Hello all
Haven't been on this forum on a while, but some random calls from dealers touting for business piqued my interest
Within the space of a couple of days, two separate dealerships I'd previously bought cars from cold-called me to see if I was interested in any new cars. Just so happens, I'd had a bit of good luck recently and had been thinking of treating myself to a Clubsport or R
Not driving at present on medical grounds, but will be again in November which ties in with estimated current factory lead times
No PX. Looking at putting £8000 down at start, and with the specs I wanted, keeping payments no more than £340 on Clubsport and £370 on the R over 4 year, 10k miles
First dealership was suggesting 20-26 weeks for factory orders on Clubsport, Edition 45 (definitely longest lead time of the three) and R at present, and suggested discounts (including finance incentive) of around 14% were available on all three models.
Second dealership suggested much the same build periods, but was offering discounts of around 10% instead, including finance incentives.
Dealership A discounts are in line with what is being suggested when going through Drive The Deal, and dealership B discounts are in line when going on Carwow pricing - kept attempting to close down the conversation when pushed for more.
Before I take it any further, and also pester my local dealer what are other's experiences of recent offers % wise on factory orders?
