can't demo?!?

young1er · 03-19-2008, 01:54 PM

So my dealer is getting them in finally. HOWEVER, because their event is on the 29th I recieved this email from my CA:

Quote:

We are recieving our allocation, as we speak, we can't demo the car's till the 28th by my G. Mgr No demo's. The tech's will start stae inspecting them this week. I will be intouch when we can open them up for inspection from clients.

Needless to say I'm pissed.

oh that sucks, any other dealerships around that have them?

young1er · 03-19-2008, 02:36 PM

possibly, but I have already ordered from these guys

BMW Dreamer · 03-19-2008, 02:38 PM

I just went to the dealer by me and they had 1 demo. A black 135i auto with Coral interior, MSRP $42,500. My saleslady asked if I wanted to drive it? I said NO I better not. I can't buy one until next year, so why should I torture myself. They had 4 other 128i's there also, but were sold. 2 convertables. 2 Cashmere, 2 Crimson, 1 black 135i demo.

Instead, you'll just torture yourself by not knowing how the 135i drives. Pick your poison... :biggrin:

After ALL the posts and Youtube video's I know I don't have to drive it to LOVE IT 100%. My only poison is a LARGE Visa debt. BUT it will be payed off in 6 months. Crap.

Allentown and philly dealers have demos.

clived · 03-20-2008, 03:18 PM

If you've already placed an order, what's in it for them to give you a demo?

Satisfied customers mean alot - We have given our local BMW dealer about 9 cars worth of business in 10 years, between our family and close friends, simply because of the service. It would be very easy to go to another dealer an hour away if we were disatisfied in any way by our local guys. And we'd tell everyone we knew about it too.
