    current RS3 Pricing?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Quick search shows 170 of these sitting on dealers lots. Mix between 2020 and 2019s. What can one expect to pay for either of them in today's current economic situation?

    My local dealer discounted a new 2019 in the spec I want by $7K. I asked for the mileage and it's a demo- 4500 miles This is the same dealer that said $0 off MSRP back when I was looking in 2018.

    I thought I saw someone mention some dealers are up to $10K off on 2019s?

    I'd like to jump on one now between years and a ton of them sitting on lots.

    I'd buy a used 2018 at a deep discount rather than a 19 or 20. 18's have had better success with mods and exhaust sounding better overall. My 18' has been a gem, plus you may get lucky and find one with a build date where the mmi goes into the dash.

    +1 on this, though inventory for 2018 is probably super low. Certainly not worth pushing for a 2020 either. If a dealer is motivated to move a 2019 that you want, go for it and ask for extras (Audi Care, Wheel & Tire coverage, PPF, tints, ceramic, rubber mats!).

    I had three dealers back in January at 55k for brand new 2019's. That was before,TTL. I'm now about to go buy a low mile 2018 for 46k...Ara blue. You just have to shop around and don't be afraid to ask "within reason". Two of the three dealers I pinged on the 2019's bit almost immediately at 55k...the other one took some poking. All three cars stickered within a few hundred dollars of one another at around 64k plus.

    Its great to see a similar topic posted every 3 days. Your discount will vary greatly by your location. Some folks claim they get brand new for $40k out the door. Others claim a 2019 can be had for $55k. Some no discount. Some 10k off. Really its best to just see what your dealer will do. People were really hoping for pandemic get a car 50% pricing but that thankfully is not the case.

    Put it this way I got 7% off my 18' new when the market was great and RS3s were limited. Shoot for 13%+

    A lot of this depends on location too, unless of course you’re willing to travel to where you can get the best deals.

    Thanks for the replies. I searched a couple months of posts and didn't see any threads about rs3 pricing.

    I would prefer to buy new if the discounts are deep enough. I am always leery of buying a used vehicle which specialty engines.

    ^^^This. No way saving 5-7K on a used RS3 is worth the peace-of-mind of buying new, IMO.

    Seems like folks can get at least 5K off MSRP without even trying. I plan on doing that at minimum, but have always wanted the adventure of flying out/driving back so I'm kinda looking forward to traveling for an even better deal. Online even, 5-10K discounts are being advertised, that's the route I'd go...

    I've done the fly and drive, drive and trade, and drive and trailer route in the past.

    Back in December when the incentives where really good i bought a new 2019 for $45k ended up with roughly a ~20% discount/$10K off msrp, the car was a base with black optics.

    If i where you i would nicely ask for $10k off msrp and go from there.
    Stage 1 more than you RS3

    Did you have a trade or was that outright? That seems like an amazing price. Even for a base model that is a lot of car for $45K.

    I traded in an S3, gave me KBB "good" condition price for it. But the $45k price was agreed upon before i even brought up a trade since at the time i was thinking of keeping the S3. And yes, very happy with that price, got it from Paul Miller Audi in Jersey. Still had to pay the $500 "document" fee but all good.

    That was when there were crazy incentives. Those don't exist now, but you should still be able to get a good deal, not sure if you can get that good of deal though.

    You are from BG (IL)?

    Got approximately $13,500 off on my RS3 back in end of December as well from Audi Nyack. They were extremely easy to deal with. Had a deal with Eatontown Audi but they were super uncooperative when I mentioned I had a trade in. Traded in my Golf R as well, which i got "Good Value" for as well.

