The best price is MSRP, pretty much anywhere. I just got mine and I love the car. I went back and forth with the Corvette and the 911 Porsche. For the value the Vette is the car but for the performance and handling the Porsche is king. And then I saw this S5, all I can say is WOW this is the car of my dreams. Drove it, it drove like the Porsche with the same hp but 25k less. Plus you have full back seats that a normal person can fit into just incase. More options than the Porsche, and much nicer interior than the Porsche. Totally forgot about the Vette. Go test drive an S5, you wont be dissapointed. As for the interest rate they started at 7.4 and I got them down to 6.19 and then went to 5.49 for 60 months or less. I ordered one and they told me 90 days. A week later someone cancelled there S5 and I took it. So I waited a week and had one by luck in Palm Beach. They have a White/Tuscan available for sale in Feb. or the demo right now if they still have it.

Shape is the same, just missing the Hi-Perf motor and all the up grades.

S5 Purchase by rjb6

Just put a $2,500 deposit on an 2009 S5 Automatic. Could have negotiated that deposit price but didn't. He also said it was a non-refundable deposit. Again, could have negotiated for refundable clause e.g. car must arrive before XX date or stuff like that.
 
Had to 0rder a 2009 and got the dealerships last 2009 Allocation slot. Dealer's allocations are by transmission type also.
 
They are talking about a July Delivery - but I have no clue how accurate that is.
 
NO pricing as the MSRP is not released.
 
They also have a new 2009 Only option - Slot Box?? Can't remember what it is called but it allows you to adjust the suspension and drive on the fly. Not sure if I want to pay the 1500 to 3000 price tag. They don't know how much it is yet.
 
Debated between the following cars:
 - Infiniti Sedan G35x (currently own an 05)
 - BMW Coupe 335xi
 
All of which are great cars and worthy of purchase and enjoyment. Been seriously considering the S5 since Dec-07 and Finally Today April-08 signed.
 
I think my Girlfriend is very happy that she does not have to get dragged along to an endless line up of dealerships on Sat/Sun days.

I ordered my 2008 S5 manual transmission model in January from a dealer here in Milwaukee, WI. The dealership is being very ellusive about providing any information to me as to when I might get my car and I'm getting really impatient! I called a dealer in Chicago and she told me 10 months!!! Is this possible? I have an S4 that is almost out of warranty and I want to get rid of it but I can't believe I have to wait 10 more months for my car. Does this sound right or is the Midwest just the wrong place to find an S5? I will travel if need be to get an S5...gotta have it!

10 months I dont know if the dealers are telling the truth or not.
 
IMO very high end luxury don't even take 10months. well maybe an aston takes around 2 years but audi 10months
 
You should really check somewhere.
 
You can also read other posts here who have ordered the s5 they will get delivery within 3 to 4 months.

I'm in Illinois and am 8th in line in the West Suburbs. They think that they'll probably have an allocation for me in November with the ability to take European delivery between May and August 2009.
There was one 'demo' (grey and red that all the dealers got) that was 10k above msrp because of the immediate availability.
 
I have a 2000 C70 which is never going away so I can afford to wait 14-19 months. But I imagine you'll find the same answer at all the dealers that you'll be ending up somewhere to 3rd to 10th in line depending on where in the Chciagoland area you go.
 
Within a 30 mile radius of the city the dealers can be pretty awful and snobby. That's why I went 31 miles out.
