hello everyone, my first post. i just placed an order for an ice silver 2014 S4, 6MT, sports diff, nav, and 19's. i emailed numerous dealers and got a great price playing them off each other. thinking there's no way anyone could go any lower, i went in, signed some papers, and put down a deposit. of course, after i get home, i get an email from another dealer saying he'd go even lower, low enough that it's causing me a little angst. i'm happy with the price i signed for, as it's significantly lower than everyone else's, except for this one dealer. is there anything i could do to either get out of the deal (doubtful) or do you think the dealer would be nice enough to match the price, even though i already put down a deposit? anyone have an experience like this? in any case, i'm happy to be joining the S4 family!

You signed a contract, you're stuck with it. There is always going to be a better deal out there if you look long enough. You could ask your dealer to match the price, but why would they? Just be happy you got a good deal and look forward to delivery.

Almost all dealers will let you out of a deposit with most even refunding the deposit. It's a dealer by dealer thing, but you could lose the deposit.

How much of a difference are we talking about?

500. Not that much but just enough to make me think. maybe i'll ask him to throw in the carbon inlays. haha. again, i got a pretty good price regardless, 5200 off MSRP, plus whatever loyalty incentive (wife has a 2013 Q5 2.0) they have when it gets delivered (currently 1000), so i don't care that much. plus, the salesperson was cool and the dealer is close to my house, so i guess i could look at it as a little extra commission for good service. thanks for the reply guys. now the hard part of waiting 3 months!!

$500 is what it is, but looking at the experience you received and that it is a place you will visit for maintenance, was it worth $500 over the other dealership?

Good deal for sure

exactly sir. i'm not sweating it anymore, pretty satisfied. of course, i tell the wife it's not a big deal, and she goes "aw man that's a shopping spree!" hahaha. women.

You deposit is refundable. And unless the dealership with which you signed the contract is a lot farther from your home, or there are other mitigating circumstances, forgetabout it. Make sure the dealer has allocation

RickFLS4

That's where you went wrong. Ha ha.

dealership is the closest to my house, and we get our Q5 serviced there already, so i'm sure the level of service i will get will more than offset the 500.
