Not Able to Get A Quote
So I emailed my current dealer asking for a quote on the build i did on bmwusa.com and he tells me the following
Quote:
He is saying I have to pick a car from the lot otherwise wait until the car I want shows up at the lot. I originally emailed him asking for 2015 428i but now I am leaning towards 2016 340i due to November specials and the residuals are really nice compared to 4 series. I just wanted the quote so I can compare 2015 vs 2016 but I am guessing that's not possible. |

Is it a small dealer who has limited allotment or something? Or is he just so full of it? Where are you? Everybody I tried in the SF Bay Area, for example, was willing to order and I got mine for invoice, before any additional BMW USA discounts that will apply when I pick it up (I ordered my 340ix in mid September). There are people from LA who have ordered as well. Try a different dealer.

You need to find a new dealer.
I have spoken to at least 10 different BMW dealerships and none have ever tried to tell me that I needed to buy a car off the lot. Also, any dealer that gave me this line: Quote:

When I receive a response like that I make a mental note to never buy a car from them ever. Move on to a different dealer, try David at Steve Thomas BMW or others which I'm sure will be posted shortly

I did contact Steve Thomas BMW but never got a reply. I know they are super busy with tons of inquiries. I'll ping them again.

I was actually starting to doubt myself and wondering if I am asking too much. Going to email other dealers and see what happens.

You need to find a better salesperson/dealer. I hate the way some dealerships negotiate. Just give me your best price up front. Neither you nor I have time to go back and forth and play this game.
My current salesperson out east gives me his best price up front. I trust him. It's thousands off an ordered car. He tells me he'll give me whatever incentives I'm eligible for. He's genuinely happy to give me a deal because he only has to spend 5 minutes with me to sell a car. He has a customer for life and I send everyone in the market for a BMW to him. |
