They definitely make more money. Their willingness depends on the overall demand for the car. I was able to get a pretty good discount on the 2017 Jaguar F-Type that I ordered. In general though, dealers definitely seem to be more willing to negotiate on price when a car is sitting on their lot costing them money.

Higher volume dealers of certain brands do this. We were able to order a '23 Grand Cherokee for 4% below invoice ($7k off MSRP), but vehicles on the lot were MSRP.

Im in the UK and I am getting a lease but the discount to the company was £7500. So substantially less than MSRP.

I've been tracking 2024 M2s at 6 local dealerships to me. I live in Orange County CA.
Irvine BMW, Crevier, Buena Park, Murrieta, Ontario dealerships I have an excel sheet with their M2s on lot. These dealerships have about 15 M2s combined sitting on lot.

Irvine BMW just sold a white one priced at 68k.

No movement on the other 14 M2s.

No ones buying right now.

How are you tracking inventory across multiple dealers? What about custom orders, which I'd imagine most M2s are? How are you tracking and differentiating those?

Have a good feeling a "stop sale" will go out on the MY25 to push remaining 24s

In Los Angeles only Nick Alexanders had any M2s on the lot. They are asking ADMs on them.
