Is there any incentive for dealer to close deal before year's end?

CORTDD · 12-01-2009, 06:59 AM

Is there any incentive for a dealership to close a deal before the end of the year? I am looking for a certain 2010 M3, and would like to know if dealers might be especially motivated to get cars off the lot before January 2010. Also, Is there any trunk money on 2010 M3's?

Thanks.

Yes, I believe dealers want to get deals done before year end so will generally try to get that done if possible. This is my understanding anyway.

More incentive on remaining '09s. Sure I'm sure the dealer would love to sell you the '10 you want, but I wouldn't expect anything too special.

I've always wondered if there was a particularly better month than others for this. I heard February, but that didn't seem right.

Every day dealers want to move cars.

Not my dealer. He has a take it or leave it attitude. At the moment, I'm leaving it. Unless the deal is especially attractive, I'm waiting for the LCI.

True. Dealers have monthly sales goals.
