Just about to pull the trigger!! Can I improve on this deal

Post by aled_31 » Sun Dec 01, 2013 11:32 pm

Well after 2 B7's and a stint in a few other Audi's / BM's I'm considering ordering a B8 RS4 as follows: (just got to break the news to the wife now :oops: :oops: )

Daytona Grey
Sports Pack
Full leather super sports seats
Heated Front Seats
Privacy Glass
Audi Connect / Telephone High

Car is coming in at £59,770. Best deal that I've been offered so far is approx. 8% discount plus £5k contribution which equates to buying the car for a smidge under £50k (£9,800 discount). The car will be a factory order. The dealer has also said that if the finance contribution improves prior to me taking delivery in Q2, then they'll pass on the further discount which is pretty fair.

For those who have bought (and played "hard ball"!!) do you think that I can do any better??

Cheers.
Current:
B9 RS4 Avant in Missano
1991 Mk2 Golf GTI 8v, Big Bumper in Oak Green
1960 VW Beetle 1200 (6 volt, 34hp!)
1999 Porsche Boxster 2.5

On Order:
B9.5 RS4 Avant in Daytona

Previous:
3 x B7 Avants in Sprint, Phantom and Daytona (Loved that car!!)
3 x B8 Avants in Daytona, Phantom and Ibis
2 x B9 Avants in Missano (x2), Daytona
1 x B8 S4 Avant in Sprint

Just sent you a pm...

Don't pull the trigger until you've made contact with the guys at Kings Lynn :bigblink: as they'll better that deal.

Myself and 3 others that I know of have saved 10% (pre vat) plus the £5k, just mention you want the same deal as me (abyss)

if you take the finance deal/pcp you should get another 2K from the dealer (which they then claim back from audi).
Look at the current offer/campaign - its 7K discount. I also got 8 % too .
B8 RS4 - Daytona, Privacy Glass, Convenience pack, B&O, Pan roof, Parking advanced,Hill Hold, Heated seats.
Audi Q7 Sline plus - Daytona, Tech Pack hi, Storage pack/Towing equip.
Past - 911 C4S (997), S5, S3, TT 3.2, B7 RS4, B6 S4, Boxster, '83 911SC, Corrado G60

You've got two ends to the deal with Audi : you've got the high line figure, but also your px value (assuming you have a PX)
Needless to say, you've got quite a lot of manoeuvrability at both ends, but I think only the top end effects the salesman's margin, so hit them hard with the px too

Always worth phoning around a few dealers too as most will be up for outdoing another when they're not in the same franchise group

You can definitely get better.
I managed 10% off in addition to the £5000 Audi contribution.

Sounds like its worth trying Kings Lynn, Martyn at Bath Audi, broadspeed if you haven't spoke to them already and speak to Worthing Audi too.

Just approach a few dealers with the price you want to pay. I spoke to broad speed first and they set the price for me. I then called three dealers and the only one to call be back in the day for the deal, at the price I said I'd do a deal.

Good luck.

I've used Martyn in the past but he wouldn't budge past £7k even though Bristol offered £8700

My first RS4 has just arrived at Kings Lynn this week and I can't praise Tristan and the guys enough, so much so I'm currently pricing an Rs6 up with them, as yet again they're offering favourable deals in those too.
