Would you expect a price for a car in stock at dealer to be more / less than ordering equivalent, I'm talking about something not too common e.g. 4 series GC, as opposed to something more common like 116' s which they often have loads of in stock.

Also a reduction if registering this month before plate change ?

Guess it depends on options, deals is it pre registered etc and so do you get a higher apr if on pcp etc?

I was looking at pre reg cars initially but the higher pcp apr rates and deals that could be had meant I was better off buying new. I would certainly want to pay less on a pre reg car compared to a new order.

Car is new and unregistered, so I would be first owner, but dealer keen on sale this month.

Only negative is not having new car feeling with laterst plate in 3 weeks ? and trade in value of mine less next month ?

I'd be amazed if a BMW dealer hasn't hit his pre plate change numbers well before this time.

As you say, negatives are no new car feeling and future value. Only you can place a value that. Me - I would wait. There will always be a deal next month.

Go elsewhere, you will still get a great deal, were are you based?.

Really? we bought my wife's car on 13th Dec as a stock car (sort of - someone else's soon to be delivered stock) and had it registered in Dec - got a stunning deal compared to the norm on Minis at that time as they clearly hadnt hit their quarter targets....

You may get an even better deal late in March - and the new car feel too - but you run the risk of everyone wandering in when new regs are released and taking pick of the stock cars...
