNS-E is really dated and I can't justify spending a ton to swap the unit with a Pioneer CarPlay one.

The engine doesn't seem that different from my TTS before I did the Stage 1 APR ECU upgrade. I would expect similar performance gains with the A3.

You actually feel the road much more without the magnetic ride, which I sorta prefer, but I haven't had the chance to try much spirited driving.

The TTS is nice but considering I bought it used, my current driving habits and the rate at which in-car tech is changing, unfortunately I'm debating the economics of keeping my TTS vs grabbing a new car.

I paid 35k for my wife's with similar miles and options. The car was CPO so the added warrenty is a plus!

Default 6% off MSRP: is this considered standard?

I am looking to buy an A3 premium plus in Seattle. I see your note about 6% off. Is that a standard percentage off MSRP that I should be calculating?

I am looking at a service loaner 2015 A3 1.8, 7K miles, Driver assist, B&O, and active lane assist. MSRP is $36,795. They have it listed at 30,995. I was thinking at least under 30K, but of course am getting blah blah blah no we can't do it. Currently not including a CPO extended wty.
