I'm looking at purchasing(ordering) a new bmw in the next week or so. I've researched lots on the forums and checked out carcostcanada.com
One question I have is around any factory incentives that expire. Especially cash.
Lets say there is a $1000 factory to dealer cash incentive that I would be eligable for. Lets pretend the cash incentive expires Feb 1, 2013.
I order the car on Jan 25th, 2013. Put down the deposit, and wait the 10 weeks for the car to arrive. Do I still qualify for the incentive? Because I won't be taking delivery until April. Yet, the January $1000 cash incentive usually has small print that says "must take delivery by Feb 1, 2013".
Do the incentives only count towards cars on the lot?
Or could I qualify for the incentive in April, (whatever it may be at that time) when I actually take delivery?
If I can only qualify for incentives at the time of delivery, how do you factor that in once you visit the dealer to pick up your car?
Because your negotiated price was finalized back in January.

Thanks for any info, advise you can provide!
