You would be hit with a year's worth of depreciation as soon as you drive it off the lot. They'd better offer a pretty darned good deal to compensate for that.
I considered a 2012 but the incentives were not available in October. The price increase for a 2013 is only $500. Unless you can get at least $2500 under invoice, I would not consider a 2012. :dunno:
Not much that it's worth it from what I've seen. Too many retail shoppers who will think a 2012 at invoice is a good deal for someone informed to get much better. You can get invoice or less on a 2013 if you know when and where to shop but the dealers also know the uninformed will take that 2012 for same
The incentives for 2013 are the $1,000 if you use BMW finance and a $750 Loyalty (if you own a BMW now). The $1,000 works for the leasing, but if you buy, you must use the BMW finance at 3.29% for 60 months but that is still very high, therefore you will pay more than the savings in higher interest. Again, $500-$1,000 over invoice is the goal for a 2013 BEFORE incentives, I would not consider a 2012 unless you have at least $2,500 under invoice. that being said, I do not know if the dealer will come down that far on a 2012, but if you have a cost in mind, go to the dealer and stick to it. This is BMW, not a domestic brand. The domestics rely on incentives, but not BMW's. :tsk:
Wow! The factory incentive in Canada is $3,000, plus another $1,000-1,500 for loyalty and my dealer is prepared to knock off another $3,500 in discounts for any new 2012 3 Series car.
