Opinions on price please.
Will make this quick and easy.
Brand new (~80 miles so seen a few test drives) 2014 SQ5 with MSRP of $57,740. Almost no haggle offer from Audi dealer of $51,200. I can probably get them down another $500 maybe more. Thoughts on offer? Good, bad?
Also it does not have MMI which I don't think is a big deal... but please tell me if I am wrong. Seems like a lot of dough for navigation and back up cam... what else would I be missing?
Thanks.

No MMI Navi is why they're willing to deal, if you're not going to miss it, then go for it.
Most people would probably rather spend the $3400 (2014 pricing) on MMI Navi, then spend $3600 on wheels, carbon inlays, Napa Leather, side assist and supercharged badges.

Just as a second thought, I did not have MMI on my loaner and honestly did not miss it. I know where I am going in my area and could always use the iphone to navigate.
11% off msrp is really great.

I can tell you that back in April, I got 7.5% discounted off MSRP. You seem to be about 11% off msrp. Pretty damn good for an Audi. And who needs MMI anyway....got great navigation on your phone.
One more thing. If you go to your bank or credit union and get pre approved for however much you want to finance, it is like having cash and puts you in a much better bargaining position. Good lock!
Personally, I enjoy the negotiating process, and a good salesperson will actively negotiate with you

If the SQ5 not having the MMI/Nav doesn't matter to you, then I say go for it. Most people want the MMI/Nav, so that makes it harder for the dealer to sell this particular vehicle. Use that to your advantage. Let them know you would rather have the Nav, but if they sweeten the deal enough, you would compromise. :-)
If you get it, please do post back your final details.
Good luck!

That's part of my question, am I nuts to consider an Audi without MMI? What am I missing that people won't buy a car without it? Maybe I need to see one with it to decide. Or does 11-12% off sufficiently negate the age and no MMI that I would be nuts not to jump on it? I guess only I can decide. Will sleep on it. Good tips, thx.

All Audi models have MMI, without navigation. NAV is an additional option
MMI in all models, just different screen resolution, with different system linking other devices CAN bus or MOST-bus

MMI operates a large number of in car entertainment components, car electronics, and other functions. The list below indicates the scope of systems controllable by MMI. However, depending on the actual car model, along with which version was specified (MMI Basic, MMI High, etc.), only some, and not all functions will be applicable or available.
Satellite navigation, including traffic management (TMC) - option
Radio tuner
CD changer
TV tuner - option
Telephone and directory
Heating, ventilation, air conditioning, climate control, and seat heating
Car setup (e.g. central locking and convenience function (coming home/leaving home, power sunroof and windows) options, global audio settings, suspension settings etc.)
Driver information (e.g. fuel economy statistics (often encompassed by "trip computer" functions), battery level, tire-pressure monitoring, etc.)
User manual (full on-board car user manual, displayed on screen)
