Yeah, I tried using that as a basis of my argument, but the sales manager still kept to his "special ordered RWD" theory as his defense. Friggin' sales people and their tactics! haha!

From this link: Since there is no provision for a "cooling off" period in Ontario's law, if you want to cancel a vehicle purchase agreement the dealer is entitled to claim "liquidated damages" and retain a part – or all – of your deposit. Liquidated damages arise from the expenses the dealer might have already incurred in when selling the vehicle to you: e.g. advertising, freight and administrative costs, as well as from the loss of profit resulting from this cancellation. Basically the dealer has to prove in the form of an itemized list the actual liquidated damages incurred by the cancellation. They can't keep the deposit as an arbitrary penalty just because a buyer cancelled an order.

i know how you feel to a degree, my story was was a little different, i odered mid nov for mar delivery(told up front too). just before xmas, our biggest supplier opened another dealer 1.6km from us. when i was told about it, that was the first thing that went through my mind-great just ordered a car and put 2 grand down on it. now, what do i do. it sucks that feeling, not as bad as yours but still has an affect at night. would you dealer release you from the contract if another dealer sold it by then? maybe sweeten the pot by telling sales reps you will give a couple hundred to rep that sells it and gets your deposit back?? |

But anyway ya, It is near impossible to find a car in Canada that isn't Xdrive WITHOUT ordering it. Let alone the fact we can't get the e91 RWD at all! That would have been my first choice.. but noooo. Good luck with the job search and hopefully you'll be in your new car soon. |

+1 to all RWD 3-series being special order. By default all BMW dealerships in Canada will have X-Drives as inventory.
Absolute crap if you ask me. The BMW Salesman I visited today (there are many reasons why) said one reason was to beat out Audi and its Quattro offering. Apparently BMW Sales are through the roof since X-Drive took over (he showed me the sales numbers on his computer) - so X-Drive is here to stay for a long time..... Apparently Audi is also going to get rid of Quattro and are looking to release something to compete with X-drive....(not sure how true that point is.) |

I would bet my right arm that Audi is never getting rid of quattro. There is so much equity in that name, they would be insane to give it up.

Plus Audi getting rid of quattro is like BMW dropping the 'm' He more than likey meant they are redesigning it which I sure x drive will be once Audi brings out new version of theirs. Maybe soon x drive will be as good as a range rover in awd. But the fact remains that BMW Canada hates rwd IMO

The biggest problem is some think awd will stop you faster too.

Do you not have the right to void the contract since the delivery date has been pushed back?...Does it not say on your contract when you will take delivery? Did you agree on paper to the delayed delivery date?
Let's say you refuse to accept the car at the delayed date? I cannot understand why you would lose your deposit in that case. |

The reason the dealer wants to keep the deposit is due to the fact that I have ordered a car to my tastes and nobody will ever buy a 6MT RWD car as most of the sales are X Drive. |

Dealer will lose your business
If they keep your deposit, what are the odds that you will go back to the same dealer for another one once you get back on your feet?
My dealer told me that they wouldn't have any trouble selling mine. It's a 328i RWD loaded with options. I'm about 4 weeks away from delivery. Good Luck! |
