Just about to get a new RS4. It's my first ever brand new car and I can't describe how excited I am. I want to drive a hard bargain and wondered how much I can realistically negotiate off the asking price.

Many thanks

DTD are offering £8.7k if you take out Audi finance or £6.7k without!

Any more than that will be a bonus. IMO

If you are taking Audi finance look VERY closely at the APR.

Have a read here - http://forum.rs246.com/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=11...

Up to 15% appears to be achievable.

If you go on rs246 forum there is a recent thread on just this topic, one guy managed to get 15 per cent off a stock car. I took delivery last week, ordered mine last autumn and got 12 per cent off a factory order, which equated to about 7.5k off, using audi finance for a PCP. I used a DTD quote to push my local dealer, it does work but depends on how the dealers doing. A lot of guys on the RS forum rave about kings Lynn audi, but they couldn't match my dealer. Still running in, but it is a lovely car, if a little thirsty, you won't be disappointed mate.

It says 4.9% APR.

I bought mine last year with £9k (~15%) off and an additional £1700 on the trade in on my RS5.

That's probably representative so you might be one of the 49% of people that don't qualify.

I got suckered by this by an audi salesman and am annoyed at myself for not checking the final fixed rate. It wasn't much but it was still a few hundred quid over the term out of my pocket when the bank would have matched the representative rate.

Cheers everyone, I think I might give DTD a try and see how I get on. I am not sure how long it will take for delivery but if you see a blue RS4 tear-arsing it around the Cumbrian roads in a few months then you will know its me.

Thanks for your help
