I haven’t bought a car since pre Covid but dealers used to be open to negotiation. Now I’m looking a 2020/2021 CPO X5 and the dealers won’t come down more than $500 from what’s listed on their websites.
This is new for me… have you all noticed the same?
I speak for Germany:
I am a customer at my local BMW dealer for several years now, bought a brandnew M2 there. When I asked for rebate for the i4 M50 the sales guy said: “There is absolutely no chance…”
Opened Carwow, entered the config I wanted, got an offer with around 10% off, and showed it to the guy. Suddenly he offered me 8%.
Still ordered at the other dealer 300 miles away becuase it annoyed me as long term customer to not get any offer at all initially.
