Hi All

I'm ready to take the plunge and purchase the Stinger GT, tossing up if I should wait for the MY19 or buy the MY18 now.

Apparently the MY19 will be slightly more expensive or have less bargaining power, Michelin tyres and a Stainless Steel luggage pallet.

Appreciate peoples thoughts

Thanks

Dyll
 
Buy now and enjoy earlier.

Hi Shannon I'm currently driving a 335i pushing out 550hp on 24psi, so funnily enough I'm actually going to enjoy it less until I carry out a few mods.

The BMW has finished its lease so time to go but no major hurry

Do a deal on an MY18 runout model, maybe more bang for your buck.

I would get a 2018, sounds like car prices might go up with all this “tariff” war that’s going on.

That’s what I was thinking what do you think is a good deal on A GT around 60k ?
GT 60k driveaway? Get them to throw in floor mats, rear cargo mat & premium window tint drive away for 58k for starters see how you go. Are you trading?
 
Thanks mate I’m at 61k atm but working on lowering a bit more with mats, plan to sell mine private
Well no trade will give you more leverage on your purchase price, dealer cannot fudge the figures hidden in that. Set yourself a limit & be prepared to walk away, remember there are plenty of dealers to take your cash.

Check to see if there are rebates in Australia. In the US it is not unusual to see large purchase and lease rebates. Some as high as $7k - $8k. including dealer discounts.

at $61k your around 10% cheaper than what us early adopters paid last year and all had to wait 4 or 5 months for delivery.

Anything near 60k with a shorter delivery just get it and enjoy it now, that a great deal.

I took the plunge Yesterday and committed. Thank you everyone and big thanks to Stinger GT SS. The car is ready in 2 weeks which is a April 2018 build. :);)

What did you end up paying D-C if you don't mind me asking? I'm looking at biting the bullet in the next few days myself.
