Long story short- custom ordered a BMW back in December using December incentives. Signed and dated offer sheet. Car is a performance center delivery and has already reached the performance center ready to be picked up. I have already made travel arrangements and everything.
February incentives on ordered vehicle are better. If I’m correct, i am able to choose between day of order and day of signing on which incentives i want to apply. Dealer does not want to apply February incentives and now unhappy about the entire deal and wants to back out altogether. Am i basically screwed and shit out of luck ?
Is there more to the story than you shared? I don’t see why a dealer would want to back out altogether over increased incentives. It’s a fairly well known and standard practice with a custom order. Incentive money doesn’t come out of dealer pocket so I’m not sure why they would blow a sale unless something else happened.
Yea, it does not make sense that the dealer would want to back out, especially since the car has already been delivered from Europe to the Performance Delivery Center.
Nothing else. I asked for my December program to be substituted for the February program. They claim they are losing too much money on the deal now. I have a suspicion they were going to use the extra February lease cash to make up some of the initial discount? The general manager is supposed to call me back later today with some kind of resolution or “new offer”
Something seems off. They couldn’t have known in December that the lease cash would go up in the future. You might want to ask the GM what exactly is going on. Like I said, incentives don’t come out of dealer pocket so if the discount % remains identical, and if they’re losing money, the $ amount of money lost is exactly the same as it was in December when you submitted the order.