    Location
    Indiana

    On May 1, 2020, I bought a new 2019 RS3, Nardo Gray, with all options except black optics. Sticker was $65,005. I paid $55,300, including a set of Sottozero snow tires and winter rims. No trade in. The car was a lot orphan, that had been at the dealer since early July of ‘19. I started working on the deal at the end of January, 2020. Dealer was not budging much, through February and into March. That was OK. I didn’t really need a new car, and I was not in a hurry.
    Then, two things happened almost simultaneously: the pandemic hit Indiana, causing car sales to tank (like everywhere else), and the 2020 Audis began rolling on to the lot. All of a sudden it was a buyer’s market. But my deal wasn't as good as fast16's! My deal actually was closed on April 7, although I didn’t pick the new car up until May 1.

    One thing worth keeping in mind, if you’re shopping for an RS3. These are enthusiasts’ cars. Most potential Audi buyers are not that "enthusiastic" and are not going to pay RS3 prices for what they see as just an over-optioned A3. If those folks are planning on spending RS3 money, I think they're more likely to would use it for a 4 or 5 series car, because they see the larger vehicles as a better value. So if there are 2019 RS3s on sales lots, particularly heavily optioned cars, they will probably set there until an RS3-specific shopper comes along. That may make a dealer more amenable to discounting.

    Wow. That's a crazy good deal. winter wheels and tires are like ~2800 new and you got nearly $10k off. I only got ~$5k off a 2020 in March prior to the pandemic.

    Drove home my 2020 new "Nardo Edition" RS3 just yesterday.

    Sticker 60,895 which, as far as I can tell, is about 2.2K less than the same car/options priced out separately (i.e. NON-Nardo Edition). Only real difference is it has the fixed suspension. On the drive home (I traded in a '17 S3) there was very little difference that I could feel from the standard adjustable suspension.

    I added Audi Care ($999) so total sticker was 61,894. Paid $56K. Got a good price for the S3 (26K), effectively a credit of about $28K given the sales tax saved. My S3 seems to have asking prices in the $31K range so I guess I might have gotten $29K or $30K selling it privately.

    Another dealer, at the last minute, would've gone for the same deal but I closed with the original guy.

    FWIW, the BEST deals I'd found on Autotrader over the last month were, an '18 with 28K miles for $48K, a '19 with 19K miles (high for a yea old car) for $50K, and a '20 with about 1,300 miles that was just sold where the seller asked $57.7K .

    Given those numbers, to ME, mine was a no-brainer value-wise.

    Good luck.

    I just purchased a Mythos black 2019, almost loaded with the exception of the Dynamic Plus package.

    Sticker was $66,900, I paid $54,200. I had to purchase it 1,500 miles from where I live and paid 589 to have it shipped.

    Seemed like a very fair deal. There was a dealer that had almost the exact same car (didn't have winter floor mats or the accessory cables) and they wanted almost $5K more. They basically told me they didn't believe I was getting it for the price I told them and if I was being truthful I should buy it.

    It's supposed to be here on Wednesday, I can't wait!

    Yeah that is a crazy good deal. I shopped around for 2 weeks in my area for a new one. Played the "well X dealer has the same car and is offering this price" game but it only would have shaved about $500 off, which wasn't going to be worth the hassle.

    I thought more of the dealerships would be desperate to dump cars off the lot, but for Audi (or at least specifically the new RS3 market) it does not appear to be the case in north CA. Things could change if the economy continues to be squeezed by inactivity. But things could also reverse and the market could heat up even more. So I just went ahead and pulled the trigger for a bit under the invoice price. Felt satisfied, but I admit that if I was 6 months more patient I might've found a better deal. We'll see.

