What Are Service Loaners or Demo Vehicles?

The Ultimate Driving Machine is right at your fingertips--but you may be shopping on a limited budget, or you

just want to save a few thousand dollars on your purchase. To hit all of the must-haves on your list, you're likely

considering buying a used or Certified Pre-Owned BMW model or something you think is more affordable.
 
But there are a lot of factors that go into buying a used vehicle, and especially a used luxury car: prior service

records, environment, age, mileage, etc. Most of that is out of your hands, and finding the best deal on a pre-owned

vehicle generally comes down to luck.
 
 
What if there was a better way?
 
 
When you explore your options for a competitively-priced service loaner or demonstrator vehicle from Tom Bush BMW,

you could get the performance and luxury you want, at a price that you won't find at just any used-car dealership. Our retired

courtesy loaners offer an excellent opportunity for our clients to drive a new BMW at a significantly reduced price and still receive

new car rates and special discounts.
 
 
 What is a BMW Courtesy Service Loaner or Demonstrator Vehicle?
 
 
BMW Courtesy Service Loaner vehicles--also known as courtesy cars--are dealer-owned models that stay on

the dealership lot and are used exclusively for business purposes, including serving as temporary rentals for

service-center clients whose personal vehicles will be in service for longer than they can afford to wait. 
 
 
BMW Demonstrator vehicles-- are new vehicles that has been driven by dealership salesmen, managers or executives but has

never been registered with the state. A used car is any car that has been registered. 
 


Rule Of Thumb: Once a vehicle has been registered, it is legally considered used.  These vehicles have never

been titled but because they have been driven as a service loaner or demonstrator the manufacture requires

dealers to sell as like new vehicles.
 


Interestingly, loaner car inventories are actually the reason why luxury vehicles--like BMW--have one of the

highest resell rates within 12-18 months of purchase date; but it's because BMW dealers are incentivized to

purchase new vehicles to stock their courtesy vehicle fleets, use them for a period of time as a convenience to

their service customers, and then add them to their own pre-owned inventory.
 
 
 What are the Benefits of Buying a BMW Courtesy Service Loaner or Demo Vehicle?

  • Competitive prices
  • Receive new car rates and special discounts
  • Higher standards of quality
  • Total confidence in your pre-owned BMW


 Luxury vehicles take the largest hit of depreciation within their first 1-3 years of service; if you buy new, you are

responsible for that loss of value. But when you choose to buy a retired service loaner or demonstrator, you avoid

the largest drop in value, and the dealership--not you--takes on the weight of that cost. However, it's worth it to the

dealer to spend a little in order to satisfy their client base.
 
 Our loaner vehicles live on-site at Tom Bush BMW when they're not serving clients. So, when they need an oil change,

tire rotation, detailing, or minor work, our courtesy cars are treated by the expert technicians in our service center. We

are diligent in our performed services, so you never have to worry about whether the used BMW you buy has received

a high quality of care. We hand-select the vehicles that join our loaner car fleet, so you know that you're choosing from

the very best of the very best.
