I vigorously beg to differ on margins being squeezed across the board. That is a big line of bull that dealers are feeding consumers right now. Don't take my word for it, look at the financial statements, earnings releases, and stock prices of the dealer conglomerates that have been giddy with...

BaT charges buyers a 5% premium on top of the ending bid. BW4 is now offered at MSRP at many dealers so the bid wasn't that far from market.

I'm in CA and feel fine with my neighbors offsetting my carbon footprint

Yes, that was a typo. I've corrected

The first, second, and third gen regular CTS were all produced for 6 model years. With the CT4 and CT5 both having started in 2020, I'd bet 2025 will be the last year for both cars as well as both Vs and BWs. What is less clear is what production volumes will be. Most other V cars had...

As @jbawden stated, people should do what works for them. I'm a bit old school and view business through the lens of an ongoing relationship that is built on trust. That means doing things ethically and making reasonable margins (not charging the very highest price possible simply because you...

Fremont Cadillac wanted 25k over MSRP for a BW4 a few months back that looked like it required some corrective paint work. When I see a dealer that greedy I just write them off as a place to never do business with regardless of whether or not their pricing one day comes back down to earth. The...

Yup. Digital is an important channel and the brand website shows prices for 2023 on the main link then the configuration link shows 2022 prices, options and colors. That is mind-numbingly stupid and even more crazy since production of 2022s ceased nearly 2 months ago. If you're watching this...

Sounds like 3 dealers who gave you an answer before they did their homework.

I get it but if you serialized every year from and including 1902 through and including 2022 you get 121 cars and we're now in 2023 which isn't on the list so we're through those all as anniversaries

That would still technically make it 121 model years as both 1903 and 2023 would be in the count.

There doesn't appear to be a shortage of available BW5s for sale used. I see 47 available nationally right now and prices have come down quite a bit on the used ones the past few months (10-15k). I think getting a well equipped 22' used for around the MSRP of a 23' new should be doable even if...

I agree they could and likely would get things wrong. However, silence is worse than giving estimates which may again need to be revised. The number 1 rule for resolving a bungled customer experience is communication. Communcation about what happened and what steps are in place to...

I looked on the tracker and saw my TPW is still the week of 8/8. Then afterwards, imagined I had my car and said Vroom, Vroom.

Well said. I'll also add that while I am buying the 6MT, I am thankful for those who purchased this wonderful car in the 10A. Without their purchases my and every other 6MT buyer's cars would not exist. I seriously doubt GM could have made the case to build either the BW4 or the BW5 absent the...

Got my song ready all I need now is the car...

Congrats @Rift6SpdBW, hope to see pics soon. I on the other hand am receiving the deluxe goat rodeo experience. Unlike Spring Mountain experience, one doesn't need to register for this, it just gets randomly assigned. Like your experience, it includes missing an allocation for 2022 and having...

I was thinking this would have made a great emblem.

Seems like a perfect opportunity for a dealer to step up and offer ceramic coating of the key fobs as a mandatory $10,000 value added service

I'm sure anyone who experiences this sort of treatment will fully support financial support/bailouts for dealers during the next major economic shock which impacts the industry. Also, I don't know why anyone in their right mind would support direct sales from manufacturers to the consumer. As...
