My broker knows the right people in dealership for vehicle allocation.
His fee was 7.5K, and helped me build it the way I wanted online. I didn't bother to negotiate with him...
When it came, I just went to the dealer for financial papers and pick it up.

There is one on the ground I’m interested in and can get it for 20k over (seems to be about avg in the North East). I’m curious what people think here given the refresh 25s will hit the market late this year / early next year. I put very little mileage on my cars so if I go and trade in the MY24 for a MY25 (dealer is saying they will let me order a MY25 at max 20k over as well (and lower if market cools). I’ve been sitting pretty with the RR since I got it at sticker so can trade it now for essentially what I paid for it. Ugh - tough call.
anyway - appreciate any advice people may have.

I think to the OP that 15k over for a spec you want is not terrible. As others have said prices vary widely based on geography and how flexible you're willing to be. I know a dealer in texas getting 30k over easily and I know Calif is also still strong.

Apples and Oranges. Those are because of government taxes. Not dealer markup. The List price of a G63 in Hong Kong is over $400,000 because there’s a 100% tax of new cars.
In addition, many manufacturers make a point of offering the best prices for the US market given its relevance for their results and the fact it is the most competed market for traditional brands (things are rapidly changing with the growth of the Chinese market and Chinese brands). Models destined for the US with same model designation may have a higher level of content than those destined for other markets. And they may also have more unseen safety and emissions features to comply with California and general US regulations. The pics above show how G63s in my market are not equipped with front bumper bars that are standard in the US. Years ago I was involved with setting up BMW here. The initial prices we received were higher than the retail prices offered in Miami and third parties were invading our market. Fortunately the factory agreed to offer us prices aligned with US wholesale prices. They achieved these prices, in part, by decontenting the units we received.
And in terms of margin, higher value brand distributors in our market enjoy higher margins than their equivalents in the US. The prices for the G63 above are all imported on an import duty exempt basis. Exonerations are granted to government officials and are re-sold to imports of high value vehicles. So, they DO reflect the cost of buying and applying an exonerated, but NOT the full price of local import tariffs. Having said that, some customers (myself included) refuse to buy exonerated vehicles and pay above the prices shown for equivalent new cars.
So, yes, the main difference is the import duty, but other factors make the price difference even larger here and in other markets.
Long-winded, but hopefully useful for MBWorld readers comparing prices in the US versus other markets.
