This seems to be a region with little in the way of deals, so I’d like to get some input here. Thinking of offering ~12% off MSRP on a ‘25, or somewhere around 8-10% on a ‘26 BMW X3 before incentives for a purchase w/trade. Open to lease if it’s a solid deal but none in this area that I have seen. Willing go the broker route if it makes more sense.
Plenty to choose from in local inventory but dealers here don’t seem too interested in making a deal. I want to go in with an offer that’s at least got a reasonable chance or is a solid starting point.
Not at all but the information you are asking for would make your life much easier just to work with someone who has been doing this for years. All the information is presented to you clearly on this site.
Not sure how helpful it’ll be for your region, but in CA I just got offered 12% off on a 2026. Was helping a friend shop and ended up getting him into a 2025 loaner that was 20% off.
Look outside your region. The pre-incentive discount percentage from CA or NY should be your target. You won’t necessarily get there but at least you have a target and will know where you’ll break even with shipping
Get one from out of state from myself or someone else at 10-12% off, pay the shipping fee, and you’ll still be miles ahead of anything you can get locally, I’m confident.
Yeah, and it’s weird as there are four dealers within an hour’s drive, 3 of them inside 30 mi; another 3 if I push to two-three hours out. There’s not a ton of inventory but there’s enough to choose from and yet, even with multiple dealers and decent inventory, nobody seems to be able to get a deal up here.
Forget about WA — your best chance is definitely OR.
Reach out to the GM at BMW of Eugene; he was really easy to work with when I was shopping for a new i5 in March of last year. He offered me 11.5% off and base MF.
I was ready to sign with him, but he stopped responding for about a day — turned out he was at a corporate event. By the time we reconnected, BMW of Portland had offered me an even better deal, but I’ve leased several cars from them before.
BTW, BMW of Portland changed ownership recently. Hopefully that ends up being a good thing.
