RS6 Avant Deposit/Order- Waiting & Chat Room

[RMode]

Thanks for the info.
When I was talking to the sales guy, he said it would take an additional two months.
When you finally got it, was it the model year you ordered or did they give you a new model year?

No one can quote you how long it will take for an AE order. Anyone who does, is, in a word, lying. All they can (and should) tell you is “it takes longer”.

Secondly, you’re not even in the window as far as I know, for an AE order to be submitted to begin with.

Just order the car from Roger - you’ll be far, far better off.

Got it. Thanks.
I was going to look into ordering from him, but just in the month I’ve been here I’ve seen he does so much, I wouldn’t want to bother him.
I’m also 15 hours away and didn’t know if it could be delivered here.
I should probably ask and not assume….

[RMode]

You’re not bothering him - if anything you’re thanking him in a direct way by doing business with him.

I worked for Audi for many years. I no longer do. I’ve owned many, many, many new Audis dating back 25 years (long before I worked for them). If I elect to order another, it will only be from Roger.

[STALKER]

I think 11ish months is about the standard for AE paint and allotment doesn’t automatically equal AE. Have you checked dealers for AE cars already on the ground that meet your spec? As an example, I ordered my 2024 AE the day the ordering opened in July of 2023 and took delivery in June of 2024 ahead of the original schedule.

Mine took exactly 11 months.

[tinmanwpk]

My AE order took 6 months. Ordered in July, I pick it up this Friday.

[Daily Driver]

I ordered my AE in July of '23.... won't be here until April or May this year.

[mrebusa]

I ordered my 25' AE October 24,' and the current delivery date is the end of March 25'.

That trim/black wheel combo doesn’t look great IMO. Maybe it’s the darkness of the Velvet Purple, for my money Merlin is the best purple.

$999 Pre Delivery Service Fee, they have got to be joking!

[Nickos1]

Ha amen to that. They nearly all try it, absolute thieves.

That purple looks really great. But I’m an outlier in that black wheels are just not to my taste with any paint.

[Paphguy]

I'm not a fan of the black wheels either. Don't know if I'm an outlier because i want the chrome rings and not the blacked out packages.

[Nickos1]

Agree. Chrome rings and model designation and light colored wheels look great.

I like the blacked out window trim, blades and rear diffuser though.

Numbers update. A note on the GTs - they've all been built, but so far only 1 has turned up in Canada and 1 in the US.

Nice work Group_B! Thanks so much. Would you by chance have any info. on RS7s sales also?

[mmorgan216]

Found this thread to be very informative while I was waiting on an AE RS7 during the pandemic.
Thinking about the RsQ8 for the wife. Any way to get one without the skylight? I’m sure the one that just set the SUV record has a metal roof and more light is not wanted in Florida.

It’s not like the VAG doesn’t like to charge extra for customization. The Uris can be had with a metal roof.

Following are examples of how VAG loves to charge me for customization.

One of the consequences of the RS6 coming to North America is that RS7 sales have fallen off a cliff.

It's AE. There have been others built in Porsche colors in the past.

My incoming '25 is a Porsche color with interior AE. Scheduled to be built in March- I ordered it way back in July '23... part of the long runway was waiting for appropriate windows to open, but also not sure my dealership is super high volume with RS allocations.

Chalk has to much beige in it, I think Nardo overall is a nicer colour.

Congrats kits0n! Looks great! Enjoy for many miles in the best of health!

We lived in Severna Park for several years, and then moved back briefly to Edgewater for a year. Seeing snow on the ground is a rarity!! I remember how people would buy every container of milk and toilet paper if they said the word “snow” on the news. Grocery shelves would be emptied, no bread in sight. And it usually would melt in a day or two. Hope you’re staying warm and able to enjoy your beautiful new car!

yup, I must been lucky ;) .. Just got a 2025. E-mail dealer Oct 11th, find out open allocation, spec it the way I want. Oct 15 was locked in. Dec 20th it was loaded on ship. Dec 28 arrived at port. 4 days on the train, then 2 weeks waiting for it to be trucked the last 120km.. About 105 days. (where my RS5 was 8 months)

Hey all, I've been considering putting in an order for an RS6 the beginning of March. My local dealer seems to think there wouldn't be an issue getting an allocation, but they want to mark it up about 5k. This would be my first car purchase over $60k, so I'm not sure exactly how to negotiate it. How much is everyone else paying? I also saw that this is going to be the last year for production, I don't want to miss the ordering window. Any advice?

Shop around. I wouldn’t pay over in this market/economy.

I picked up mine this month at $1000 under MSRP.

There are new Z06 vettes around that are $5k off sticker. My dealership tried the same, they wanted $10k, then $5k. We settled at $0 over sticker without much fuss.

