A semi-local dealer has a remaining 2017 Autobahn and offered a $7,500 discount. This late in the game for a 2017 still on the lot, should I expect a better deal?

How many miles on the vehicle.
Five, according to cars.com.
I'm wondering if similar discounting will be available towards the end of the year on 2018s, black paint is the one color I'd really rather not have.
A few weeks ago, I tried to buy a 2017 SE at the dealership that services my car. I told them if they do the full $7,300 off MSRP and also swing the 0% for 72, I'll buy it right now. They said no - only discounts with standard rates. Guess they weren't that motivated.
Oh well, I didn't like the color anyways.
EDIT: Car is still there. I'm going to take a another shot.

The bulk of that $7300 discount is the $4500 dealer cash incentive that VW gives the dealer for selling the car at std VCI rates or 3rd party financing, and cannot be combined with VCI 0% special financing. That's why they said no, it has nothing to do with motivation. If you want the maximum cash discount, your best bet is to arrange your own financing, and shop around for the best rates. It's usually going to be through your local credit union, but I've seen some lenders offering competitive rates on lendingtree.com as well.
Only one way to find out. I also have a $500 offer code from attending a VW event that's good for any new MY15-18 and expires 7/31. If they take my offer, awesome. If they don't, I'll wait for 0% 60/72 on a 2018.
Floor plan stops and they being losing money on that car starting on starting Friday.
I can almost guarantee you that you will not get both 0% and the $7300 cash discount, because I've seen the documents from VW.
Dealer emailed me today and said they will honor $7,300 off MSRP and 0% for 72mos until EOD 5/31. I also have a VW event code for another $500 off.
After 6/1, this car becomes more difficult to sell due to less dealer cash and no special financing in order to move it. I've also serviced my 2010 GTI there since new, so they'll make up some money on my service business.
I'll let you know if they keep their word.
Only things making me hesitate is the color and 2018's will be moving out soon.
