I would be curious to see what their monthly RS5 allocation is. If it's very small (like one), I don't blame them at all for marking it up at this time. Yea it'll sit at the dealership for a while and have a carrying cost, but if you only have one, you're not as inclined to let it leave your showroom floor.

Audi North Scottsdale has one in Misano Red at MSRP. No BS markup. Beautiful car! I just saw it a couple of hours ago... still available. I can hook you up with the sales guy (that sold me all my Audis), just DM me and I'll be happy to connect.

I got a thousand dollars off MSRP, but no further deals despite my efforts. I refused all the rest of the dealer add-ons. Pick up tomorrow! I would never pay above MSRP, I just couldn't stomach that.

When the BMW X5 first debuted in the US many years ago, someone paid $220,000 for the first one.

A new or almost new 2018 Porsche's GT3 are about ~ $20K to $30K above MSRP if you can't be in line... and that is for a truly limited run car... Now, that does not make it right, fair or acceptable for a GT3... even less so for an RS. With that said th market will respond... as it always does. For $110K go buy a 911.

This may be their version of a "Not for Sale" sign so as to keep the car in the showroom for long enough to take some orders for factory builds? Although I believe build allocations are very tight too. The dealer might be happy to wear the money cost of having RS cars in the showroom to attract foot traffic, which I could understand.

I never thought of that, but you may be right. Having and new RS5 on the showroom might attract people in to look at it and if they only have one in stock they might want it to hang around until the next one arrives.