[NoGarageQueen]

MSRP and a very small discount (ordered March 2024, delivered Aug 2024).

[turtle631]

My dealer was willing to do 1K under MSRP for a new order.

[Audi FC]

I'm starting to call around to dealers to place an order. Fine paying sticker, but the shops in my area (Northern California) are still asking $20k over MRSP, which is insane. Will likely need to expand my radius a bit.

I had one dealer tell me that I can't order an RS6 anymore because they are being replaced with the RS7 Avant. So basically, they are not available anymore apart from current allocations.

Based on this thread, it sounds like they are still readily available. Has anyone placed an order recently? At MSRP?

[NevesXis]

I picked up mine, built to order, about 3-4 weeks back. I paid MSRP less $2,500 and bought mine in Denver.

The market has flattened considerably, so MSRP (even small ~$1-2K discounts available) - at most volume dealers that can get allocations. I can spec an order right now, even with AE still open for the Avant, so ...

[Kimomono]

Thanks for the info. I’ll check with my dealer to see if they are willing to at least get to MSRP. Has anyone had any luck with getting any maintenance packages or warranties thrown in as well?

I ordered one in Norcal at MSRP with some minor haggling. Ordered just last month.

It's doable, but you'll want to call around. One dealer was still asking for 50k over for a car on the showroom floor. Said it would be more for a factory order. Easiest walkaway of my life.

I can DM you the dealer/salesperson if you're in the SF Bay Area.

Word of advice...get that in writing. Your order timing depends on what specs you chose and where the dealer is in the queue. Roger is a resource for all of us on timing, but you need the commission number first.

It IS in production, but with AE paint - especially a Matte finish, it can take longer as that paint is a very special logistics setup. AE cars can take up to 4-6 weeks in production (and as little as one like the rest) - just depends ... remind me again next week.

Looks like #680 is Daisy Leader. went into Emden 3/3/25, spent about 24 hours at VW dock, then on to Bremerhaven and left on 3/6 directly to Cristobal, Panama canal.
Due in San Diego 3/31.

If you didn’t already find this, you can track it on different sites. In the past I’ve used Marine Tracker. I’ve never subscribed or created an account. If you subscribe or upgrade you get more info.

Once the ship is at sea, my experience is that the tracking may not show any progress for days. Once it gets closer to the continent it updates more frequently. It can be hit or miss, but at least you have a general idea of what’s happening.

Here’s the link to Daisy Leader on Marine Traffic:

Thanks for info @No Garage Queen

I was able to backtrack Daisy on https://www.myshiptracking.com/ to see that it had berthed at Emden on 3/4/25, which aligned with my (only ever) notice from Audi factory that my car had departed 03/04 2025.

My dealer keeps me pretty well updated and sent me the Vehicle Details sheet which showed Departure on 03/04/2025 on ship #680, but he doesn't know what ship #680 is.

Other than following the track backwards there is no mention of Daisy berthing at Emden anywhere, only that she departed Bremerhaven for Cristobal 04/06/2025.

Those are just the VW RO-RO stops btw (VW, Audi, Porsche, Bentley & Lambo). Other forwarders can schedule intermediate stops for others too (like BMW). On Marine Traffic you can see the it has since left Bremerhaven (after Emden) on the 7 Mar, and is due into Cristobal, PA (ahead of San Diego) on 21 Mar... nothing really unusual here.

Hi Roger, also new here. Any info on my comm X48671 ?

[arnold742001]

Thank you. Is there something the dealer needs to do or is it an Audi corporate thing where they have to wait on an allocation.

Hi Roger, also new here. Any info on my comm X48671 ?

In Production 7 April, current ETA (Audi Pembroke Pines) 06/29/2025 - 07/19/2025

[rnlabas]

Thank you. Is there something the dealer needs to do or is it an Audi corporate thing where they have to wait on an allocation.

They will need to wait on an allocation (sometime next week I think), and then award based on their priority - they SHOULD tell you where you stand on that list. I have an OPEN allocation right now - but not for long - maybe this weekend only !!!

Good evening, Roger. Interesting thing popped up on my order (COMM#Q73745). It is on hold for "Price" as of 3/12. My salesman thinks it may be due to impending tariffs/etc. It is an AE interior order, and the price shown on the order page does not reflect the AE options, only the standard options. I'm hoping it's the latter instead of the former. Any insight?

[jashford]

Hey all - for any New Yorkers looking for a new ride...

Couldn’t help myself so went to check it out in person… SM said that ADM is set at $100k! Good luck to them.

No AE pricing shows until the car actually clears customs and gets a Monroney - too many variables due to timing to advance pricing. Price holds are not unusual, especially with AE cars - As for tariff pricing holds, I haven't seen nor heard of that happening yet - There's too much tariff-go 'rounds stuff happening every day to keep track...