    I feel that CA has the highest concentration of RS 3s for sale when I look up listing across Cars , Car Gurus, Auto-list, etc, than around the USA. Maybe only next to Texas. Maybe that has to do wit it. In New England, I went to go look at a 2020 fully loaded recently and priced it on Edmunds, KBB, NADA for a base-point. KBB the equivalent New 2019 for 10% off ( I know the sound system now comes standard in the 2020s and that reduces the total cost by $1,200 for included the technology package). So I went in with a starting ask of $58.7K for the 2020. Salesman gave me a sheet breakdown an wanted MSRP, which surprised me as EVERY new Audi on their website had a slash through their MSRP pricing (Even their 2 new R8s). I countered with what I drafted up on KBB and the salesman in turn was surprised. Asked me where I got the quote and told him I configured it online and it stated it was what I thought a fair deal would be. At first he said he couldn't sell it for that, stating that I was asking him to mark down the car ~10%. I told him I researched it and wasn't looking for a Corona Virus discount, just offered what I saw what people were paying across my state. Told him I respectfully understand if he can't sell it to me for that price. It is what is. Said "I'm willing to meet in the middle and do $61K". Salesman again said along the lines of he can't do that. Said, "I understand". Salesman was a good dude. They had my contact information from when I first made the inquiry, so I didn't bother saying anything after that.

    What was really surprising to me, as I was packing up my stuff to go and get up from my chair from in front of his desk, he asked me "If I sell it to you for $58.7K, will you buy it today?". In my head I'm like, "Thought you just said a minute ago you can't sell it for less than MSRP, haha". He said he would go talk to his manager. Manager came through to talk to me while Salesman waited in the hallway. Manager said "he can't sell it below MSRP. It's a rare car. Not many around. He doesn't get incentives/rebated from Audi. He still has a year to sell the car due to it being a 2020". Told him I understood that. Thanked him for their time and left. Was an interesting experience. Wasn't frustrated at all by the experience and luckily for me, I'm more than willing to travel to a dealer that is willing to do an X% off MSRP deal and drive it back to my house. I've seen a couple good deals on 2019 & 2020 models with prices off MSRP around the states. Once I complete my move in a month, I'll start reaching out.

    If you're good with a 2020 "Nardo Edition", I can give you the name of the dealer (South Florida) that offered it at $55K plus tax and tags 3 days ago. (MSRP 60,895).

    Caveat - I offered my S3 trade-in at a good price to him so I don't know if he'd do the deal without a trade-in.

    Caveat #2 - the current $1,000 Audi rebate expires today.

    Hey, thanks for the heads up man! Though color scheme I'm looking for exterior wise is either White , Ara Blue or Daytona Gray. With the B/O, Drivers Assistance, Dynamic and Technology Packages with Rock Gray stitching (I'm not a big fan of red interiors for myself haha.).

    Unfortunately, I am the only thing really holding myself back due to my desired configuration being scarce it seems. I find myself in one of those Beggars can't be choosers situations. But at least I know the situation I'm in is caused by me and I'm not ridiculously complaining about why the world is unfair to me . The other thing I have going for me is that I'm moving to New Hampshire within a month. So I have more of an incentive to wait as the day I become a resident, I don't have to pay MA sales tax (at least ~$3K) + excise tax for the ~3 weeks I'll be living here in Massachusetts I move to NH. No sales tax in NH and NH's cost to register is ~$700 for the RS 3.

    Guys don't let emotion come into play, ask for minimum 7% off msrp or walk. You can get a RS5 now loaded for 70k which is close to RS3 msrp. I bought my RS3 for 7% off in Oct 2018 when the economy was great. The whole country in the toilet, you can get the discount.

    Also mind you I have a fully loaded RS3 minus carbon brakes.

    Unfortunately, I am the only thing really holding myself back due to my desired configuration being scarce it seems. I find myself in one of those Beggars can't be choosers situations. But at least I know the situation I'm in is caused by me and I'm not ridiculously complaining about why the world is unfair to me . The other thing I have going for me is that I'm moving to New Hampshire within a month. So I have more of an incentive to wait as the day I become a resident, I don't have to pay MA sales tax (at least ~$3K) + excise tax for the ~3 weeks I'll be living here in Massachusetts I move to NH. No sales tax in NH and NH's cost to register is ~$700 for the RS 3.
    I just moved from Maine to NH and waited to purchase as well. Just FYI it is a huge hassle getting your NH license due to the pandemic. Depending on where you purchase your RS3 from you may need a NH license to complete the transaction. I had to and it took about 2 weeks to make it happen.

