@runstrawberry - why would a dealer want to locate you a car and give you the VIN? With the VIN, you could google the car and contact the dealer that has it directly. They could locate a car and tell you the MSRP and you could negotiate from that, easily estimating the cost of the car. No VIN needed.
I think you’d be better off finding a dealer willing to lease you a car for X amount below invoice minus incentives and at a specified MF. The RV is fixed and non-negotiable. If you qualify for A-Plan, then it would probably be invoice minus $3,000 since I don’t think there are any incentives on the 2019 S90 yet. That could change next month, though. Have the dealer who’s offering the best deal find out what they could have delivered to their dealership fresh with no lot damage with no trade fees from getting a car from 150+ miles away.
My guess is if you get to specific really and dealership will smell that it’s what you want they would not essentially negotiate.
It would be just being at their mercy which won’t give much leverage.
But people even on this forum got car they reallly wanted for the prices that usually won’t be stellar deals.
It’s something you wish for and thus will pay more.
But I gues you are aware of that and ready to accept higher sticker for getting what you want.
Because he was probably talking about a car at the port which can easily be switched from one dealer to the other? I may misunderstand, of course. But this is what I would do.
The cars at the port are most likely unallocated and can be given to any dealer that requests them. If a car has been allocated (put into some dealer’s pipeline), it is probably on hold in STOR status and could either be transferred to another dealer under the discretion of the market manager or allowed to reassigned by the dealer who’s pipeline it’s in. I don’t picture any dealer refusing to give up a 2019 S90 at the port. If they wanted the car, they’d have it shipped.
@KD6-3.7 I’m really grateful for your reply and the info you gave is really helpful. I agree that it will be a great loss if you leave the forum. Very sorry the whole thing makes you uncomfortable.
I think the 2018, S90 seems to be a great deal. What do you mean by fiasco? “There will be very few of them after '17-18 fiasco”
Is there a problem with the 2018 S90’s ?
