I’ve been a long-time lurker and am excited to finally share my first post. I recently placed a custom order for a fully loaded 2026 BMW X5 M60i. Here are the numbers the dealer has offered so far:
Discount: 6.2% off MSRP
Rebates: $2,000
Financing: 2.99% APR
Deposit: $0 (Dealer waived based on a soft credit check)
Im in Austin, TX
The dealer seems firm on these numbers, so I reached out to Scott from ICA to see if a deeper discount is possible through a broker. While I’m waiting to hear back from him, I’m wondering about my leverage.
Since I haven't placed a deposit yet, is it effective to use a broker’s quote as a bargaining chip to push my current dealer further? Or should I just jump ship if the broker deal is significantly better?
Thanks in advance for the help!
