Don't forget the $500 stackable cert if you have MBCA membership over a year

GregTR

Well I'm neither USAA nor loyal coming from a BMW 328xi. And I wasn't bright enough to make the $50 investment into the club a year ago. Man, this sucks paying so much compared to others but it is what it is. Is there a dealer here who could confirm or deny publicly or in a PM whether there is cash on the wagon for November? Conquest or dealer cash, I'll take either one.

I received this from a local dealer this morning....

"the lease rates got better this month but the purchase incentives remained the same"

I would assume that implies the incentives are the same as October. Hope that helps.

I am reading that loyalty is no more ... can anyone confirm?

instantfob

I'll swing by a dealer this morning to find out and let my wife pick a color.

T.H.Carrera

Some more info I was able to gather:

* Month of November has a $4k certificate called "winter certificate" for lease and 5k for purchase
* There is no Conquest program available
* You can get an additional Ten basis point off the MF (buy rate) if you use autopay (for for e.g if it is 0.00148 it will become 0.00138)
* The MF has gone down vs previous month but do not have the new MF yet (so better to lease this month vs last)


Still no confirmation whether there is additional $$$ off available for loyalty, this USED to be $2k for E class sedan

GregTR

I assume this is for sedans only. As always wagons get the shaft... Kinda sucks but it is what it is. *sigh*

Has anyone received information on E250 incentives and if the leases have improved on it? I think the E250 was using the standard money factor in October, but residual value seemed high. Thanks!

instafob: how did it go? got a deal done yet ?

instantfob

Barry is cool. He is looking for the car I want. He said he could leverage off their sister store under Penske flag too

I am waiting on another bid from my original dealer since my fleet guy doesn't work on the weekends.

Thanks!


I was at Keyes in Van Nuys and they had lots of 13' C63 sitting on the lot.

Are you swapping your f10 with e350 ? Looks like you have tried both w212 and F10 which one do you prefer ?

instantfob

Got the F10 for my wife 6 months ago, but we swap cars every now and then. I have the ActiveHybrid F10 (basicallly a 535i with a giant battery booster) so it's 300lbs heavier what I say doesn't apply to K-A's 535i M Sport experience.


I love the current F10 for the iDrive. It is one generation ahead of the mBRACE system. The electric steering on mine feels totally disconnected from the road but the engine has LOTS of power paired with ZF-8 speed auto box (but MBZ is working on 9 speed auto for one-up purpose)


Basically BMW wants to be a swiss army knife of big sedans while W212 keep it simple with at the time of purchase either go sport (hard) or luxury (soft).


I like them both to be honest since W212 is just great at eating miles after miles while F10 is for awesome for all the tech geeks like me. (their iDrive can be coded to unlock more functions that Europeans get)

PM me for details.... no need to start another debate here.

K-A

I think fob is all about an even playing field, i.e keeping both brands around?

instantfob

You bet!

Greg @Pacific was tempting me with the 328i M-Sport this month. They have silent conquest cash making it a very tasty lease. I am drawn to the loyalty program and pull ahead ... I am cursed with Car-ADD.

K-A

Lol, man tell me about it! I love my car but am already my eyes are wandering. I want a facelift 2014 5 Series in white with Mocha Nappa if I can get a similar aggressive deal as I got before, lol. I've acquired a car every year since 2008 when I think about it (almost missed keeping that up last year but made it happen 2 days before the year ended ) and think that it's a streak that shouldn't be broken.

T.H.Carrera

where you able to find out if there is any additional loyalty cash on top of loyalty pull ahead on the benz ?

2006_C350

I'd like to know what the max discount is on a 2014 E350. Is $12K off realistic or should I wait until end of December?

maguzma

Offer 10K of sticker and report that you will pay cash via your bank,

tdisedanman

Would these sales rebates apply to CPO vehicles as well? I purchased my 2011 CPO E350 Bluetech November 3rd and they told me MB would pick up the first two payments up to $1200.00 and they also said the extended warranty was the same price as the gas models , about 2400 which was another sale that just started. That said, the case was priced about 3500 below KBB value to start with and bthey did give me KBB good value on my trade.

These incentives are only for new vehicles.

instantfob

Did the pull-ahead last night.

Sad to see the hood star go, but I am warming up to the new front splitter (ankle chopper) and the Pano Roof
I didn't want the AMG wheel option because I like my tires in non-staggered setup (and I can rotate them for maximum life)

T.H.Carrera

Congrats but you did not get the lighting package ?

2006_C350

I think the wheels you got are still staggered tho, no? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

thenew3

I think you are right. Only vehicles equipped with 4matic comes with non staggered wheels.

instantfob

no. 245/40/R18 all around.
just checked it.