[DOCEVG]

Too lazy to search forums: are dealers still charging ADMs on MY '25s and, if so, how much?

[Jmg944t]

I got mine at sticker for an ordered car, some are getting small discounts for dealer stock.

[tinmanwpk]

$1000 under sticker for AE color.

[44-004]

Dealer wants $9000 over sticker for order with AE paint.

Ouch!

[Nickos1]

Same exact experience, but varies by market. I wanted a specific order so paid sticker but on the lot cars I could've gotten up to $7k off so around 5%.

[spyderbret1]

It varies by market but in Las Vegas, Audi Las Vegas is asking $10k over on the 2 RS6's and 1 RS7 they have in stock. Seems crazy to me. I dont know about Audi Henderson....

Audi Henderson will do MSRP. Easily the best dealership in LV. Elias is great.

[dingusmcgee]

How much longer should we expect to be able to place orders for '25 RS6s? I'd like to get an order in and trade my '22 in and don't want to run out of time to update within the C8 model. I'm reaching out to my local dealer today but would appreciate some insight from the knowledgeable folks here.

[Nickos1]

I would be nervous waiting until April, but you may have as late as May to order. But that would be cutting it close. Someone with exact dates may weigh in.

[rlarsen462]

Roger would you mind checking on COMM A58288 again for me? Supposedly built just curious if you can see if it's on the water yet, or what the status currently is.

Thanks!

[991Guy]

Just got confirmation on my AE build, going to be an RS6 in Albert Blue, so excited!

[dingusmcgee]

There is, but it is not fixed. Every MY it varies a bit by orders in queue, materials for that MY on hand or in-line, etc. Best guess for MY25 would be around mid-end August ...

Missed this when searching before I asked about cut off dates - retroactive thanks for the info! 🙂

[pski]

Hi - new here. Although it's anyone's guess at this point, just curious what the buzz is from Audi, dealers and customers about the looming tariffs on EU imports. I factory-ordered an RS7 in February, week 14 production (March 31), and projected delivery mid to late June. The CEO's of BMW and Mercedes have offered a glimmer of hope with their recent statements on reducing or eliminating the auto tariffs between Germany and the US. I've adopted a wait and see for now. I've considered shifting gears and looking for one on a dealer lot, but those would be compromise cars, and I love my build. True first-world problems. LOL.

Ugh I feel you. My RS6 AE order was placed in July 2023 (don't ask- basically dealer didn't have an allocation when AE was open, or so they say....), and it's supposedly finally being built now. Figures on timing.

[DOCEVG]

My '25 arrived last Friday and picked it up today. Night blue pearl effect paint, which is a lot subtler than my other blue Audi's (Mugello, Moonlight, Nogaro, Ara, Sepang and Sprint) which is a good thing as I age into mellower tastes. Color is very close to my Moonlight blue SQ5. Appearance of car is better than I ever could have hoped.
Ordered in May '24 so basically a 10-month wait, with literally no updates from dealer. Got a text from them out of the blue last week saying it arrived the day before. Got a tutorial from the "Audi Delivery Specialist" on the electronics, most of which went over my head so it will be a fun few days figuring everything out on my own. Will get ppf and ceramics coating in a few days. Need to find a decent set of 21" wheels as all season and snow choices for 22" are pretty limited.

It's done (...SN907750) but still at the Factory. Dealer (Audi Denver) Delivery ETA: 05/09/2025 - 05/23/2025

[turtle631]

25% tariff on all imported cars just announced. Just recently ordered an RS6, will be cancelling unless this goes away. Pretty disappointing, was excited about my spec.

I guess with mine built (per Roger's post just above yours) but not shipped to the US yet, not sure if mine's going to show up 25% more expensive by the time it gets to the dealer, if so, they can keep it lol, not paying upwards of $200K for an RS6.

[pski]

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but, if I'm not mistaken, the tariff attaches when it hits the inbound port. Not happy about the news either, but will wait for a little while to see how things play out.

[turtle631]

Audi is toast in the US if this stays.

Same here - I got my order in Saturday and had to call and cancel it this morning and will hang on to the '22 until this mess gets sorted. Hopefully the tariff goes away before the '25 MY does...

[slouchy]

Hey Roger,

My salesperson seems to have gone MIA. Could I ask you check on W35210? Last estimate they gave was June/July, but they didn't provide where in the pipeline it was.

[DanishDevil]

For what it's worth, my sales guy said that tariffs attach when the car is wholesaled from manufacturer to the dealer, which like pski said happens when the vehicle leaves the port. I have a full AE interior RS6 that's built and on a price hold due to arrive in May or June. Gonna be a tough decision if it suddenly costs north of $200k.

