This was three years ago. I was getting info on an Audi S4 (which I ended up not getting). The internet sales department gave me a monthly price, which was absurd. I asked for an itemized deal sheet, and this was the response. (Read up from the bottom)
As background, guy quoted me $530/mo on a $43.6k LT1. Not the absolute worst first offer Iāve gotten on these cars, but the part where he says heās āaffraid that other dealers are quoting [me] 1LTāsā is just sad.
Only 50% more than an M440i
Gotta pay to play.
āWould you hook me up with your guy?ā
āSure, thatāll be 599 dealer customer feeā
Maybe I will get a referral fee.
@asfarr86 heres the real play
text him back: āIf I can get you one at 6% off MSRP on a custom order are you good to go?ā
Lol, but warn him, for he will be entering a scary dungeon of lease hacking for the 1st time, and he might be scared initially for what he sees
Amazing how fast they dropped that $5k market adjustment thoā¦
Beautiful thing the market that isā¦ Instantly adjusted itself at first sight of other options
Wait, what? Did I misread something? Where did the BMW come from?
Verifying the lease conquest incentive
Gonna keep that next time I get hit that with that line.
Apparently a dealer rep I reached out but never got an agreement on pricing with in the past (MB) believed I am longer worthy of their automatic emails, so they decided to automagically make sure I also get their Infiniti store new car specialsā¦
Me: Asking for 14% off a leftover X3M
Dealer:Think about it like a Black Friday Saleā¦
Nobody goes into Best Buy on Black Friday and offers $550 for the $1,200 TV that they are selling for $799. Itās already massively discounted. And yet Iām offering to discount my āTVā even further and match what Target is doing if you can show me you have a lower offer from them.
Me: I went to Target and hereās proof
Dealer: I canāt match that
Me: but you pwomisedā¦
Further to my M3 āinquiryā got this gem today:
Yup, we know how you should use your tax refundāitās basically not even money out of your pocket!
Iām surprised this is referencing tax returns and not stimulus checks
Stimulus checks are given on any new car deal, they go towards DAS
Well, maybe it is also given that M3 shoppers donāt qualify for stimulus checks lol
I sure donāt.
The āI know what I haveā approach.
