When I ordered an M3 Competition XDrive from Flemington BMW, I was told I would receive a $66,600.00 trade-in for my 2023 Audi RS5. I questioned the trade in value they offered, as I was told it would take BMW, I was told I would receive a $66,600.00 trade-in for my 2023 Audi RS5. I questioned the trade in value they offered, as I was told it would take 3+ months for the new car to arrive. I was told to keep the additional mile age low and as long as there were no accidents, I would get the promised amount. When the car arrived on March 25, 2025, they made me wait for about 30 minutes before I was to meet with the Business Manager. I saw her and asked what the holdup was and she told me they were working on the trade value. I mentioned that 4 months I waited, I only added 1,500 mikes and of course did not have an accident. It should have been a no brainer for them to finish the sales process. After 20 or so minutes, the salesman came back and said they could only give me $62,400.00 for the Audi. In my opinion, they knew they wouldn't be giving me the $66,500.00 trade-in from the beginning. When I wrote up purchase agreement, they did write in that if they didn't give me the $66,500.00 which was stated as a part of the agreement, they would refund my $13,500.00 deposit after they sold the car. While I don't think it will take that long for the car to sell, I texted the salesman I was working with if he could encourage the dealership to refund my deposit right away. He replied stating I signed the agreement knowing it would be reappraised and therefore my deposit won't be returned until they sell the car. at the end of the day, a great experience, buying my first BMW was a very disappointing ordeal.
