Discounts on the new LC

[Kintessack GSr]

Ok all you guys that have ordered the new LC, what discounts if any did you manage to get on bike or accessories and from where. I have a mate looking to trade his multistrada for the LC thought it would be interesting to find out. Awaiting incoming fire.......

Your question has to be about the current market situation so the answere has to come from recent orders.

Given the short term availability is good there must be incentives out there, ignore the can't be possible crowd as they have made their mind up......these are scary time for dealers and they need to make a turn.

Hard Hats on, hand granades incoming.......woweee!

Your mate will undoubtedly get a better deal if he sells the Multistrada privately first

I'm sure he's a big boy and can negotiate his own deal. What others have had is irrelevant as each deal is based on individual circumstances

I'm keeping quiet for the time being, it amuses me what deals others are getting

I heard £5k

 

[Kintessack GSr]

Just waiting for nutty to come along and say he got 4k off

 

[Kintessack GSr]

5k you are the man!

 

[JohnnyBoxer]

I heard £5k

I heard if you had enough cash to pay £210 for the 600 mile service, then they'd throw the bike in for free

As a sweetener

Ok, ok I'll come clean. BMW wrote to me and offered me the bike for 100% discount, and they'll give me £10k as long as I promise to put the right oil in and report my findings on here

im usually quite good at getting a deal, always did well in the past but couldnt get nothing, sweet FA i tried 2 dealers got the same response both dealers told me the same thing..they can't discount the new lc

Dream on JB or are you just winding the feckers up

..... both dealers told me the same thing..they can't discount the new lc

With less than 10% for the dealers from BMW I'm not surprised. They can sell what they can get, so why discount?

Any deals will be negotiated with servicing, extras, farkles or clothing .... maybe

Looking at a few other threads discounting will start, currently you could walk in, order bike and have it by the end of March, so unless the formal launch and first test rides produce a huge up surge in orders I can not see that changing.

BMW are like any other manufacturer they need sales, obvious by the pricing of the new bike basically the same as the out going bike.

If discounts don't start they'll start throwing in panniers etc for free as they did with the out going bike.

Unfortunately for BMW the out going bike was pretty good at what it did/does and in the current financial climate not everybody that has the current bike is going to rush to update.

Obviously there are the few that must have the latest bike/model, quite a number on here, but they are leaving behind bikes that are frankly unused in GS terms at very good prices considering the equipment they come with.

So any one with any sense would buy a late 2012 bike and save a small fortune let the beta testers try out the WC and jump in when the ADV model is launched in 18month to 2 years time.
