sweet, you got a good deal right from the get go....sit back and relax :beer:
Awesome! Congrats, I hope our wait goes by quick.
I ordered mine on 03/24/12 and my dealer said that they dont know yet when mine will be processed. I no order number yet or a VIN. I guess things are slower in BFE KY.
For those that don't know, invoice to list (retail) is 8-11%. So at $55,000 list, they made $5500 hundred + they buy at 'dead' cost, roughly another 1.5-2%..... So.........did you get a good deal? A year from now, they'll be at invoice. Patience pays for those that wait it out.
A valid point for sure, but the flip side is having the enjoyment & use sooner. It can be looked at as "depreciation" and almost all the time you have to be to be "first". Similar argument to waiting to order can be made for buying used as well...
Do you really think the people here paying plus or minus 60k for a car are not in the know? You gotta pay to play and the few extra k to be one of the first is obviously worth it to them. Lots of the people here buying these cars are going to keep them a long time so recouping a lost grand or two is not the goal.
Boom! :beer:
....something most of us said one time or another (especially in 2006 when many thought the 'Shelby' was going to be rare and limited and great investment).....then financial situations change and it's in the 'market' section. I worked at a dealership, loved it when someone negotiates while saying " I'll pay cash " only to find out it's a loan from their financial institution.........I'm just saying. I completely understand wanting to be first but often last or waiting is the winner.:beer:

I knew I wasn't first, nor last, just love the car and willing to pay the price to get it. If something does happen, and I hope it doesn't, I'll sell the x3 first. I am paying cash no banks involved whatsoever...I'll sell everything else first maybe even a kid or two...lol So if their in the market place you'll know why. I understand your point about waiting, but to some of us even though our car is ordered the wait is still too long.
Im digging the gray with red stripes:rockon:
As for a great price or is it worth to wait a year then buy a '13. You could wait a couple years and get one for even cheaper. Of course the longer you wait the cheaper you will be paying for the vehicle but that all comes down to the owner and if can afford it. I'd personally rather pay up front and get the car instead of watching people drive them for 3 years and pick one up for half the price. All comes down to what you can afford and what you're willing to pay. Theres really no right or wrong answer.

so a savings of $25-$30k for someones garage queen.......Nice to be loaded.......have a daughter my son can marry ?? :rolling::beer:
I really think I will lurk in the weeds for now to see how this pans out. Would love to have one this summer but, I want to see if there is going to be any issues with all the new stuff. I really hope nope and I think there might be a 13 leftover in the winter so the dealer just might be willing to work with me. I could be way off who knows. BTW, I'm digging the color package you ordered. GL with the ride.
