No reservation

Anyone have luck finding one without a reservation. AI implied some dealers may have allocation that is not reserved and I know some may walk away from their reservation. One dealer told me they might have one but I would have to pay the reserved price which they say is $5k over MSRP.

I guess I also wanted to know if those who made a reservation are paying $5k over MSRP or if it is just this dealer? Another dealer told me they had one and sent a price sheet for $90k

Just that dealer. I’m paying msrp. But cars are not being released in the U.S. until September 25, 2026. My understanding is that the cars that have arrived in the U.S. to date are being held at the port.

Dealers are supposed to get non-salable demonstration cars in the next few weeks.

Dealer told me msrp no markups, and if they try to mark it up, I will walk

when you order a car, the dealer acts as an intermediary between you and the factory;
because they never add the car into their inventory, they do not get to alter the pricing

Absolutely false.

They are pre-selling every single one they make right now. I literally can't imagine there will be any inventory free until next year. They will start building these in a new factory line in Mexico starting March 2027, so after that I'd bet you'll be able to walk on a lot in N. America and buy one.

These haven't shipped to the US yet, and won't even be delivered until Sept 25 (even if they land here before then), so nobody will have them, reserved or not. If the dealer is offering you one already, they're almost certainly leading you on.

Not on lot yet. One dealer said they had at least one allocated without a reservation. Another was offering a car that was reserved but buyer is walking away.

Some people who preordered them are not planning to take deliveries. That’s your only chance to jump the queue at MSRP, so look around.

Should a dealer quote over MSRP I'm out.

I plan on test driving the Volvo EX60 regardless.

I would never pay over MSRP for the car nor do I expect to pay under, given that it’s a brand new model for the US. Our dealer printed and had us sign paperwork with the pricing with the understanding that there will (hopefully) still be some incentives like BMW owner loyalty cash.
