Shipper recommendations for buying M2C across the country
I got rid of my M240 on Sunday and I've already got the M2C itch
From my brief conversations with dealers so far, ordering a 2021 from out of state will be several thousand dollars cheaper. However, I have to factor in shipping the car back to CA (if not for COVID I'd just do PCD or fly to the dealer). Can anyone share thoughts/experiences with shipping a new car from a dealer across the country? The dealer said their contracted shippers charge 0.75. to 1.00 dollars per mile for covered shipping and I'm looking at a 2000+ mile distance which really wipes out the out of state savings. Is that a reasonable amount for covered shipping? And would anyone dare ship a brand new M2C across the country uncovered? Thanks for all the insights. Looking forward to getting more involved on this subforum a I hopefully join the M2 crew.

The buyer of my RS4 just had it shipped using Intercity (covered, not a broker) who appeared to be highly recommended. For a TX to ME trip, it was around $2k I believe, which seems reasonable. Uncovered and using a broker would probably run a little over half of that, but I wouldn't ship that way.

My local dealers refuse to budge of MSRP and act all surprised/dismissive when I say I'm getting offers for 5%+ off MSRP out of state on 2021 orders.

At $1.00 per mile, provided the transaction is not too difficult then why not save thousands if your local dealers will not budge. Some will not so in these tough times no need to spend more than needed.
FYI this deal was for a new X5 45e as I got my M2 for European Delivery pricing earlier this month. It was a custom order too as I wanted very specific options which would be impossible to find on a lot. There are very few in the US so far.
