How to get over 10% (close to 12%) discount on Cadillac Optiq and Lyriq

Looking for Optiq Lux 1, or Lyriq lux 1, and wanted to see if I can get close to 12% discount (10% may work too) on these loaners. Most dealers are not willing to go over 6% to 8%, checked with most dealers within 50 miles. Do you think one can get over 10% off here?

Can one negotiate with out of state (neighboring state) and get it registered in CA without much hassle?

Check on the Cadillac website. The dealer nearest to me is advertising at 10-11% discount to start, without any conversation.

I suspect the ad has a lot of “*” that will ultimately not result in a 10-11% pre-incentive/-rebate discount off of MSRP.

OP, are you making the dealers an offer?

A lot of them are including regular 2k incentive and sometimes even other incentives in that discount and are not disclosing correctly.

yes. i am making an offer and most are not willing to accept. only few colors (most people may not like), or high priced options they are willing to go deeper discount. I might take one at 8% or so too, but 12% on a 55-56k car would be great to be under a good target monthly range. Is it because they don’t have that many loaners?

It is probably because they are currently overwhelmed by people trying to buy EVs before September 30.

Are broker deals on new cars not w/i your target monthly range (genuine question)?

Yes, I need to check that now. will reply back later.

Check your pm

That’s the name of the game. It wouldn’t be hacking if most of them accepted.

Keep broadening your search and making more offers.

What?! I bought one from that dealer that had 11% discount (an ex loaner) and got 13% total. So you’re the only one talking ****

You can make your point without resorting to name-calling or swearing.

If you feel that you got such a good deal (which, based on your post history, was 2 months ago, when the market might’ve been quite different), then perhaps you’ll PM the OP the name of your dealer.

How does 13% total discount after 11% off MSRP equate to 2k loaner incentive. can you give more details? I have tried almost all dealers, 10%+ discount before this incentive is more work than normal, maybe because of the credit ending lot of them are busy.

Ok so i was looking at slightly better pricing than some CA brokers here. I should have checked these numbers before starting my search.

One is advertised as:

2025 Cadillac Optic Sport 1 / Luxury 1
$349+ tax
24 mos / 10k mi / $2500 driveoffs / $600 broker
Socal (Conquest + Costco EXEC)

They may be around 6-8% discount on NEW. and no 2k loaner incentive, plus fee. i guess I should be good with 8% discount and 2k loaner.

There was one Optiq that was 12% off (I assume it was a new car, but not sure), but it sold out.

Your goal might not have been unattainable, but maybe all those are gone right now?

looks like these are all gone now. This was an even better deal than adding the 2k loaner incentive. Maybe that’s why now it’s a little difficult to get one at that price range. Was a little late.

neighboring out of state dealers should be no problem, right?

That’s fair. I apologize. And yes, mine was 2+ months ago

Yes I think they are largely gone. I got an ex loaner for about 47000 then stacked a load of additional discounts off that

Dealer is Carlsbad Cadillac

Over here in Texas, the best 3 offers I’ve gotten were 10.75%, 9.9%, and 7.3% discounts (prior to incentives) for the Cadillac Optiq Sport 1 / Lux 1. All were loaner cars. I think getting an 8-10% discount would be acceptable in my eyes, based on what I’ve seen the past month.

if i want to get it shipped, it is possible, right? and doesn’t change the numbers by a lot. 10% will be great.
