looking at the shipping schedule there is a very slight chance we can get on the Don Juan, which gives me the slightest bit of hope that I will get my car by July 4th (i am on vacation for that week so timing would be perfect!!) if not it would likely be the Torino and we would get our cars after July 4th ---

As of Monday mine was the first of June Typically takes a couple days to the port Port can take 3days up to 2 weeks to be put on a ship 2 week cruise to NYC A couple days-week at customs Trucked to your dealer Dealer has to do pre delivery inpsection All that info is what I’ve found online and Pete my salesman agreed with those timeframes, in a perfect world he said we could have it last week of june ---

Dealership is now saying if I don’t finance with BMW they’re knocking $500 off my incentive. First and last time I’m doing business with Towne. ---

No way, they can’t do that as bmw incentives don’t require their financing Worst case finance with bmw and and then refinance immediately with another bank ---

I can’t help but laugh (at least a little bit) about the fact that you’re buying a brand new M3 (at an already greatly reduced price) and bitching about $500. I see your point, but c’mon man. Also, you might be able to save more than $500 by financing elsewhere at a lower rate. ---

Tom it’s not just that… this dealership has been trying to nickle and dime me from the beginning. I’m already outweighing and crunching figures. I’m still buying the car but next time I’ll take my business else where… not really all that upset to bitch about it. - - - Updated - - - > [@Saxon](#): > > No way, they can’t do that as bmw incentives don’t require their financing > > Worst case finance with bmw and and then refuse immediately with another bank I could just refinance too after a month… ---

Jrod0187 did your car finish production? My salesman told me that the factory is shut down this whole week, so if yours didn’t finish last week there is a good chance it will sit stil until next Monday ---

My salesman told me that the factory is shut down this whole week, so if yours didn’t finish last week there is a good chance it will sit stil until next Monday I was just going to ask you what your status was. Mine finished up Monday and no update from there. I just called a second ago and they said “vehicle has arrived at port awaiting a vessel” ---
