German automakers like BMW, VW, Mercedes, and Porsche are experiencing significant profit declines, with BMW reporting a 36.9% drop. This downturn is largely due to decreased demand in China. Experts suggest that this situation could lead to increased savings for car buyers.
The car market is currently weak, leading manufacturers to prioritize sales volume over price increases.
Mercedes' prices can vary daily, while BMW and Audi offer substantial discounts.
Porsche is more reserved with discounts, but savings are possible on models like the electric Macan.
Experts recommend waiting three to four months before purchasing an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle for potentially lower prices.
Chinese manufacturers offer more affordable electric cars but may depreciate faster.
Discounts on combustion engine vehicles are already high, so waiting may not yield significant savings.
