[BUYOUT] Extending my lease further, custom order and cancel?

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.

Thank you everyone!

It’s an ethical question.

I’d be upfront with my intentions and ask them to help me configure something they’re sure to sell.

Maybe they’d do it for future goodwill.

A soon-to-be out of warranty BMW seems a questionable choice in this situation

I’m pretty sure California law mandates that deposits be refundable.

That is so ethical you should work at a “buy here pay here” used car lot (or maybe run for office)

If you are going to do that, tell the dealer what you are doing so THEY can spec out a car they actually want not some gold on red disaster…

Incoming dodge hornet customer!

You broker those now, right?

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.

Like you know anything about my finances bud… I’m retired. I have things set up accordingly.

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.

Instead of wasting the dealer’s time why not just get a loan to buy it out now and then pay it off when you have the cash?
