It was route 10 nj dealer.
Believe me I know this all too well - same crap as when i was getting my car last year at about this time. All tristate dealers were talking about Fsports like they are some rare cars nobody can find RWD??? they laughed at me.

Thats why i just went and ordered the 535i RWD built to my specs and BMW honors the pricing until ur ordered car arrives.

One thing that is common on any great deal right now is that buyers selected from in stock inventory. When you custom order the car it takes a lot longer.

Driving a RWD car in the snow is horrible. I guess they may have figured that most buyers have purchased the AWD option over the years.

Thats nice that BMW does that. I wish Lexus would honor the current pricing until the car came in, if they did, I would have ordered one with HUD & LKA. It does make sense that they will have AWD cars in the NY area, but its annoying that they have zero cars in the region with HUD or LKA. They're not expensive options to add onto a small percentage of luxury package GSes. I also got looked at funny when I started asking about how to get HUD and even considered special ordering a car. Unfortunately, they scared me off when they told me that my trade value would decrease by the time the car came in and that I'd miss out on the current deals, etc. Even Cadillac had CTSes on the lot with HUD.

And this is honestly reasonable from a sales perspective. Inventory is $$$ and RWD cars would sit on lots in the northeast. Blame mother nature.

dealers have incentives to move cars on the lot, it costs them money each day. Why would they be incentivized to give a discount on a special order car that doesnt exist?

Lucky you. In DC metro we have several dealers but nobody really seems to have any 2014's with F-Sport or the Luxury package. On the base car right now, you can expect a reasonable 5% discount but a marked up money factor when leasing.

The December to Remember program has uniform terms in the Northeast for 27Mth lease of GS350. weird that they want or trying to mark it up.
