I just took delivery of a 2015 SQ5.
I live in Ohio, and I have two dealers in Columbus, OH (that's the closest to me). Neither would budge off MSRP. The one dealer had an SQ5 on the showroom floor that wasn't even close to what I wanted, and they were willing to do 2% off MSRP, but just on that vehicle since they had it. They told me I wouldn't find any dealer doing less than MSRP on an SQ5 that had to be ordered.
I kept branching out, and most dealers were saying the same thing.
I came to a dealer about 3-1/2 hours away from me that gave me a spec sheet showing MSRP and Invoice pricing on all options. They told me to build it however I wanted, take the invoice price, and add $400 to it. Under this deal, the more options you add, the more of a discount off MSRP it becomes.
In the end, it was about 7% off MSRP. I was MORE than happy with that.
In addition, I had a really nice trade-in. I wanted to get 28K for my trade (from research, that was fair AND good). One dealer offered me 22K, another 26K. I was worried that I wasn't going to be able to get a good price on my trade after all. When the dealer I bought my SQ5 from asked what I needed for the trade, I threw up 30K thinking they would then be lower...and they simply said OK!!! I was ecstatic.
For my area, I think the the entire deal was excellent...the price of the new car AND the trade-in.
After it was done, I explained to may salesperson what I was finding in my more-local area. He said it's pretty common in Ohio. He said their goal is to push high volume each month to maintain a high allocation of performance cars from Audi (they had numbers S and RS cars on the lot). In addition, he said, "and we want to sell you every Audi you ever buy".
Needless to say, I was happy all around.
Although I didn't quality for any incentives (being new to Audi), those would have applied to my price also. Financing was 1.9 for 60mo (and that was through Audi).
I did find deals of 8% off readily available in the Chicago area...but for another 1%, I wasn't willing to drive that far.

first post here, I used to frequent audizine a lot during my B5 heydays.
Still have her going strong, returned a lease and got the Q5. Technically it's my wife's car but we all know how that goes. Need to teach her stick so she can take the A4 to the train station and not subject our new car to that sort of abuse.
'15 Q5 3.0T
Tech Pkg, Sport Interior Pkg, B&O, High Gloss Black Pkg
48,500 after audi loyalty
I'm in the NYC region.
