Ordering via a Broker

Hi - first post so please go easy LaughingLaughing

I'm moving from a BMW 1 series to an Evoque, probably an SD4 auto with LUX pack.

My local dealer is saying no discounts at all, which is fair enough, yet looking on some broker sites they seem to suggest that 3-4k is an achievable discount.

Has anyone successfully managed to get this sort of dicsount?

RE: Ordering via a Broker

Welcome to the forum barneyrubble
We have two brokers as forum sponsors, you could drop them an email and see what they can do. You are more likely to get a discount on a 2013MY than a 2014 but I would also suggest that you take a run around the M25 to High Barnett to Hadley Grange Land Rover who also sponsor the forum. Discounts are widely available but you do have to work to get them. Remember you don't have to take your Evoque to the supplying dealer for servicing so often travelling a bit can result in a better deal than you can get locally to home.

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

Thanks - I may well give them a call. Convenience means that I'm talking to beadles sidcup at the moment as they are a 3 minute walk from home - but going to compare dealers and see what I can get.....

I came from a 123d coupe to the evoque,it was easy to get the wife onside-just wait for the first snow and ask her to drive the BMW somewhere with even a slight incline,she will come charging home with steam coming from her ears shouting "that cars a death trap in this weather"the rest is history....Very Happy

My order- fuji white sd4 manual coupe,tech pack,xenons,style 6 20's,pano roof,privacy,front fogs,rear camera,folding mirrors,ebony int/ivory headliner,dec delivery.(still waiting!) Collected 14/01/2012
NOW SOLD as of 26/07/14 Very Happy
Now driving Audi SQ5, everything the Evoque should of been.

RE: Ordering via a Broker

The Evoque will work better on winter tyres as well. It doesn't need them but they do give you that little more re-assurance when the going gets tough. The Terrain Response Grass, Gravel and Snow setting completely remaps the engine/ throttle and braking systems to only allow power to go to where the grip is. You want to welly it in deep snow - TR won't let you! In really deep snow though you are better with the DSC switched off as if you are driving in deep mud.........

Thanks, looks like about 20 minutes on the tube from work. Might take an extended lunch this week.

I got a £2k dealers contribution on purchase last week on a 2013 prestige and they threw in the 5 year service pack value £499 and a spare wheel kit. Thought it was a good idea to negotiate in a spare wheel kit.
