@aronchi@Bostoncarconcierge That really stinks. i8s especially are a huge loss. I didnāt say anything initially because the managers themselves are swamped trying to coordinate things at the end of the month. It (kind of) surprises me the lengths people go to to save a few hundred bucks (especially when occupying someone elseās time and hard work).
@Electric That poster never posted on here publicly before, so they will probably just be lurkers for awhile or make a new account. I feel bad because I had another person who was very interested in the vehicle and genuinely was ready to sign.
Itās tough. You donāt want to charge a retainer but times like this it would make sense. I still donāt think retainers are better for business, but it would be smart to make sure your dealer has potential clients zip codes so they know theyāre going around you. My dealers always alert me when people from out of my area call them asking for quotes. As they know 95% of the time theyāre leasehackrs
All i can say is, keep doing what youāre doing and remain trustworthy! Thatās all we can do as brokers. Canāt let a few bad apples spoil the bunch.
Thanks Jim! I have worked outside of this site for awhile, and itās definitely a very different experience on here. They are people I see and go to work with on a regular basis, so the concept of a retainer fee never crossed my mind in the past.
Thatās the form to find your company if you qualify for the Corporate $500 rebate. Can combine with Conquest but NOT Loyalty!!
Separately, today (12/31) is the LAST day to sign up for BMW CCA 3-year membership to be immediately eligible for the BMW discount. If you wait until 1/1, you canāt get the rebate check unless youāre a member for at least 6 months.
Even if you plan to lease a BMW in the next few weeks, sign up for the CCA 3-year membership today !
Regarding the Corporate rebate ($500), it cannot be combined with loyalty.
BMW Corporate Sales Program incentive cannot be used in conjunction with Car Club of America (CCA), College Graduate Program, Group Partner & Family Program, European Delivery Program, Diplomatic and Embassy Program, Military Sales Program (USAA), Limousine & Hotel Shuttle Program, and VIP Purchase Program.

Do occasionally get Genesis G70 loaners, but usually more of the 2.0T variety. Honestly though, the price reduction (in my experience) is not as drastic as loaners from other brands
