I'm planning to buy(finance) a brand new 2018 q5 premium plus. One dealership around me a msrp of $49,550 on a premium+ with 19 inch wheels, no heated steering wheel and also no ventilated seats. I plan to trade in a vehicle that has a trade in value of 10k$. I also plan to put down an additional 10K$ as a down deposit. How much % should I aim to get taken off the msrp? I live in a state that has a 6% sales tax. If anyone can give me a OTD price on this that would be a great. I want to know what is a good price to pay. I'm thinking 47,500$ OTD. what do you all think?? what is the range of percentage people are able to get off msrp? os 6-10% usually the norm? Thanks all

 

Go for 12%. I got that on a 2017 Q3. If you have to go down to 10%.
If you can contact several dealers.
The magic words.
I Am Ready To Buy
Good luck.

 

STOP........ you need to FIRST negotiate the new car price and DO NOT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT A TRADE IN, or even that you plan on trading in. Then once you have your negotiated price and ONLY THEN should you discuss anything about a trade in. Otherwise you'll be playing too many sides at the same time. Think of the whole experience as 2 separate transactions...a "buy" and a "sell"....don't combine them ever!
