In my opinion the RS5 is nicer than the RS3. But that's my 2 cents doesn't mean the RS3 isn't right for you. It's just to small for me.

Just bought my 2019 Nardo Gray RS5 SB with drivers assistance, dynamic, black optics, nappa leather, B&O for just over $77k. Original MSRP was $86k. Several dealers had the same spec in stock and I was surprised at how quick they were to offer me a good deal via e-mail. I did fly and drive it back from Colorado but it was well worth it.

I agree 100%. I almost bought a RS3 but it ended up deciding it was too small after driving it for awhile. It also had a lot more lag than the RS5. The RS5 is a big step up IMO..

Well it seems after looking more closely at the window sticker the car has an MRSP $89590 but at the bottom there is a line that says RS5 preferred equipment credit of $2175 so the real MSRP in my book is $87415

So is this still a good deal. I did talk to some dealers within 100 miles some have cars with nothing and a few have nice equipment. Colors are the big thing for me and not so many great choices. Bottom line they all say around 5% but they want to give me 4K less for my trade. This is my build.
Thanks for the feedback.

Just curious, why you swap the q8 out so soon? Was thinking of going from the s5 to a q8 when the s line comes out.

Which dealership did you purchase from in Colorado? Thinking about trading my S5 for an RS.

SwissMTNAlien

Audi Fort Collins... ask for Andrew Almgren. They picked me up from DIA and it was a good dealership experience.

Audi in Bend Oregon and Audi in Atlanta were also quick to give a good discounted price via email as well.

Did I make a big mistake not getting Dynamic steering?? Picking up my car tomorrow. They completed the ceramic coating today car looks amazing.

SwissMTNAlien

Nah, I don’t think so. The first one I test drove one had dynamic steering and I liked it a lot. But I ended up buying one a few months later without it and the steering is great. I don’t miss the dynamic steering at all, but maybe I don’t know what I’m missing, lol.

I’m thinking about getting mine ceramic coated as well.
