MSRP PLUS OR MINUS

Full MSRP is the going rate. It’s possible as capacity changes discounts may become available but right now the dealers are ordering for cars to be delivered 6-9 months out on the ix50. The Ix 60 is more readily available and may be subject to some negotiation. I have heard some dealers putting on bullshit protection package or anti theft etchings for additional markup. My dealer did not do this. Watch out for lowball number if you have a trade.

Just curious how much people are paying for the IX. I live near LA and I am getting mine from the BMW dealer in Camarillo. I am told that I have to play full MSRP. There are no discounts whatsoever. $7,500 in tax credits are still available when you file your federal tax return. Does anyone know about any other rebates or discounts out there ?

We're all lucky to find a dealer not trying to mark up from MSRP. When people are literally waiting half a year for their custom-ordered cars, there are plenty of people who will bid above MSRP for anything on a lot. I pre-ordered 7/1/2021, put in my order 11/15/21, and my car left port in Germany end of June, so mid-August? 9 months seems pretty on the mark.

A couple of months ago when I was complaining to my dealer about the auto-trunk release option delete (chip shortage), he said that if I cancel my pre-order, there's a huge waiting list of people happy to pay $5k-10k over MSRP to take my spot. With the shorter wait on the iX60, I'm sure this is less true now, but yeah I would just say finance the iX50 at MSRP and take the $7500 credit before the powers that be cap the MSRP limit on that Federal EV credit and we don't get it at all.

I lucked into a canceled order. The dealership that I worked with did not charge above MSRP. I did not even bother haggling. They gave me a decent offer on my trade-in although they are listing it for about $6000 more so probably could’ve gotten another one to $2000 more on the trade-in. I was just happy to get this car because I also am worried about the EV credit change. For comparison purposes, I was also trying to get either an Ioniq five or another Mach E, and multiple dealers are between $5,000 to 18% above the MSRP. The lowest I found for an available EV was $3,500 plus the dealer’s appearance package. For this iX, I did pay for an appearance protection package at $800 that I didn’t mind because it covers tears, and paint damage.

You’re not kidding with them lowballing the trade. They wanted offer me $18k , then $20k. I was going to walk away from the deal but they finally offered $22k. My trading was worth $25k and I could have got more if I sold it privately but I didn’t want the hassle. I paid MSRP for the e vehicle
