- BMW 6-Series convertible
Hello all,
I am new to this forum as I am not a Mercedes owner as yet but desperately trying to get there. I did try three years ago and three years before that but having owned BMW's for the last 25 years either as company cars or through PCP's, it seems to be a struggle to find competitive pricing from Mercedes as BMW seem to come out way on top everytime.
My current 6 series convertible is due to change in October and I always said that I would love to get in to an SL but the pricing difference for pcp's between the SL and the 6-series vert is comparable to night and day. 2 and a half years ago, I paid £5,700 with monthly payments of £700 for the big six but I cant get anywhere near that for an SL. Prices from a third party are closer - obviously because they can buy the car at a heavily discounted rate and lease it on to me at the reduced cost but I have always preferred to work directly with dealers. Its a shame that Mercedes can't offer the same discounts for a pcp that they do for a cash sale.
I shall persevere as I have a little time. I am somewhat reluctant to order another 6 series as this one of mine has been a complete dog with constant component failure and it would be nice to switch to the three pointed star
Anyway I thought I would say hello and its nice to meet you all
