Can you give us any negotiation details? Did you start with the invoice price less 5% for European Delivery and work from there? With my BMW I took the ED invoice price and added $750 to get my deal. Was wondering if Audi works that way too.

5% out MSRP price.
But some user reported that they get more than 5% - it's all depend on your negotiation skills.

Point only being that the scarcity of the car absolutely does factor into what you will likely be able to negotiate.

...and the vehicle! I don't claim to be a particularly good negotiator but on an "S" car, my salesguy said that as a good long-term customer they would be willing to take MSRP on a non-ED car. A walk-in would pay a premium over MSRP. For an "RS" it would be worse yet.

You almost scared me away from even looking at Audi. If the starting point is MSRP and you work up from there.....Fuggitaboutit.

Look around when any new S car comes out - there absolutely is a "market price adjustment" or whatever the dealer wants to call it. I think my dealer gets 3? allocations a year for the S6. Heck, look at any rare car and you'll find the same - new Corvette ZR1, Z06 when they were first out.
As TIME89 points out, Audi's Invoice vs MSRP is more "real" than many makes, so 5% off MSRP is often "better" than "invoice" pricing - and for a "common" car you may well be able to negotiate beyond that.
Now as we head into the 3rd year of the C7 S6, it certainly may be that prices come down. My dealer said most of his S6 sales were for 2012 cars as people had been waiting for a new S6 for quite some time. Nonetheless he's apparently still able to get a premium for the S6 and S7.
