I have a few interesting chats with dealers over the last week (not VW) - and been chucking a few broker prices around at them. These discounts that are being used by brokers aren't allways what they seem. They may well include any dealer contributions already being offered, so that changes the discount percentage. Additionally, the broker has to actually find a dealer that will agree to that discount - they may have had one (hence they can advertise that figure) but that doesn't mean you're going to get it.
I'd eat my own hat if you could get 15% of an R right now - given the fact that there is a 7 month odd wait to get them built, and clearly still a desirable car, why would dealers give that kind of discount knowing full well the next person that walks into a showroom may be very happy with 8%? I don't buy it.
Broker prices are a very good starting point for haggling with a dealer, but 15% off an R - no chance.
Surely though that would be misadvertising Mark. If i went through DTD i would be fully expecting the discount quoted.
It would indeed. I'm just saying what I've been told, not what's fact or not fact. And that there is no way anyone will get 15% off an R through a broker. I don't buy it I'm afraid! Maybe on lesser models, but not on an R. Just like you may well get 25.5% off a 330d because they are ten a penny, but you'll struggle to get more than 5% off an M3.
12% is the norm on a new M3 with some dealers now offering 15%! So if you can only get 5% then you've been ripped off I'm afraid!
Cousin managed 18% discount on an M3.
