Default Any new-car promotions/incentives for March?

With ordering stopped, I am wondering if we'll see any incentives to clear out the MY13s. I don't remember anything when the B8.5s came out, but thought I'd double check.

As a side note, I pinged an out-of-state dealer about a CPO. He tried to convert me to a new car, claiming invoice plus incentive. I thought, sure.

He came in at 4.3% off list before the $1000 "rebate".

There is hardly any inventory on the ground to clear out, much less incentives on them. Sorry to be so frank, but incentives and promos aren't how Audi operates.

Wouldn't hurt to check the AoA website and the dealership website.

I bought my car last April when they were close to releasing the B8.5 facelift and didn't see any promotions going on. Think the closest thing I've seen were deals on loan interest rates.

They were offering Loyalty incentive to current Audi owners and Conquest incentive to owners of certain luxury brands last month and in early March. I am not sure if it is still offered but you can check on Audi website.

As the the new models start to arrive (prob July), dealers will want to move the old models out of their inventory and often will be more amenable to deeper discounts. (Car manufacturers will sometimes provide dealers allowances on old models at that time). Choices will be more limited to what is left, however.

I am not sure there are not incentives now. I just this week closed a lease on an 2013 S4 Prestige with an MSRP of $61,00+. There is a $1000 Audi loyalty this month and a $750 AFS discount for March that was applied. Lease interest rates are really good. My monthly lease price is actually LESS than what I was paying for my 2011 S4 prem plus that I am turning in. And that had an MSRP of $53,800. And, the residual values on the Prestige models are 2% less than they are for Prem Plus. What does all this mean? There are deals to be had and there is inventory. I called around to local dealers and found 5 cars with the specs I wanted that I could have gone with with similar pricing.

Have to disagree on that. Just bought a brand new 2013 S4 Premium Plus and right off the bat dealers were telling me invoice plus loyalty rebate and S4 incentive. I shopped a few dealers and ended up with $500 under invoice plus $1,000.00 loyalty plus $750 S4 lease incentive. You just have to look around and be aggressive.

There apparently is an Audi Financial Services lease cash bonus of $750 for A4/S4/Allroad through April 2. I am unsure of the requirements to qualify (only for existing AFS customers?), but it can be combined with either the loyalty or conquest incentives.

Can anyone confirm the date when this lease cash offer started?
