Replying to: packrfan (Mar 16, 2008 11:32 am) Yep, placed the order at the end of February and expect delivery end of May. Good timing to get it out on the road when the weather is better.
#20 of 59 I test drove it today in Houston, TX by lexusbunny Mar 22, 2008 (7:44 pm)
It is NICE! I have to say it is a sweet ride. I really am not too into fast cars and all that stuff but boy this one gives me the chill. They only have 1 in their dealer. They said that not all dealers have this car either. They didn't really spend too much time telling us about the car cuz they know it's not available I guess. Pretty much just gave us the key and let us drove it out the lot.   The sales also mentioned that these cars are selling about 90K Euro in Europe and so Audi really prefer selling it over there than over here cuz they get more money for the same car. I went to Audi Europe and UK website and they are indeed higher prices then the US. Also she said the Europeans mostly want the manual one so if you order the automatic one it will be faster.   It is a nice car but I probably will just go with my second choice. I need to keep reminding myself it's just a way to get me between work and home...

Replying to: kyfdx (Nov 11, 2007 6:52 pm) After 3 Different orders, I settled on a Black One instead of the Deep Sea Blue I opted for. The car was sold, but the first buyer backed out (just got laid off).   Anyway, I paid sticker with the free Audi Car Package (like a $850 Value). But, this was when the A5 had very limited availability. Now, it is still limited, but still somewhat are. I would expect to pay sticker anyway.   Good Luck Replies to this message: carcrazed (Jan 05, 2009 10:36 pm) goldendragon18 (Jan 06, 2009 6:43 pm) carcrazed (Jan 06, 2009 8:18 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: adavis2493 (Jan 04, 2009 2:26 pm) I recently spoke to two dealers, one in Schaumburg, IL and one in Naperville, IL. The cars are in limited supply still but you should be able to get one for just under sticker due to the economy now and that inventories, while still tight, are not as tight as they were 6 months ago. You may have to wait for an order if you do not like the options they have on the few that are on their lots, if any. On-line you can search inventories within a certain mile radius and this should be helpful if you are willing to travel a bit or have it transported. I drove 100 miles to get mine as it was optioned perfectly and was a phenomenal deal - they needed to sell more cars on 12/31 to get their bonus.   A few messages above, it was questioned why people aren't buying these. These cars are highly desirable but sales are limited primarily due to Audi's allocation limits to the U.S. An order generally takes 4 months and if you have to have it today, you are limited to the few the dealer has on hand, if they have any.

Replying to: carcrazed (Jan 05, 2009 10:36 pm) 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?? 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 Replies to this message: carcrazed (Jan 06, 2009 8:18 pm) kyfdx (Jan 07, 2009 9:19 am)

Replying to: goldendragon18 (Jan 06, 2009 6:43 pm) 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.
