Questions to Ask a BMW Sales Associate
No matter if you’re a first-time car buyer or a long-time customer at Serra BMW of Champaign, every car-buying experience is different. This means you’ll always have questions during the purchase process, which our BMW sales team is happy to answer. Here are some of the more common questions asked at our dealership.
Can I Take the Car for a Test Drive?
Before you buy a new BMW vehicle, you’ll want to get firsthand experience behind the wheel. Only a test drive can help you decide whether you find the car comfortable enough and whether you like the way it drives. Be sure to drive it on local roads and on the highway so you can evaluate its acceleration, braking power, and handling under different conditions.
What Is the Out-the-Door Price?
While you’ll no doubt have a monthly payment in mind that you’re comfortable with, you should also be aware of the vehicle’s out-the-door (OTD) price. This includes additional fees such as dealer service and handling fees as well as taxes, title, and licensing. Serra BMW of Champaign will give you a detailed breakdown of these costs before you sign a contract.
What Rebates or Offers Are Available?
Like many car dealers, we offer financing offers and BMW lease deals as a way to attract customers and sell more vehicles. These offers could include 0% APR financing, or cash back. These deals typically change on a monthly basis, and certain deals may be restricted to a certain type of model or a particularly high credit score — just ask a sales associate if any rebates are available on the type of car you’re interested in.
Do You Have the Car I Want in Stock?
Worldwide supply chain shortages mean that certain models — especially those with a specific paint color or upgraded engine — could take several months for delivery. Before you spend too much time devising your dream car, make sure it’s something we can do within the timeframe you want. If it isn’t, there are definitely other options we can explore.
