Audi Care discount
Anyone have successfully negociated an audi care discount? I see that the price of $820 for the Q5 is a suggested (msrp) but its not open for negotiations....

You usually have a lot more leverage on price when negotiating for the vehicle. More like, to close the deal.
If you already have the vehicle, you're pretty much stuck paying MSRP for it.
I would wait until you actually need to use it at probably 15K, the price might go up slightly but lots can happen between now and 15K. Should you have an issue with the vehicle and need AOA to assist. They could offer you AC as a customer service freebie.
I got it for my S5, for a prior water pump issue with the wife's Q.

This comes up every now and then. Audi Care dealer profit margin is very thin as the cost is not much less than retail price. If a dealer includes it "free", it's really another dealer discount on the purchase of the car equal to the cost of the AC. In other words, if a dealer throws in an $820 AC at no charge, theoretically, you could have received almost the same additional amount off the negotiated price if you didn't get it.
Unfortunately, there ain't nothing free here.

You may want to check your local VW dealer for service specials. Ours in Colorado Springs is running a $50 oil and filter change special on *any* VW or Audi. They said they know they'll lose money on many vehicles like a Touareg TDI or Q5/Q7 TDI, but they're using it as a way to drum up business. Doesn't cover our TDI's need for properly doing Adblue fills and fuel filter changes, but it's a start...
