Here is the most (likely useless) insight I can offer:
The T6 -> T8 is about $8000 more MSRP. The Incentives are about $6000 more (so you’re carrying $2k more cap cost).
The T6 had a 2% higher residual, about $1000 or 25$ month benefit on a 36 month lease.
The T8’s MF converts to about 4% and the T6 1.1%
If you like the T8 shop the T8. If you want the deal, unless someone is trying to eject a T8 old enough that it should be a waitlisting for kindergarten, the T6 should pencil out more favorably.
If your dealer has both a comparable T6 and T8 RDesign you’d take, let them know you want the best deal between stock # A and B and see what they say.
Who’s the dealer? You can PM me.
Edit: Never mind, I know. Maybe try the other one also (they have 2), this one was playing games with me but there is new SM, so who knows.
I’d love to see what a 100K 3er (That’s not an M3) looks like. Have seen some M340xi’s that were approaching 80K with port added wheels but nothing that crazy yet…
A plan locks you in at ~6% discount. You can’t negotiate a deeper discount and stack the a plan bonus. Don’t use a plan and certainly don’t tell them you have a plan because you’ll be dead in the water with it.
Damn. I had a deposit on the car expecting $512 and $0 DAS, is what they said verbally. I’ll hold firm and ask for an actual draft lease agreement before moving forward (or taking you up on Falls Church or Annapolis)
0 and $512 on their “deal sheet” means 0 down, not 0 DAS. And you get only 9% discount with destination added back in, like I said. They must return deposit by law.
But they don’t have to make it convenient or easy to return the deposit. Plenty of dealerships I’ve given deposits to never returned them. Eventually, after months of waiting, I just filed a dispute with the credit card company and got the money back. I let the bank deal with the dealer.
I absolutely refuse to give deposits anymore. I don’t care if I lose the best deal and don’t get what i want. Dealers lie all the time, just like buyers do.