[rnlabas]

Hey Roger,

My salesperson seems to have gone MIA. Could I ask you check on W35210? Last estimate they gave was June/July, but they didn't provide where in the pipeline it was.

It's built (...SN908216), completed on the 22nd, but still at the Factory. Dealer (Audi San Jose) Delivery ETA is: 06/19/2025 - 07/03/2025, so that last estimate is still about true ...

[rnlabas]

For those asking about when tariffs could be applied: likely last at stateside invoicing, so when it's cleared by customs (having had its pricing completed), it's invoiced and Monroney issued. If that's done ahead of the tariff application, you're solid - even if it sits at port for a while - billed is billed...

Thanks! Wish my salesperson would just send these like every month or so.

Praying the tarrifs don't cause the dealer to reneg on the price.

Insist that he does, or insist that his manager does, or tell them you’ll simply buy it elsewhere. Updating a client is the bare minimum.

I'm in the Sacramento area as well. Would be up for a meetup sometime after July [cool]! Had an RSQ8 as well, but sold it recently.

May need to get a rain check on that one. Car is probably not making it to the US for a while given Audi is pausing all shipments.

Yeah... the end was almost in sight for my 2 1/2 year wait. SMH.

[tinmanwpk]

I truly feel for you guys. What a screw job.

[turtle631]

Major miss by VAG if Audi makes customers who ordered cars before this pay full tariff cost. Just going to alienate customers and end up with expensive possibly odd builds sitting on lots.

[JohnEnglish]

No car manufacturer is going to pay the tariffs out of their own pockets. If the car is delivered after they come into effect, yeah of course it sucks, but that's the way it works. It's not just Audi, this is happening to all imported vehicles.

Lol I literally probably ordered the most expensive build of an RS6 possible, if they try and slap some massive extra cost on it, good luck selling that one guys. Someone is going to eat it if they want to sell the car, and it's not going to be me.

I can understand not wanting to pay the tariffs that have been applied to the car but the car manufacturers aren't responsible for this.

Roger, any chance you can look up Q37676? It's gotta be getting close... I hope!

Not sure where I said they were responsible for this, but they still have a choice of how to deal with it, as a business. Charge me what I originally agreed to pay for the car, or don't, and try to sell it to someone else.

Mercedes is keeping all prices flat in 2025 so they're paying tariffs. BMW is honoring prices for cars ordered before the tariff announcements so they're paying tariffs. There are many different approaches being taken.

[pski]

For those of you gearing up for a new car delivery, you may be dreading the final grind meeting with the finance guy where, in rapid fire succession, they lay out a menu of service plans and warranties for you to purchase without any real time to consider their relative merits. To blunt the high pressure sales tactic, I'm building a list of the various items so I can consider everything well in advance. Without getting into the pros and cons because YMMV, here's what I have listed below. Curious what others have encountered during recent deliveries. I left off tint, PPF, ceramic because I'll go to a trusted third party for those.

Audi Care; Multi Coverage; Lease End; Vehicle Service; Guaranteed Asset; Term Protection; Tire & Wheel; Key; Theft

Sorry - was tied up for a few days: looks like you have this beauty already ... and without any tariff impacts - ENJOY !!

Is production still being held up despite the 90 day pause?

[slouchy]

Is production still being held up despite the 90 day pause?

The 90 day pause doesn't include cars as the car tariffs were implemented separately.


On some better news, looks like Audi is still shipping cars as my salesperson confirmed my car is on a boat en-route to the US.

On Rennlist, it sounds like Porsche is eating the tariffs for cars built before April (out of the factory by March 31st), so hopefully Audi does the same here.

[DanishDevil]

Just heard from my dealer that my car is due in to port Benicia on 5/1, and they have been receiving cars from port with no tariffs attached. He was however quick to note that the situation could change at any moment. Here's hoping my AE interior RS6 makes it through unscathed from damage, physical and financial!

Ah, the news made it sound like Audi had stopped shipping cars to the US and any in flight cars were held at port.

[DanishDevil]

If this Carscoops article is accurate, there could be very good news for anyone with an Audi on its way to the port now.

https://www.carscoops.com/2025/04/redesigned-audi-q5-gets-costly-nearly-7k-more-but-dont-blame-tariffs/

A company spokesperson stated: “We have not passed on the additional costs from tariffs to our customers and will hold pricing through at least the end of May.”

This quote was specifically with respect to the new Q5, but I would be surprised if it didn't apply to all cars from Audi.

[Rossi15]

Does anyone have any leads on a new loaded RS6 that has Congac interior?

The only exterior color I don't want is white or silver.

I've been looking, but I swear I can't not find a loaded one that has the Congac interior only the black with teh red or blue sticching.

My dealer has one that's Nardo grey fully loaded, but black interior. I just want Congac, lol.
