I’m working with a dealer close to me, they let me know they will give me Texas tax waiver on the model they have coming in 2 weeks or if I did want to do custom build. I have been advised by another user here to ask for % (what % do yall think i should ask for) off they are willing to offer on the model before going to the dealer to do the custom build and put down a deposit.
what else do yall recommend I ask for? I’m guessing the money factor might be one.
Check out the edmunds forum to get the MF/RV for the trim you’re looking at.
Take a look at the marketplace section here to see what brokers and dealers are offering for the same model as far as dealer discount, and what incentives are available.
You can then take these numbers to the dealer to see if they’re willing to deal. Don’t forget to plug the numbers into the LH calc, and come up with your expected payment to compare with dealer offer.
I hate paying taxes and love when I get the holy grail:
Big discount, rebates, and targeted incentives
Great money factor and residuals
Next to nothing in state taxes
But to a dealer it’s all just money. Tons of Texas dealers are happy to say, “Yea, we can get you tax credits.” And they will find those credits, but they’ll also discount the car less or charge you more in fees. And they really have no incentive to give you the “holy grail” on a new car they don’t have in stock.
Long story short, going out of state with someone like @derekoh1991 might not be a bad play even if he can’t do tax credits. FWIW I’m having 0 luck on getting Texas dealers to play ball on the EQE sedan, even when it’s been sitting on their lot for 5 months and missing microchips.
true, that’s why I look at the total cost of ownership. I don’t want to keep the car long term so leasing is a good option for me.
I’m not looking for EQ deals that are just out of this world, actually, I was but don’t have a charging station to make use of it, and the closest public charging station is 1.5 hours away.
this is the raw deal with no tax credit added to it yet.
The vehicle has everything I want in options except the interior isn’t what I want but if I do a custom order it will be here in November/December but will run the same number.
48 months RV is way too low so I don’t think it’s worth it but I still put it to hear yalls view.
when you say you’ve never seen a GLE lease that was never worth it do you say this statement comparing those leases to GLE model itself or to other car models that I am not interested in at all?
This is what would cost to do the interior I want, as it will be the same cost when I custom order it because it has the same options as this car just different color.
