2018 330e Lease

[genesis]

I’m trying to get about 20-22% off on a 2018 330e loaner before incentives, but it seems to be impossible in Northern California. I reached out to a number of different dealerships, and they seem to think that this is a ridiculous ask and aren’t close to playing ball. Am I off my rocker? All the offers I’m getting are $500+/mo after a minimum-type drive off. They’re taking 5-6% off MSRP, which is ridiculous when the mileage adjustment for the 4k miles on most loaners is close to 2%.

I’m not particularly in love with BMW or the model and I don’t need to lease now, but this seems to have the potential for a good lease. Any suggestions?

It may be due to diminishing inventory on old 2018s, as BMW_Dave mentioned here:

BMW New Car Programs (and Retired Loaners with < 5k miles) - UPDATED 5/8/2019

The grid I posted above with March programs is only good through April 1 but sales support for ALL 2018 models will cease at the end of April. Inventory is already seriously diminished so if you’re looking for a 2018 deal I wouldn’t wait in hopes of anything better than what dealers are already offering. Especially if you’ve found a car that has the features/colors you want. This will be very rare this late in the game. Remember that the leasehackr community is a very small percentage of the m…

That said, 5-6% off MSRP is ridiculous. That’s what I’d expect on the brand new 2019 330i, if not more.

And that’s true. There’s pretty limited inventory of the 330e loaners.

Why aren’t you trying socal? Ship it or fly down and drive it back.

Exactly - your problem is that you’re looking at NorCal instead of LA etc.

It’s possible, I got 20% off mine this month. Look nationwide to increases your chances, not just in CA.

How much discount should we ask on a 2018 new 330e with MSRP 54k?
