But only if you are / have been a previous Audi Owner I believe. As this is my first Audi, I did not qualify for this rebate / discount. Also, if Audi has a “Summer Of Audi” promotion and you are buying / leasing any of the eligible models.

The loyalty rebate has nothing to do with financing. That's a rebate given to current Audi owners who purchase a new Audi, regardless of how you pay for it. I got the loyalty discount on my RS5 and I paid cash. There might be other incentives Audi gives for financing through AFS.

OP, you could always call AFS directly and ask them to reconsider your rate. Perhaps a mistake was made or a detail was overlooked or typod when they pulled your history or considered your financing application? Your credit isn’t perfect but it’s definitely “good-to-great” and 5+% seems very high for a standard term loan. If they won’t budge I’d shop around and see what’s possible elsewhere.
At the end of the day we each have to shop for and choose the financial products that fit us best.

There are two $1000 incentive programs, the national Owner Loyalty Audi Financing program and another program for current owners. The Owner Loyalty Audi Financing, as you might imagine from the name, requires financing through Audi and is not available on the RS5. There is another program, whose name I don't recall, that was sent out only to current Audi owners that is also good for $1000 and appeared to have no qualifications. If you financed through Audi, as I did, you get $2000 in incentives.

I should correct and state that this was the only offer available when I purchased the car at the end of March. I don't bother looking now... The rate was criminal and that's why I paid it off immediately.

Any more changes you want to make to your story? Since it is now nothing like what you originally claimed and exactly what I said, and you called incorrect.

Actually the offer on the Audi website is exactly the same as when I bought my car. If you finance through Audi you can get $1k off any new Audi if you are a returning customer. You said the offer did not apply to the RS5 and this is incorrect and I received this discount. I updated my statement because I thought maybe it could have changed and I am not checking this, but according to the website it hasn't. I am not sure what "story" I am telling since the car is in my garage. Did you buy a RS5 and not get the discount as a returning customer who financed through AFS?
