Hi

I am looking to buy a new RT LE and would like to know what discounts, if any, can generally be expected at UK dealers.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

+1 Agree. BMW seem to be doing very well at the moment selling bikes in the UK. I believe last year was their best to date. So from this I guess cash discounts are going to be hard to get. However they normally will haggle over accessories. Sometimes they do deals like free satnav. Good luck.

Thanks Guys,

Your responses are appreciated

Levisp is correct, and demand is probably outstripping supply at the moment so cash discounts will be very hard to find. On the upside this helps second hand prices for us all. If you have one to trade in trade hard and see if they will part with any extras or at least discount them. Best of luck.

I traded my Tiger XC 2012 fully loaded for my LE and got a good price, but I had to fight hard for it.  The bit I felt uncomfortable with was the dealer whose bikes I test rode would not budge on his price and two dealers elsewhere without even seeing my bike offered above trade price for what I was buying. I really did not feel good about myself for a couple of weeks. It's a shame really as you begin to build a good relationship with a salesman whose working hard for his money and their bosses who think there's always some "schmuck" who will except their deal. Be less principled about how you purchase the bike as they will get enough out of you as time goes on.  :vader:
