So I currently have the car I want for the next few years and thanks to leasehackr I was able to get a great deal on it back in 21’. 330i M-Sport and my buyout is around $28k.
Currently I am on a fixed income and have some money set aside for this available about 2 months after my current 2 month lease extension. I already tried to get additional time with BMWFS, however they were unable to help me. They said, I need to place an order and deposit to extend it out further.
So the point of my post is to discover if I should put a deposit down on an order near the end of this current extension and back out of the order later on? I live in a high volume area and I am sure if I placed an order for a similar car it would probably sell before even reaching the lot. Not too sure on if deposits are refundable either but I haven’t presented this to any dealer.
It would be unethical for me, an employee of Empire Volvo, to broker vehicles from other brands.
I just have to watch a customer get a qx60 (for $150+ more than brokers on here charge) instead of an xc90 knowing that retail broker pockets a $43xx birddog.
I know, it’s an ethical question. I am still going to think on it. Will find a very sellable spec. Not something that won’t move off the lot instantly. Most cars get sold before they reach the lot around here for nice specs. Wish BMWFS would just let me go an extra month since I’m paying in cash.
