Hi I’m being offered 2017 demo unit (test drive) for 198k and new 2018 unit for 225k. Body only price without insurance.

Understand new generation could be released next year, but I guess everyone forget CKD will take a while while the first batch will not be giving me this price for similar spec. Can’t afford 300k for a 3 series M sport by then. Look at Merc brand new C200, it’s 259k.

Also hybrid new generation will be repressing petrol only version while hybrid most likely a few years later.

Anyway just getting opinion from sifu which offer will you take since there is 27k difference between demo and new?

Think can pressed further for demo! Two months time it's a 2 years old car Liao! 190k sounds good with freeby like free Windows tint!

End of July registered so 15 months in. Surprisingly 3.5k mileage only.

You mean you will choose this over a new one for this even short of 15 months warranty and “somehow” used?

I see. Most of the video we saw on the net was the 330i. Most likely will have a lower variant which will be the 320i.

I say only! Couldn't afford BMW!

Press the price of demo car further 188k sounds good
No point getting a brand new 330e
Since f30 going to be replace real soon

wow, kudos to BMW for throwing price. Pity those early batch owner that paid full price

Just get the demo unit bro. No point getting new unit. G20 looks good

Yeah the reason being tempted is because of the amazing price given now. Of course one can argue thats due to G20 released soon but still G20 price will be placed way higher thats for sure, never believe if anyone say otherwise

Yeah I am really interested in the demo unit earlier (3.5k mileage after 1 year and 3 months registered?), thats really less even for demo, maybe not being used a lot. Went to another dealer , they have a test drive unit 2017 as well 10.4k mileage LOL

But the reason of contemplation was the warranty and free service for 5 years which I wont get it in full if I get the demo one. Will follow the registration date hence will only left with 3 years and 9 months. Decent still for sure, but one can argue if 15 months (warranty, free service, wear and tear) worth 27k (difference between the offered price).

What do you think

Let me share with you my experience bro since I was in similar situation as you.

I was in the market to buy a new car last year. Went to Hap Seng Star balakong, was offered 258k for C350e instead of the original price 294k.

It was a zero mileage pre registered for 6 months. Straight I placed booking.

Looking at your situation, I think you should visit more dealership Auto Bavaria, Wheelcorp, Quill etc. to check if theres any better deal. Who knows maybe you will be able to find a pre reg zero mileage car bro.

Wow, didnt know got pre-registered with zero mileage. Did u get any other freebies?

This is the marketing tactic used by BMW, Merc and even VW to boost their sales which is good for consumer.

2 mercedes Benz umbrella, calendar, magazine, polo t with some goody bags lo.

Salesman is a good friend.

I see, not bad. But i think the best is Zero mileage.

G20 PHEV may not even be here until end of 2019. So if you are opting for the G20 PHEV you will have some time to wait.

Bought 2 years extended warranty from Ingress for RM11k one year ago...

PHEV for Mercedes are no longer on sale. Parts will be expensive or at least relatively due to supply demand. Plus the charging port at the rear bumpers is not that seamless

Doesn’t matter bro. People who buy mercedes Benz know what they are getting into. We don’t go for bmw for free service like others. LMAO!

Was told by my salesman I can only buy warranty before the warranty ends. Is it right for your case? Different dealer thought, mine is Wearnes.

Great technique. Went to the showroom earlier, told him I’ll compare price, promise he will fight for special approved price from superior. Let’s see what I get. Looking at I can actually buy extended warranty at the end of tenure, looks like it’s better if I get the demo unit rather than new.

Did drop by to a few other showroom but yeah this is the best I’m getting now. Topcoat bad I don’t have a good Friend as salesman, i Guess most of the best deal went to you guys haha 😄😄

I purchased 9 months before it expired. Wearnes is no longer authorized bmw unless the one in JB