    Yea, I have seen RS5 discounts for months now from last year, long before the Corona Virus hit the market. When my salesman's Manager hit me with the rare talk for the RS 3, I just chuckled internally. Like yes, I know it's rare compared to say a Toyota Camry, but the RS 3 is still a Mass Produced vehicle, made since 2018 for USA. It's not a 918 GT4 being bought to flip for profit. I came in with a number based on what I were seeing people on the forums have bought the car for and what KBB, NADA, etc. Have priced them for what they considered a fair deal which was ~10% off . It's one thing when they didn't go to my first offer initially, but when they wouldn't budge off MSRP at all to even ~61K, I figured what was going on. Is what it is. Nothing happens before it's meant to haha.

    Hey man, nice! What area have you settled in? I'll be around the Merrimack area. As for the drivers license, I was curious to know how the DMVs are up there to be able to obtain my new Licence. Haven't been to any in MA since things have started. As far proving you're a NH resident so one doesn't have to pay their previous states sales tax when they go to buy the car. I figure if one isn't able to have their NH licence on tap BUT is able to prove their residence (signed leasing agreement, Utility bill, etc). That should work in it's stead, no? Hoping so if I end up in this case haha.

    Seemed like a very fair deal. There was a dealer that had almost the exact same car (didn't have winter floor mats or the accessory cables) and they wanted almost $5K more. They basically told me they didn't believe I was getting it for the price I told them and if I was being truthful I should buy it.

    It's supposed to be here on Wednesday, I can't wait!
    What shipping service did you use that only cost you $589 for 1500 miles?

    The dealer hooked me up with a great service. It ended up being 600...but still a deal.


    http://stopwatchusa.com/. It is a small company run by a father and son. Contact them and ask for Mitch. They specialize in higher end cars, shipping for both dealers and individuals. To be clear they don't have their own trucks. They have a group of drivers they use regularly.

    Great pricing and customer service. Mitch texted me when it was picked up before the dealer called to say it left. I chose an open trailer...enclosed would have been 200 bucks more.

    Good luck!

    So I think it will depend on where you buy it. I purchased from a dealer in Illinois who uses a national title service company. They required a NH driver license. No way to get around it..I had already registered other cars in Hampton where we moved and tried to use that as proof of residence but no dice.

    I had to get my NH license. If you buy from a MA or NH dealer it may be different and they may take a different form of proof of residence.

    The major hassle was that the NH DMV is only providing licenses with an appointment. I had to call the DMV....wait on hold for 30+ minutes...when they finally answered they took my info and said someone would call back within 2 days to book my appointment. When they called the next day the earliest appointment slot available was 9 days out and I had to drive to Concord for that. The closer location in Dover was 3 weeks out.

    Maybe by the time you move to Merrimack it will be easier.

    Just FYI to get your license you need your old license, a passport or other acceptable of photo ID... A car registration or utility bill in your name and your NH address and either your social security card or a 1099 or W2 with your full social security viable.

    Good luck!

    Purchased new 2019 at ~20% off sticker back in December. I believe Audi was doing some kind of rebate at the time.

    I'll be scouting and buying as soon as I can get whatever legal document ( probably a driver's license as previously mentioned) a dealer needs for me to prove that I'm a resident of New Hampshire. When I finish my move. I'll report back then. Hopefully no more than next couple of weeks. MA is isn't getting any more sales tax on my cars haha.

    Got damn. Lmao. It's EVERYTHING I want only missing the Drivers Pack haha. Going to be a great pick-up for someone! It's interesting. Because a dealer in my area with two 2019s just like this one with the the driver pack included and same build date, are still charging full retail. Mentioning that it's a "rare car". I know everything in life is a supply and demand issue, but this dealer isn't exactly killing it with sales at the moment every single time I checked their inventory.
