RS5 Sportback - Prices Paid & Experience

Does Audi Finance usually have a low interest rate special at some point during the year? If so, when or is it random? and does it apply to any Audi purchase or limited to specific models?

That's good to know. I have an S5 scheduled to arrive in a few months and am hoping the loyalty discount will be active when it arrives (I will not be financing or leasing).

I posted this in another thread but I took a RS 5 SB for a test drive on the weekend and while it's definitely a really nice car I wasn't wowed by it like I was expecting to be. I have a S5 SB right now and while the stiffer suspension, fender flares, and exhaust pops and backfires are cool it didn't feel much different from my S5. I drove on the highway and in the city and the only difference I really noticed was that it behaved with it's transmission in "D" mode like my S5 does in "S" mode but without the higher RPMs.
I was expecting to walk away from the test drive wanting get one but I didn't get that. I just can't see paying a 50% premium in my monthly payment over my S5.

Do you know what their lowest rate for a RS5 SB would be right now. I still have a few months before mine arrives but starting to think about the financing options. I've went though Audi Finance for my current car and had a good experience with them way back when but will happily go elsewhere if their rates aren't competitive.

That's better than my credit union. Maybe I need to find a better one hehe. I still have like 4 month until mine arrives Maybe I'll get a better deal by then though.. (crossing fingers).

I did a bunch of research trying to find the lowest rate I could. Most of the rates were around the low 3's. The 2.74% is still not as good as the 2.5% my wife got when we bought her Acura a few years back. My credit is actually better now then hers was then. The rates have just been trending up. I'm pretty content with the rate though. You still have a decent amount of time. Maybe the rates will come down. Where do you live?
