It is always in your interest to determine the incrntives you qualify for before you reach out to a dealer.
If they come back and say “no incentives”, what theyre reqlly saying is “we arent giving you 19%, we are adding the incentives in to the discount to mislead you as to rhe discount we are offering”. By being ignorant to what the programs actually are, you have no way of knowing if the numbers they give you are legit or not.
As is always the case, you should put together a target deal before reaching out to a dealer. You can not effectively negotiate without knowing where you’re actually trying to get to and a dealer giving your more details in a quote does you no good in figuring out what that should be.
For reference here were a couple EQE deals I helped secure for myself and friends
23 EQE350 SUV loaner Dec 2023 79k 36/12
$625/625 $2.5k MSD effective payment $511 after rebate
23 EQE500 sedan loaner Jan 2024 94k $675/675 36/10 $7,000 MSD effective payment $645 after rebate
23 EQE350 SUV loaner Mar 2024 89k 36/12 $600/600, $570 after rebate
24 EQE350 sedan loaner July 2024 84k 36/10 $585/585, rebate pending (deal only possible with loyalty)
Most of these deals presuming you’re also negotiating on a loaner, i would target at minimum 20% off before incentives are applied. If you live in SoCal and are serviced by Edison, I highly recommend applying for the used EV rebate as well
