For a coupe, you may also be able to negotiate 6% off without the ACNA membership as well.

That could save you the $750

great thinking, thanks.

You can also do European Delivery to get 5%. Of course you have to go to Germany, but that's part of the experience.

Worked out pretty well...I bought the car with the 6% discount -$750.

For the record: glacier white/magma red and loaded. I'm very impressed.
Thanks

You were able to get a dealer to honor the 6% ACNA discount on the sportback even though they are excluded from the discount currently?

Yes, please clarify - this was with the ACNA membership? If you just purchased it they still honored it (not making you wait 6 months)?

ACNA lifetime membership waives the six-month wait. ACNA will issue the discount certificates immediately upon your request once you become a lifetime member. They do not advertise this, however a quick phone call to them will confirm for you.

saxplayer

yes I get that - the question is if the poster got the 6% for the S5 SB.

...Since I did not have the ACNA membership yet, I proposed to the dealer to issue the 6% discount (as they would have if I had the ACNA membership) minus the $750 cost of the lifetime ACNA membership. The the dealer and I agreed and I ended up with basically 5% off the mfsp. If I bought the actual membership it would have been the same for me. It just saved me time not doing it that way, but looking baack, perhaps I should have gone ahead and buy the membership for the sake of ...anyway. It would have been the same reisult plus I would have had the membership too.

I just called to confirm this and was told "yes it waives the 6 month wait, but the sportback is still not included on that list until Audi decides to add it"
