This does not apply to the FL5, as long there hasn’t been major a refresh or update between model years most enthusiasts don’t care about the year. There’ll be zero difference between MY23 & MY24 so ADMs will still be applied to both model years.
Makes sense because Midwest is pretty much the slowest to get allocations versus the coasts, so there’s fewer for sale in the region. For example, my dealership got my car in mid Feb (first allocation). They just got their 2nd allocation last week.
I have to respectfully disagree with your assessment here. It's crucial to emphasize that many enthusiasts, myself included, indeed place great importance on the differentiation between the 2023 and 2024 models. Even if there's no officially confirmed change between the two years (which, by the way, is still speculative at this point), I'd unquestionably opt for the 2024 model over the 2023 if both come with a $5k ADM, simply because it's the newer option.
Let's clarify that I never suggested or implied that dealers would be 'giving it away,' nor did I insinuate that ADM would miraculously disappear. You may want to re-read the post you were replying to and pay closer attention to what was written.
yah, CA is harder, but if you can wait, there is still the end-of-year financial goals that some of these dealers want/need to make. With so many more cars coming in, AND each sale is taking one more buyer off the market... there is a huge chance you can get a great deal in November/December.
No one said 'no' ADMs... but we have had some people from CA and other normally high-price markets, post here lately that they have scored with only 3-5k ADMs. Multiple people. But, it's been happening for sure.
Interesting, was this in SoCal or NorCal? I got at email offer from a Honda dealer at 52,100 without any negotiation. They would be willing to do 51,000 on the spot when I went in and would do 50,500 if I financed through them. This was just this week. Also had another offer of 51k last month on a CW.
