Wondering what people are seeing in terms of actual final negotiated price on 2017 models. MSRP only or if discounted, by what percentage from MSRP?

Tnx!

I had my fair share of "first off the boat" AMGs and never even thought to ask about a discount. In SoCal these move pretty fast.

Paid sticker for the first 2017 GTS from MB Laguna Niguel.
Took it out today. Didn't end well....

These were also "first off the boat" AMGs. Still have them all....

Freefall" Is the picture with the Popo for real i.e. did you really get arrested? I hope not. Care to share what happened?
Seems like the dealers in Florida are not discounting much if at all.
I was able to negotiate a discount to my satisfaction.

CHP looks like he's grinning. Give me a PM if this happens for real in the Atl.

Deal on my 17 was great as well. It's this damn wait that Suks.

Emeric. Sent you a PM.

The market always determines price. When the cars are moving briskly - or at least at a rate commensurate with their allocation, dealers are much less prone to discount...because if you don't buy it someone else will. In areas where they have a hard time moving them (economy or whatever) they are most anxious to cut a skinny deal - "move the iron"

Those who are successful in grinding the dealer down are dealing with dealers who are happy to be ground down so that they can move that anchor. Often one does better with dealers in outlying areas.

I am getting 4% off MSRP on build to spec 17 GT in N CA. Was hoping for better.... Happy to drive to SoCal. Any ideas?

Unless you are willing to wait for a future allocation (my dealer can do better), your best bet to beat that number is find one online that meets your specs the closest.

I was running a Canyon and a the top I wanted to stop and chill and take some pics. Two LA motorcycle cop (this was OC) were hanging out and smoking cigars. turns out they both tracked bikes at the same tracks I do so after talking cars and track for a half hours we were like...let's **** with my wife....lol.

I agree. I was once told that 60% of the AMGs sold in the US are sold from Laguna Niguel and Newport Beach. Demand is so high that they don't need to discount. Plus, with the service they provide, I wouldn't even ask. They deliver to my house and we do the paper work here. I can show up there unannounced and be on my way with a loaner within 5 minutes. If you can afford a 100K car does 5% off sicker really matter all that much? Just my opinion. I know rich dudes who negotiate like its a sport. Id rather my sales guy make full commission.

Negotiating is part of the process and yes 7k is a big deal. That savings pays for the Xpel..

Or some HRE.....

This is the correct answer

ordered a '17 GT and agreed on 5.6% off sticker (weird percentage but came out to an even number). should hit the dealer by mid november.

Gfunk808

Sounds like you negotiated pretty well, as my understanding is that leaves them only one percentage point of profit above invoice…

I luv you guys that pay MRSP (plenty where I live) as it permits my dealer to sell me one at double digit discount off MRSP .
I do personally reward my sales guy and the owner of the dealership.
This savings will pay for wheels, pipes, tune, downpipes, sleeves, etc .

Another 911 GT3rs with a wing sighting today with a couple of Ducati guys today. As it rounded the corner they looked at me as if it was some kind of mistake.

I assured them it was a real live street/race car and they shook heads....Great green color.

I Say this because dealers are asking to pay north of MSRP on limited 911s. And that's what brought me to this car at 1/2 price of SLS.

Now if I can just wrap my brain around $$ of a brushed clear P101 on my black/black GT ...

I really think it depends on where you live because I'm telling you that these cars move like crazy in SoCal. Live in NY for 30 years. Long Island to be exact seeing a 100K car on the road was pretty rare. Still is and I visit Old Bethpage pretty often. The real money for the dealerships is in service anyway so I get why some can get something off sticker in areas where they aren't selling these cars weekly. In Laguna and Newport there isn't a single day where I don't see Lambos, Ferraris, McLarens and AMGs on a daily basis. As far as HRE goes we just go to the factory...lol.

Order from HRE direct?
