Thank you for this infoā¦ I feel like Iām not getting the best deal from what Iāve seen on this site and elsewhere. My guide supposedly sent my info to the finance team to review my concerns but they said everything is normal.
$200 EV fee? You must be in Ohio....My only complaint is they wouldn't capitalize the sales tax and fees as would have been beneficial with an effectively zero interest rate. It is common practice for dealers in my state but Rivian acted like they'd never heard of such a thing.
First they gave me the crossbars to get me to move my delivery to March from April 2, then I said I wasn't happy with the trade-in offer, and I was a couple thousand off where I wanted to be. They offered to cover the paint cost.
Guides are essentially useless for negotiating price. Iāve found that the only person giving discounts is the sales person. The trick is, donāt select one from inventory initially. Put the deposit down and then theyāll call you to determine interest in a local in stock configuration. From there, theyāll offer discounts if the configuration isnāt exactly as you intended. Iām getting upgraded 22 inch wheels on mine. YMMV.
Find the number for your local delivery center that is doing the delivery. They respond.I've completed the entire lease purchase process and made payment as of 3/26 for an R1T out of the shop. My delivery date was automatically scheduled for April 5th in Metro Detroit. I tried texting my assigned guide to see if I can take delivery any sooner, but I have not heard from her and its been 48 hours. I tried chatting with the support and they told me I would have to speak to my guide. How have you all been getting such good communication with folks at Rivian and I can't even get a response?
Being able to snatch up a lease on a ā23 is a deal in itself. When you look at how they were able to bring down the monthly (thousands saved on MF etc.) itās more than a better deal than getting a $1-2k discount on wheels IMO. Plus, and others correct me if Iām wrong, those extra incentives were for people who had a build but were encouraged to choose one from inventory instead of waiting to help with their overall quarterly deliveries. So if that didnāt apply to you, those incentives were not offered through the sales department.
Ask them for the Money factor number and then multiply that by 2400 to get the effective interest rate
Same for me. I pushed and was told no. but then my guide was pretty worthless, days sometimes to get answers to questions.
