One of the Audi dealer told me that the deals are reviewed by Corporate so they are hesitant to take too much off and would rather throw in for free some things of value (I don't know if this is true or not, though). Total BS.. Audi can't tell their dealers what to sell a car for... either high or low.. Nice to see that prices are coming down, though... the A5 is a spectacular looking car..

Hello goldendragon, Right now in Chicago I don't think one can do better than $2k off of a new one that is on the lot regardless of the options. One of the Audi dealer told me that the deals are reviewed by Corporate so they are hesitant to take too much off and would rather throw in for free some things of value (I don't know if this is true or not, though). I think it is worth trying to negotiate say $1k off and have them throw in the Audi Care maintenance package ($650) and possibly paint protection for free (assuming you would like this). the best way to do this I think is to know the options that you would like and call a dealer that you are least likely to buy from. Yes, least likely as this will be your starting point. Ask for the Sales manager and indicate another dealer in your area is willing to give you the car you want for $1k off with free Audi care and ask them if they can beat it. the way to pull this off is you have to sound credible. If they think you are just shopping price and do not have a real motivation to work with them, they may just brush you off. I have tried this method on my last four car purchases and once you have a price from one dealer, you just call the next sales manager ending with the dealers you are most interested in. I really don't know the deals in DC but you will find out pretty quickly with this method. Good luck and please keep me posted.

Hey carcrazed! i was just wondering. what was the price for your A5? with such a new car, i don't have a target price. :( and in the washington dc area we have about 20 in the lots of the about 6 or so dealers. that should help the negotiations in my favor?? :confuse: most of the cars here are similarly equiped with nav tech adn premium package. most are auto trans and fewer with the S line package. Thanks

Hi Car_Man, Thanks for responding! Do you have the updated money factor and residual for January for 09 quattro with 10k, 12k and 15k miles on 36 mo lease with Audi care? Do you know when would Audi come up with similar numbers for CVT? Are they planning to have any special lease program for CVT model like they did for 08 A4 CVT last year? Thanks!
