I saw in February that dealers were offering 9% off pre-incentive on the iX. I’m wondering if there will be a similar run on these as to the EQS in the near future? Any of you smart people have an educated guess or maybe some trending data to suggest that?
Likely to see more discounts on the iX/ i7. Eventually. Maybe today. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe next year. You can be the pioneer and shoot some emails and be the unicorn finder
If we aren’t already there, I think we’re on the cusp of EV supply in general exceeding short-term demand.
Long-term, all of these manufacturers want market share, and at least some are going to have to hemorrhage money on them for a while in order to get there.
MB clearly doesn’t have a compelling product yet, and the iX and i4 are among the ugliest vehicles introduced recently.
Started a few weeks back - no bites so far. Will update if/when they do come.
Not sure what dealers are doing 9% before incentive but I know we’re doing 6% front end + incentive on orders and have thrown out several heavily discounted feature cars.
Actually about to throw out another.
I don’t think even 9% plus incentives is gonna get you to 500-700 dollar range
That’s i4 35e money, bro.
The iX doesn’t need that kind of shove yet. Now, if Tesla starts slinging $499-599 leases on MY’s and $899 leases on MX that could result in some pressure.
That will destroy the EV market as I see it…
Are i4s going under 700 right now ?
Yes, they lease better than 3 series right now (unless doing loyalty lease)
Interesting which dealers / region are at 9%?
I’ve got 2-3 iX units about to hit the ground in that general discount range.
There will be no dealer trades or builds at that pricing, at least not until there’s a serious glut of them like the EQS situation and given that we just flipped to 2024’s that window is fast closing.
What does that put them at? ~1,000 with TTF at signing?
