And Then There Is Also The Excise Tax Savings

My SR called me about two weeks ago and was pushing hard for me to pass on my order and go with "the dealership's first 2021 X5 M50i allocation." I think he may have had someone very interested in my build and willing to pay full price or above. Regardless, I thought about it, also keep my vehicles for more than five years and realized the excise tax savings would help make up for any additional value the 2021 would bring with it over time. After this extended wait and the recent spike in COVID cases in SC, I also gave weight to the "bird in hand." But as you said, everyone has different approaches and considerations that influence their purchases and go with what works best for them. In the end, that's what matters; what's best for each individual situation and preference.
