Buy or Wait Opinions Help Needed
A. My CA said to pass and re-order another and wait another 6 weeks. They would retain the value of my trade. B. I could walk away. C. I could take the SAV and have them paint it as a repair. D. They did not offer but I thought of asking for a further discount (?$1000) and have them repair and take it. Thoughts please. |

I myself would reorder and wait. What's another six weeks compared to getting a "perfect" car.

If you keep it, the knowledge that it's damaged goods will bug you as long as you own it. re-Order now and it'll be a really nice Christmas present to yourself. |

Otoh, if they will knock $500 or a $G off, and repair it to your cosmetic satisfaction,
it might be worth the negotiation and fix...or, wait for a new one. I can understand your dilemma and being so disappointed. GL,mD

A repaint is NEVER as good as OEM from the factory. Even $1000 isn't enough to make up for a partial repaint. Who knows what it will look like in 5-7 years? I'd take A unless you just don't want the X5 anymore or have changed your mind on equiptment or engine. Just a thought, if you don't mind a repaint, you may be able to pursuade them to include an extended warranty with maintainance into the final contract at no cost to you. This will add value if you decide to sell it down the road. GL

I would take D for $1,000... but doubt they will do it.. is it dealer's fault or was it damaged in transit?

problem is that once you decline the vehicle, they cannot sell it as new so they'll probably end up using it as a floor demo which automatically decreases the value of the car anyway.. go for D.. i would.
