Advice on new order (Canada)

45rpm · 06-12-2012, 08:55 AM

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum. I'm about to lease a 2012 328i but my dealer says there's a chance that the car produced will be MY2013, in which case the lease rates may change according to the sales consultant. It's currently June 12, do you think that if the order is put in today, that there's a chance that my car will be in production before July 1 (probably will get lower lease rates with MY2012 than MY2013)? Thanks!

check the dealer's pipeline of 2012 models in the production system. maybe you can find a reasonable compromise among the included options. that way, you still get the incentive.

IMO, it's unlikely that the 4.9% lease rate will change for 2013 models

good luck.

Thanks.

We'll see what happens. There's nothing in the pipeline that fits, unfortunately. If we end up ordering a MY2013, I might as well order the xDrive.

The only issue with MY2013 is the residuals. This can wither make your monthly payments lower or higher; we're still not sure.

I'd suggest shopping around the major 7 dealers we have and see if someone has a similar vehicle to what you're looking for...

The dealers are:

BMW of Mississauga
Town+Country BMW
Parkview BMW
BMW London
BMW Toronto
Budds BMW
BMW Autohaus

Note: I put them in a specific order; so you might wanna start from the top and work your way down.

Good Luck!!!
