Did you order or buy off the lot?

mmeads · 03-08-2006, 03:23 PM

Per sdorn's suggestion, here's a poll for us.

Did you Order, Buy off the lot, or have a car located for you?

shimshimhada · 03-08-2006, 03:25 PM

That third option is the same as the second.

Oz · 03-08-2006, 03:25 PM

Off to lot. Dealer had the exact car I was looking for and I got a good deal out of it..I needed a car within 2 weeks and I really couldn't wait 1-2 months.

Oz · 03-08-2006, 03:26 PM

I think the third option is for dealers who found cars through other dealer's lots so it should be valid

Yeah, I knew some people would gripe that I didn't have their exact situation listed.

0700700 · 03-08-2006, 03:27 PM

all cars individually ordered

... alright don't make this difficult.

sdorn · 03-08-2006, 03:32 PM

I leased the first and only one I test drove. I have a feeling I will special order my next one and ED it. I could see myself getting an M3 or maybe a 335 coupe when my lease is up.

325 Baller · 03-08-2006, 03:33 PM

got one off the lot, didnt want to wait 3 months for my car. They had it almost exactly how i wanted it (didnt have the xenons grrr) and got a really good deal on the lease and the trade in (1500 over KBB for the trade in). So i cant complain.

dencoop · 03-08-2006, 03:37 PM

I said I ordered it....but...

I took European Delivery...you dont have this option in the poll.

mmeads · 03-08-2006, 03:38 PM

good grief. ED=ordering. unless you just bought your car off a Gernam Lot while you were on a vacation over there. (How you'd get it back, i've got no clue).

shimshimhada · 03-08-2006, 03:39 PM

European Delivery and Performance Center Delivery is the same thing as ordering your vehicle.

shimshimhada · 03-08-2006, 03:40 PM

See! The third option is totally useless and only detrimental to your quest for numbers.

ashecnc · 03-08-2006, 03:41 PM

Its very easy, you either a) off lot or b) ordered it

mmeads · 03-08-2006, 03:42 PM

Whatever!
It's an AWESOME poll and the results will be statistically sound with a margin of error of less than one. I'm doing this to publish it in Newsweek next month, to which they will then quote it as The Bible and fact handed down from God himself.

bimmer4me · 03-08-2006, 03:42 PM

I think the vast majority of members here ordered there e90s.

Yeah, but God speaks to Newsweek... :P

vladinecko · 03-08-2006, 03:46 PM

definitely ordered!

i also tend to incline to those who say 2 & 3 options are virtually identical.

ABR · 03-08-2006, 03:52 PM

I took mine off the lot. The 4 months wait is not for me....

BellasBmw · 03-08-2006, 03:59 PM

Well when i found mine, she was already on the ship. I purchased her about 3 days before she arrived at the port. So technically, i ordered.. had to wait about 2 weeks.
