I waited nearly a year, found the right used '18 M2, and paid $49K for it, and got all my money back on the IS (Lexus knows resale, let me tell you).
Well, you can call it "resale" value but then you paid nearly 30% off the original list. That's a crazy discount, but happens when they have to give away inventory no one wants.

On the contrary, why would you not just go to another BMW dealership rather than pay a 14% bump on an M2? Great that you got a deal on a year-old one later but that was only $5k to $7k off on a year-old car, depending on how it was equipped compared to the MSRP on the one you passed on. That's actually pretty good resale value!

Which dealership thought they could get you for a 15% "adjustment"? Plaza? Autohaus? I've been selling BMWs for over 40-years and never had the balls to charge a "market adjustment". And I even bought a car from Autohaus (in 1973) back when Willy called it Webster Auto Service.
