You're welcome.

You told the dealer your price.... So there are a few possible

1. Dealer looks, finds a vermillion but the dealer that has it wants too much and your dealer cannot add $4000 profit, so they say "we couldnt find anything"

2. Dealer looks, finds one, adds $4000, and calls you and says "We can get one, it is a bit more than you want to pay"..and the grinding begins. Importantly the selling dealer now knows there is a buyer in play for the vermillion.

3. Dealer looks, finds one, adds 4k and you are OK with the price

In both 1 -3 , had you found the vermillion you would be 4k under where you are with your local dealer.


Folks need to understand what motivates used car dealers... they are opportunistic, money grabbing, dishonest and lazy. A trailer on a lot on the corner, or inside the BMW building wearing nice clothes- you can find the same motivations. DO NOT think that becuase it is a BMW dealer it is any different.

IMO
