Custom ordering negotiations
#2
When one custom orders any vehicle, there is no obligation to purchase it. If you don't like the deal, you can always walk away. Theoretically, you have the same leverage to negotiate as you would buying off the lot. However, it's often easier to negotiate a deeper discount off something in stock because a dealer is frequently incentivized to move something that's been sitting in inventory for awhile.

I did not negotiate a discount on mine. I got the JCNA discount, but that was it. I decided exactly what I wanted, deemed the MSRP acceptable, and placed the order. It would have taken extraordinary circumstances to make me walk away from the car at that point. To be fair, I hate negotiating. Some people enjoy it, but it sucks the life out of me. The only negotiation I did was on the financing. I told them that they needed to lower the interest rate or I'd finance through my own sources. They did.

Thank you for the replies.
Thinking F Type Coupe in the next year or two.
Would be first big car purchase so the concept of that amount of money is still hard to swallow
Just had to unload my 03 Escape with 123k on it. Took my wife's Matrix 09 (given to us by her mom) with 77k on it. Got her a Volvo XC60 2016, but that had 0% financing so easier to swallow.

I was able to get 7% off MSRP ($7,700), plus JCNA $2,500. My local dealer then offered $8,500 off (originally was $5k off) but I stayed with first one since I did not want to punish them for a very good first offer while rewarding the lesser local dealer. My philosophy is send out a request for exactly what I want with explicit instructions that they have one chance to provide best price and that is who I will buy from. Works well and eliminates any haggling.

I ordered mine in 2013 before F-types were shipping, and before anyone outside Jaguar had driven one. Didn't even try to negotiate.

I got about 4% off when I ordered 10/30/14. Left the factory 1/14/15 and delivered 2/20/15. Day of delivery dealer offered to let me out of the deal no problem if I wanted to order a manual 2016. He had buyers for my V6S. I said "no way" and took my car with delivery miles on it. Longest 133 days of my life.
Dealer has called me and told me he would be delighted to have me trade it in 3 years, they expect strong used demand. Maybe I'll get the MT then....
