Default Audi Care - (Recent) prices paid

I know the MSRP for Audi Care on the S4 is $850, but what are dealers actually quoting, and what are you Audi fans actually paying for it? Although I've read threads about some getting Audi Care for free, I would not see a dealer including it to sell an S4 that is usually sold before it hots the lot anyway.

If I order the S4, I am going with Audi Care. IMHO, the 1% bump in residual value on a lease make it a no-brainer for me.

Default I paid $750 - thought that was fair (in Toronto)

I'll still do oil changes in between the Audi Care intervals ... having Audi do the first checks maintains warranty integrity (and gives me a chance to bitcx about anything else I find

Audi Care dealer margin is very thin. Cost is close to the retail pricing.

While Audi Care may have been "thrown in", the cost to the dealer was close to the retail price. It just means that they discounted the car another $800 or so to get the sale. Regardless, it was a win for you.

For those that got Audicare for free. Did you also get the car for $500 over invoice?

Or you could ask it this way: Did anyone get the car without Audi Care for $300 under invoice? Same thing.

MSRP was $56,400, I paid $52,110. I have no idea what the invoice is or how I would even find out that info so if someone in the know would like to tell me how much over invoice I paid that would be great.

Easy. Take MSRP, subtract freight, multiply by 93%, add freight back in and you have your invoice cost.
This would not include sales tax and any fees of course. Also, there are dealer incentives for meeting quota, selling certain vehicles, etc. but they are usually not tied to any one car and impossible for a consumer to calculate.
Loyalty rebates are reimbursed by Audi to the dealer so they are discounts for the buyer but don't cost the dealer.
