Not sure why I'm doing this since the purchase is already a foregone conclusion, but what do you guys think about this deal?

Well-optioned new 2021 base BEV (Tera, H/K audio, moonroof, tech/driving assistant, parking assistant, heat pump).

$54k MSRP
$11k PenFed incentive
$4k dealer discount

$39k including all dealer "fees," but before my local taxes/registration, and before the $7,500 federal tax rebate. No local rebates here, sadly; f'ing Illinois actually charges $150 MORE for EV registration supposedly to make up for lost gas tax revenue.

While I'm in a completely different country, prices may still be somewhat comparable.

When I ordered my 2020 i3s last year, it came out at what today is 40.500usd.
That was a pretty fully loaded car, ticked all the boxes except no moon-roof and just the standard interior.

All in all 39.000 does not sound too bad.

Edit: Forgot to say that my price included a BMW campaign discount and an 8% company discount my employer had with BMW.
Total discount was 12.000usd, making the original price 52.500 before discounts.

You're essentially @ dealer invoice aka 7% off (with that dealer discount of 4k).

Considering the car market/climate, I personally think i3's are one of the only cars that BMW is willing to somewhat deal and discount.

Go for it! And that PENFED incentive is fantastic!

That's what the sales person was telling me re: invoice. It's no unicorn $150/month lease (which I never could've gotten since there are no state incentives here), but given that CPO examples from 2019+ are listed at $30k+, this doesn't seem terible. Even after the currently insane used car market corrects itself, I would expect the car to be worth at least $20k 3 years from now, which is still well over half of what I'm paying for it now.
