Fleet discount good through Jan 31 on M2?

Damage Inc · 01-19-2018, 11:42 PM

Found out today that my company qualifies for fleet. Looking at the BMW site, it states offers are good through Jan 31. Its going to be tight for me to negotiate a deal by the end of the month due to travel, and I have to find a dealer who will give me what I want for my trade out of state.

Is it likely the fleet discount will extend into Feb?
Looks like its $2k off the M2. Plus another $500 if I go w BMWFS

Any thoughts or comments? Getting a bit stressed. I will have to pull this off this coming week without much time to work on it... tia

Nobody ever knows what’s going to happen with incentives, but last year the $2,500 buyer’s incentive lasted until spring. Make the deal before the end of January and get it in writing that the dealer will honor it until your car arrives. (All the dealer has to do is make a quick call to his BMW rep or BMWNA to make it happen.)

This is good advice. So as long as I have it in writing, the dealer can still honor it even if it goes away?

That’s what happened for several of us a year ago. YMMV.

I'm being told its either $2k towards purchase or $500 if use BMWFS. Cannot combine.

Obviously I'll do the $2k. But checking with you all to make this info from the dealer is accurate. Thanks.

That is true. Now it’s $2,000 if you bring cash or your own loan funds OR $500 if you finance through BMWNA. I can’t imagine anyone opting for the $500 option now.

Last year, the incentive was $2,500 on the purchase.

Ah, ok. The dealers dont like to use BMW FA it seems, so they try to push against this. Good insight though, helps me in my negotiations!

I have a M2 that will be arriving at dealer shortly. I'm eligible for USAA and Fleet discount. They both look to be 2k. Any reason one is preferable. I understand that I can't stack the two of them. Any help would be appreciated.

The fleet incentives have been extended through Feb. 28, 2018.

Historically what do these fleet/corporate discounts look like? $2k now but I'm looking to order for delivery in June.

Spa2k · 02-21-2018, 12:14 AM

The incentives may be gone by then because the market has picked up, just like happened last year. Your dealer should be able to get a guarantee on the incentive for your delivery, even if the program isn’t in effect then. Several people did that last year - just make sure it’s in writing.

Good to know fleet is still active through Feb. Thanks guys.
