My editorial. And how many of those 300K live in your city and can afford an Audi and maybe even want an Audi.....just saying that probably won't mean much in my opinion, and if he doesn't give you a deal what will you do, put that on your channel? You'll think about how the dealer sxxxxxd you every time you get in the car. Why do that deal? Sounds like threat to me and probably not a good way to go. There are all kinds of dealers, those that rip you off at $5K above retail, those that play tough hoping you want to pay sticker vs how bad you want the car and those that treat you right and are in it for the long hall, you just need to find a good deal. Think about this, do you negotiate for most oher things you buy, probably not, but for cars that's the way it is. I've always gotten a fair discount even from Audi, Porsche and MB AMG dealers on a repeat basis. Check out www.kbb.com to enter what you're buying and get a good range of discount, it's pretty accurate. Good luck.

the possibility of an R8 years from now is not an incentive. The “I know abc” people who will buy is also not an incentive
In business, not just the car business, a deal has to be fair - for both sides, and should be enjoyable.
A dealer can reach 300k, and more, of a targeted audience with the means to purchase and who are in the buying market now, quite easily and without a major cash outlay

not to mention, those that you actually want to do business with

there are less than 18 160 RS5's coupes in stock in the country, which is down quite a bit from recent months

The dealers around me must have overestimated demand on the RS5 because they have had the same vehicles sitting for months but have also had no S4s or S5s to sell since September or the first part of October.

Just chiming in
Put a deposit on a fully loaded 2019 S5 in late October. Was told it was in port already - release date has been changed three times and is now just a question mark per my dealer. The first wave of releases from port reportedly happened last week - all 2.0 liter vehicles. The 4.0 liter vehicles are supposedly going to be released from port in the coming week(s).
Ignorant question - is my car a “launch” car if it’s been in port for 2 months already?
