So my current dealer I'm leasing through is an Autonation dealership and this is the first I've heard something negative about Autonation. Should I seriously consider looking at another non-Autonation dealer for my next lease?
Seems hard for me to believe this makes a difference since its BMW at the end of the day.

It’s like carmax on really polished steroids. I have dealt with several AN dealerships in Texas. On both occasions the dealerships (both bmw stores) made it clear they cared far more for autonation than they did for BMW. Their business model is supposed to be different for new car sales, but nothing I’ve seen has made me believe that. They will not hesitate to move cars if they don’t sell, this gives them the upper hand in any negotiation. That being said they specialize in taking advantage of a never ending supply of ignorant or desperate consumers. They have truly become a monster in car sales...don’t allow yourself to become one of their latest snacks. Companies like Autonation are ruining the opportunity for great deals on cars like these. You can do way better...walk away
