I was offered 3.49 upon signing the deal. 1 full percent above what was produced on the website.

They're unfortunately getting greedy.

I did a hard credit pull in September 21 and have not done one since. The dealer again told me yesterday they can call BMWFS and get me the old rate since I was approved previously.

We shall see!

Many of the Week X threads all have this very same discussion complete with the armchair lawyering.

I am mostly interested to see who is getting a week 1 car and to confirm it doesn't have a touch CID.

Everyone is so fed up with bmw and the dealerships shenanigans that when they see someone else getting screwed (again) it pisses them off.

Once you make a decision on which direction you are taking with your car make sure you put this dealership on blast. Even, if for some reason, they come threw the fact that they tried that bullshit is unforgivable

I was browsing Porsche, Mercedes' and Audi forums and it doesn't seem like those guys are going through the same or even close amount of bs as us.

What can be done to avoid this type of situation? All I have is a build sheet that shows MSRP. Should I be asking for a purchase agreement before the car gets here?

This is what I got from my dealer in addition to the build sheet. Still, this doesn't guarantee anything.

I also have a similar sheet from Porsche, but that one came with the MSRP crossed out with pen and a note that reads "MSRP subject to change".

Not much really, we're at the whim of the dealers. In some cases, legal action (or the threat of) can work, but if they decide to go after more money, not much the consumer can do.

Once you sign your purchase agreement your payments will start. My dealer said they could only do this once they had a VIN. So, that's an option, but this could mean that you'd start making payments months before you get your car (given the current situation).

Also, this only accelerates the conversation. If they want to shaft you they still can and will. You'll just know sooner.

Thanks for sharing, something like this would be comforting but they didnt even take the time to fill in the make and model.

Gotcha, I figured its up to the dealer in the end. Just want to make sure there isn’t some key step in the ordering process that I missed..

You are correct. That came with the build sheet. Two separate documents, I know. Nevertheless, I've bought cars from this person many times and we "trust each other". I bought my first car from him when he was the Internet Sales person, and now he is the Director of New and Pre-Owned Car sales. Also, it's widely known that this dealer in my area behaves different to the rest. He was upfront with me from day one saying "I can't give you a discount, but we also won't charge you above MSRP".

I'll post here when my deal is completed and let you all now how it went.

Thanks that makes sense. I am flying out of state to pick mine up, so wondering if there is anyway I can find out if I am getting the shaft ahead of time. Lol

I think in your case you have a valid reason to want to see the purchase agreement ahead of taking the trip there. I'd ask if I were you. You're now close enough to delivery and can tell them that you need to see the contract before you buy your plane ticket (whether you're buying a plane ticket or not is irrelevant).

Yea I also got a sheet like that with all the fees and tax and such. No mention of any other price increases. Not once in the entire process was anything but msrp mentioned.

It's one thing to charge a markup for an available allocation or car on the lot. Still pretty scummy but I understand for the need of it now type of people.

But to wait months for an allocation / building / shipping for an agreed upon price only to at the very last second throw a 10k markup is about as low as it gets in the car salesman game. I almost look forward to blasting them at this point.

Talk to a lawyer. You have a written document from them. I think you have a case.

I can only imagine how that meeting went

Wendy: "hey guys. We are a fucking mess. Cars are sitting around in parking lots. Parts are missing. There is no order to when cars are shipped. People are pissed! What do we do?!"

Senior management: "yes"


Meeting concluded.
