I had to post this “deal” Las Vegas JLR offered me earlier today because I think it speaks volumes about smaller markets with captive audiences, where dealer is willing to charge whatever someone is willing to pay, no matter how crazy it is…
I deleted the sheet the dealer texted me by accident, but this was essentially the bottom line:
$65k MSRP F-Type (essentially base P300), 39/10, $1500 DAS, $1,100 per month!!! I almost died laughing when they sent me the sheet. I told the salesman it had to be a mistake, but she said her sales manager put it together. I don’t know how you could even put that in print with a straight face. So pissed I deleted the dealer sheet…as it’s probably worth framing. And if I had been thinking properly at the time, I would have gotten incentives, contribution, MF for educational purposes; but it’s pretty obvious what happened here…I think
I’ve seen people buy 110k Levantes in Scottsdale and turn around and sell them because I have no idea. There is a certain sect of people here that literally do not give a **** about money in any capacity. I live a bit north of the Scottsdale airport and it’s private flights all day.
One guy shows up every month to the Ferrari dealership (monthly cars and coffee), Bugatti, Paganis, F50, Carerra GT, doesn’t matter. All Montana plates. All over a million dollars.
It got so bad at one event here, they just started denying 911 Turbo S/GTR3 because $200,000 was too poor. Last year they had a La Ferrari and Mc12 for sale down the street and one of those 1.8 million Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6
Here’s a fun one - 2020 BMW m550i. Salesman knew I was grounding an X3 and had loyalty, and had me wait a week so he could work with a specific manager to get the best deal possible, and this is what he came up with -
0% discount
No incentives, not even loyalty cash
Max MF (.00182)
$5k DAS + $1360/month @ 36/10
Not really surprising, it is the only BMW dealer in the state. I’d pay several thousand extra for an in-state dealer, but it looks like out of state broker it is.
