    2023 Raptor 35 For Sale In Houston - Oxford White, Purchased February 3rd

    I'm not a dealership owner nor a family member. I buy 1-3 BMWs/year and I'm good friends with the GM and have built relationships with many people at the dealership. This is a simple transaction if you know what you're doing and the dealership is open to it. You can ask @blancax3 about his...

    That can definitely be arranged. I'm also buying a i7 so the BMW dealer can take your M550i on trade as well. The M550i is a great platform, baby M5 in terms of power!

    2023 Raptor 35 For Sale In Houston - Oxford White, Purchased February 3rd

    Dealers will sometimes charge an "in and out" fee but if you have a relationship it's minimal, $500 is what I paid a couple of years ago when I did it. It gives them an opportunity to move a unit through finance which can mean making money on the loan or any warranties/products they can sell. At...

    The plan is to trade into the dealer The transaction will be an in and out through the dealer, the buyer gets the benefit if easy financing if necessary (or can bring their own) and I get to keep the tax credit.

    I would run the sale through the dealer to offset the taxes.

    Thanks very much! Most credit unions offer the same rates on 2022-2023 vehicles whether they are new or "used". I refinanced my wife's 2023 Range Rover with Smart Financial Credit Union last month at 2.99 for 72 months, sure beats the dealer and their 7.25% rate! For anyone interested, Smart...

    I'm waiting on the trade value from the dealer (2 dealers actually) but I have a feeling I'll be better off selling privately to someone who has been looking for essentially a brand new truck and can buy it at or below MSRP.

    2023 Raptor 35 For Sale In Houston - Oxford White, Purchased February 3rd

    Hello FRF, thank you for being an awesome group, I have learned so much over the past 6 months from this forum! I purchased a 2023 Oxford White Raptor last week as I didn't think my Raptor R that I ordered was ever coming in. Well as luck would have it, my R will be here in less than a month...
