Wholesale car club Facebook page. It was started by the guy that owns givemethevin.com. There’s independent dealers there that will match and beat Carvana vroom etc.
These guys are buying 150k super cars to flip and make $1000 off of. It’s nuts, major bubble but while it lasts it’s a good resource if you want to go around the big companies.
Being a foreign national with no US credit, your major hurdle is going to be determining who you can even get approved by, much less who will give you a good deal.
BMW and Ford do an executive program for foreign nationals. However, I initially used International Autosource who managed to get me a lease without any credit history. Had to negotiate a price (after comparing deals online) but it was a seamless process
I know Toyota never asks for your residential status. Most of foreign students get Toyota easily. Just have your pay stub with you. Your mileage might be different though. I myself bought a used Toyota out right. Sold it with the same price after 2 years and leased a new car.
So I was trying to test drive the GLC coupe and this dealer only have one in the lot (just arrived and cannot test drive before inspection and software update) and 2 in the network. We chat a bit and he says he would expect to sell not only this one but almost half of their vehicles at MSRP as the very limited inventory. Is it true for MB or just BS? what is your thoughts?
It is in Nashville. The volume of dealerships have not kept up with growth. G wagons are going for 75k Over MSRP. Used a broker (lease companion) and saved 50 percent (no exaggeration).
People should stop buying cars unless it’s an urgent need. The dealers get used to selling cars at msrp or even higher now and it may take longer to normalize even the supply issues are resolved.
I’m in the same boat. I actually need to pick up 2 cars (1 for me and 1 for our nanny)… It doens’t look like the shortage is going to end any time soon so i may just have to bite the bullet and pay the premium…ugg
