I had not heard of that, funny thing in my case, i had pre-traded my 18 Q7 so by the time i got the Q8 i was not even thinking owner loyalty. The Sales manager called me 2 days before i was to pick up the car, I had made the arrangements with him so he knew i was not taking a loan, that i don't like to have liens on my cars. He is the one that told me that if i wanted to finance i could save another 1000 and he brought up paying it off when the 1st payment came due. Then I asked if there was a pre-payment penalty [which I knew is not legal in WI] but i asked to see what he said and he did say no. So he encouraged me to take the loan, get the 1000 credit and pay it off.

That coincides with my experience. They had the car sold to me for what sounds to be, comparatively, a pretty steep discount. Can't imagine him calling to tell me to do something that was going to cut into his margin even more. Now he says that he would not make my deal again.His original allotment was not sold out so he changed an already placed order for me to get mine. Then some of the original stuff sat on the lot so he might have been thinking that the demand was going to be low. He has since indicated that he has found the sweet-spot/s to moving them quickly: Anything with Year One or generally those at the lower end of the MSRP range.
