2015 S4 ordered!
I just ordered a 2015 S4 in Sepang Blue Pearl Effect with Black/Silver leather. The car is going to have the following options:
- Premium Plus
- 6 spd manual
- Tech Pkg (Navi, side assist, etc.)
- B&O
- Sport Diff
- Adaptive Damping Suspension
- Nappa Leather
- 19" wheels
- Layered Aluminum/Black wood inlays
- Alu-Optic pkg (alu-optic side sill blades with supercharged badging)
My dealer was able to give me the supplier discount (6% off) plus the Audi Loyalty discount ($1,000 off).
Now the waiting game begins!
Two questions...anyone know how to find the tracking tool to track the progress of your car? My SA had heard of it, but didn't know any details.
Second...any picture of B8.5 (refresh) Sepang Blue cars out there? I couldn't find any.
Thanks!

As for the trade, they would give me $34,200 today for my existing S4, but obviously the price would go down some between now and when the new S4 arrives. I am guessing about $500 or so.
I think the overall deal was pretty solid...

Another Plug for ACNA
When we started looking for my wife's car, I was very pleased that being an ACNA member took 6% off the Monroney up-front, without any haggling. That opened up the potential for going to several regional dealers to see what was in their inventory, though we ultimately semi-ordered her car from the local dealer. They found a car coming into the RI port, and shipped it to NC.
BTW, I have no personal stake in ACNA, but it's a great purchase program- better than BMW, and as for PCA, non-existent there.
YMMV,
John

Have you considered selling the S4 yourself? When my wife ordered her A6, the only reason we thought about trading it was to offset the taxes. In NC, tax on a new car is only 3%. We sold her GTI on craigslist, and came out a few thousand ahead. I guess another reason to trade is the hassle of dealing with people who might or might not be serious buyers, but we had a very good experience.
Just my 2 cents.

None of them had any allocation in the pipeline for 2015 6-speed manuals yet. So I think I am going to be waiting at least 90 days this time around.

I preferred it when they sent you a check for $500 after you bought or leased the car without involving them. For example, when we got our first Audi (wife's Q5) we got a great deal through the Costco program (better than 6% off MSRP) PLUS a $500 check from ACNA. In that respect the membership fees are clearly worth it because you know the benefit you get back vs. dues.

Do a courtesy trade! Post the car online for sale, find a buyer, and have them buy it through your dealership. Dealer will usually charge $100 or so to do it. Since you found your own buyer you get the discount on your car and a further tax discount on your "trade".
