So I know Cotswold and they know that I'm a serious buyer. We looked at what else was out there - they can access all models which are either built - whether in a showroom or en route to the UK or scheduled for build via the Sales System - and then at the car they had, which was the closest in spec to what I wanted. They did the sums and came up with a good offer which with a bit of further refinement i.e. reduction, fitted the bill. Total time taken 1 hour. Pick the car up next week after my towbar has been removed - it's aftermarket. If I hadn't had an affinity for a particular dealer I would have emailed them all to find out what they had in stock and asked them to reply with the spec they had and their best cash price for that particular car. That would have probably left me with perhaps 2 no more than 3 to speak to. It also clearly helps if you break down the options into must haves and likes to have - you can dispense with some of the latter if the deal is particularly good.

One thing to bear in mind when comparing discounts achieved with other purchasers is how much finance was involved in the deal. The more finance purchased, the easier it will be to achieve larger discounts as BMW will be making money out of lending money to you effectively. So don't expect to get as big a discount paying cash as you would via finance!

I've got it on good authority that the current discount level us 20% off the ex-vat price on 530d, 535d (including the extras) . This is made up from, £4500 from the finance contribution the rest discount. For better than this you're doing well!
Add this to the promo 4.9% on finance, new can come out cheaper or not far off used when talking as bout overall cost. |

is it near the end of the month and are they short of that month's target? Do they have the car with the spec you want in stock? Do they have a car with the spec you want in build? Is there a part-ex? if a part-ex and a BMW will it fit the criteria for AUB? Do you want finance? Are you likely to get the car serviced there? This isn't an exhaustive list.
