Idle time at port of entry?(March rates/discounts etc?)

dasistato · 02-26-2018, 02:24 PM

Car arrived baltimore last thursday and will be at the dealer this thursday(Baltimore POE to NOVA dealer, 1 week) Is this a normal time frame? I feel like they are postponing delivery to March on purpose. I was expecting the car to come in before February ended and was hopeful to get better pricing due to end of month.

Also, any info out about March rates, discount and rebates?

Thanks.

Are you getting any interior or exterior accessories installed on the car? That is done at the port.

I thought, you could've locked all Feb incentives now. Rate, rebate, fleet, loyalty all lockable.

Are all the M Performance parts always installed at the ports?

lock in feb programing with your sales rep so whatever happens next month you will have options.

March info like all programing isn't released till the first day or two of the month.

I already have december offerings locked up. But it seems that general upfront dealer discount is larger in Feb? I will give the CA a call and see what he says tomorrow.

What type of accessories are installed at the port?

Thanks

All the M Performance stuff and carbon accessories are port installed. Exhaust - spoilers - Front splitter - steering wheel

That timeframe is accurate. My car also went to Baltimore and only needed to go to Silver Spring and it took a week exactly and that's with no accessories installed.

You can reach out to your dealer to see if you can take paper delivery before the end of the month if you're trying to use December rates if those were locked for you.

What are the February incentives? Sorry, I can't find them.

Can't mix-n-match incentives, you take all Dec package incentive or all Feb/March.

For example for me, Dec incentives
Holiday rebate $3000
Fleet $1500
Loyalty $1500

Feb incentives
APR credit $4000
Loyalty $750
Fleet $500

I can't take APR $4000 of Feb then have loyalty and fleet from Dec. Well if I could my CA screwed me over

Can APR credit be combined with European delivery?

I'm aware of that. I just sent the CA email asking him to draft me a deal with Feb incentives and be prepared to do the same for March when I go to pick the car up.

A screw up by them would be good, but highly unlikely
