I went to the dealership to order an X5 BMW. I knew in the current market that I would have to pay MSRP. I did not have a problem with this. However, I was told I would have to pay $1,000 over MSRP if I did not provide a trade-in and another $1,000 if I did not finance the vehicle. Subsequently, the dealership offered me $10,000 less for my trade-in than both Kelly Blue Book and Carvana offered for my car. I told them this was inadequate and showed them both offers. The salesman then explained that Carvana was a national company and they were a rural dealership and could not match the offer. I found this amusing since BMW is a global brand. I then tried to leave and asked for the keys back to my car. The general manager had the keys and was unavailable. I felt like I was being held, hostage. I will never go back to this dealership again.
