I received confirmation that mine just hit port, but I found a dealer who has my car in stock, so ill be picking it up tomorrow. I was able to get a discount I was happy with. Ill have to wait until the black rings and badges come in to swap them, but otherwise what I wanted. Part of my doesn't feel great about skipping out on the car I ordered but also I put my deposit down like 18 months ago so I'm pretty disappointed it was not here back in December...

Great news! What percentage of a discount did you get? And you put down a deposit on a RS5 Sportback 18 months ago?

Enjoying my RS 5 Sportback a lot. One issue though.

I successfully program my garage door opener in the car. It works for about a week and then will not work and has to be reprogramed again. This has happened 3 or four times.

Has anyone had the same?

Gotcha. I was thinking how did he put a deposit down on the RS5 Sportback before it was announced lol. Did you get a disount off of the MSRP of the vehicle or off of the add-ons to get to 5%?

Is there a 2019 Prices Paid thread? Wanted to get a 2018 S5 Sportsback, and dealers were giving as much as 15% off MSRP, but no available models in the East Coast had Dynamic Steering

without getting the full deal structure the "what did you pay" largely becomes useless. Between available incentives, added AFS bonus's, trades. Plus, pricing will be totally regionally based depending largely upon inventory. You won't find 15% on that car at this point, margins actually shrunk back for MY2019 vs previous years, so less meat on the bone to even play with to begin with.

As for dynamic steering, there were plenty available that had them. I delivered 2 last month alone

Yes there was a thread for 2018 S5's, usually people post full deal structure details:

Those are not even close to fully structured deals

Incentives are regional, so without knowing each person's exact location, it really becomes difficult to pinpoint "the deal"

I've seen deals from other dealers (I am a dealer btw), where they get double digits off.....and then have $1000 document fee, or $475 window tint +$250 nitrogen in tires. That stuff quickly erodes the "discount" you may have received up front.

So I've begun negotiating prices at both dealerships where I placed my orders as both ships are set to hit the port this week. One dealer has agreed to 2% off MSRP with additional discounts off of protection packages. The other dealer is wanting to charge MSRP for the vehicles but also has agreed to discounts off protection packages. The rep at the second dealer believes I'll have a better chance of negotiating a percentage off MSRP once I'm at the dealership and speaking with the manager. I'm thinking I should be able to secure 4%-5% off which is definitely better then I anticipated. I'll keep you guys updated once my vehicles arrive. Finally on the home stretch!
