Thought I would start a thread on the types of discounts you can get for a Mercedes since I've been doing some research.




So obviously, you have the MSRP for the vehicle. On top of this, you can get the following discounts:




1) Negotiated Dealer Discount. Always look at invoice pricing
2) The "C" Launch event discount of $500
3) Fleet Discount (if your company has something with MB) $500-?
4) USAA Discount Incentive. Pen Fed has something similar $2500 - ?
5) MBCA (but need to be a member for 12 months at least): $500
6) Bonus cash events (Winter special now) $2k-?
7) Hidden Bonus Cash that MB gives to dealers up to $3k


Other things to consider: $2.5k below invoice is the extra profit of dealers and there may also be a MB regional fee for the vehicle.




Please let me know if anyone else has any hints or if anything else is wrong here.


Let's all get the best deals we can! Be informed!

Umm...that's what we've been doing here https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...challenge.html

I'm looking for the different types of discounts because it all seemed confusing for a newbie like me. Are there any other types.




That other forum got a bit out of hand with people telling us how much discount they got. Which is good, but I wanted to know if there were any other types of discounts from what I had listed above and if some of the numbers were off./

Thanks for the posting!!
I just spoke to my local dealer today, and they have a C400 that are being built in the first decade December. The MSRP is at 55785.
After negotiating, they offered me 49921. BTW, I am not qualified fleet discount or USAA discount.

Do you think I should accept the offer?
Thanks!!

Penfed incentive requires a year membership before qualifying. I just joined and that incentive will have to be for the next car as I don't see myself waiting a year.

This thread is useful...the price/discount thread has a lot of useful info in it, but takes a lot of filtering through it.

If we can keep this thread to just this info, rather than prices, it would be a good one.

Also, if any Canadians have tips like this they can add, please do

For now, I found out that some accounting organizations and the Bar association get an additional $500-750 for their members as a discount on the C. Supposed to be up to ~$1750, if I'm not mistaken, but I don't know of any other organizations nor their discounts...

USAA, PenFed, United premiere Mileage Plus, AMA, ADA, ABA all have some discount

That's almost an 11% discount which is in line with what we've been seeing, although you may be able to do better if you push. They sell far fewer c400s than c300s.
