Default Audi S8 - New Purchase

My first Audi was back in 2013 when I had purchased a 2014 Q5 TDI. I always liked the fit and finish and the car was extremely reliable.

Over the years I’ve been blessed with many different cars that I’ve traded in and out of.

I recently decided to change my daily as it’s not just not the most practical and I also want to keep the miles low. It’s a 992 Turbo S coupe.

I looked at the 760i and didn’t really find the exterior appealing and decided to settle on the S8. I test drove one yesterday, which had every option I desired except the predictive suspension. Car felt great and I was impressed.

I found one at a northern dealer that was a good color spec and had all the options I was looking for. I secured the following deal, please let me know your thoughts.

MSRP: $153,820
(Night Vision, B&O Upgrade, Comfort Plus, Executive, 5 pass. arrangement rear premium seating, predictive suspension)

Negotiated Dealer Discount: 10%
Costco Rebate: $3k
Audi FFS 72 mos. @ 1.99% APR.

I think I did pretty good but curious to see what others are seeing. The $10k Audi rebate wasn’t saving nearly as much as the better APR. I tacked on Audi care for 48 mos. and T&W warranty. Dealer discounted the T&W heavily. The Audicare package was a flat rate.

Color is Sebring Black Crystal with Merlot Red.
