The entire western region is getting twenty C63 BS coupes in 2012. The House of Imports is getting one of them and we are expecting delivery late June. The dealership is not taking deposits and the prices have yet to be released. We can build it to your exact specifications with a $20k deposit. As the pricing information becomes available I will update this thread.

Are you saying HOI is not taking deposit or are you saying that all of southern Cali MB dealers are not taking deposit?

$20k deposit? Holy smokes!

Dbae1978

that's correct, HOI is not taking deposits on the vehicle. there are only 21 BS Coupes coming to all the western region. ie: washington, oregon, california, arizona, etc.

I have heard that some AMG dealer centres are already asking for a 20K premium on the car in the USA.

Anyone who pays that is on some good drugs lol.

..or sells 'em.

Unfortunately all BS will have a $20k dealer markup. I don't make the rules....

My dealership is willing to take a downpayment and sell me the car at MSRP. not a dollar over.

Most-Wanted

Mine too. Not sure what he's talking about. Ive never heard of MB damanding dealers to price gouge with a" MARKET AVAILABILITY" premium.

amg4rl

Since when is gouging by charging 20k over MSRP considered "the rules"!

justthebest

Yea... No.

I have found two allocations - both MSRP with a normal deposit.

Were so I can place my order. I will pay MSRP!!! I've been trying for one in michgan, no luck. I put down a deposit for a coupe amg, i will gladly cancel if I can get one.

In Canada, I tried to check out how the allocation is... couldn't even get my hands near one.... =(

_AMG_

Or has alot of cash laying around.
MB dealers had a crazy markup like this on the CLK 63 Black Series.

sorry man u're asking for trouble. i don't except all dealers to be the same as u're but u're straight out lying. sorry to point out the obvious...

ur dealership accepted deposit from my friend. he's inline for one, even though he figured out 1. u guys will not get that many cars. 2. u guys will most likely be asking a premium over msrp. this thread just confirmed no.2 i guess?

just to clarify, not all dealerships are like u guys. there are some good ones out there. i don't blame u guys marking up the car if it's that rare & there's a market for it. but to come out to public saying that out loud is just dumb...

not sure who came up the name Black Series. too bad some dealers can make up some real BS. lol.

20C4S

dealer is not taking deposit. and ''you'' are taking 20k deposit? are u planning to pocket the 20k?

btw, all price & options are final on the BS. it's available now.

You're making your dealership look bad. If I was the owner of your dealership, I'd say "You're fired!" Ridiculous post.

AMG Dictator

What a joke.

20C4S

i hope this is not a management's idea. if not, should be a piece of cake to find the sales guy who drives both M5 & E63.

Kaiba

I don't understand why you guys are so upset about this deposit ?

In France , I had to give a 30K EUR deposit = 40K USD.
And that was 2 months before we even have the final base price.

Exclusivity = more money.

AlsAMG

We're not upset because he wants a deposit. He's assuming that all MB dealers are going to mark up $20K which is not the case and then, he goes on to say that his dealership doesn't take deposit on the BS but wants $20K. Huh? WTF?

This is the biggest disapointment for Mercedes as a company for not screening dealerships. I was in route to order a black series through a friend in michigan. He was the best person to work with, I know for sure he tried to get one alocated for me. The general manger of the many dealerships he owns works for the mercedes design board of 12 members. He called, telling me that the Northen part or section of the U.S is getting only three or four allocations. I had to go through a screening, VIP and a memo from the owner and myself why I desire a car of this caliber. They were not able due to the fact I was late in the process. The reason why they go through this process is too weed out the flippers and the price jackers. It's a prevelige, if you had a black series before it is easier to get another. The dealership should get it's franchise permit revoked, I will tell you this and to the dealership I will pay 40k over pruimum and I hope I draw national attention to this. Bring it to me, I'll bite..... P.M. me.

These cars are going to go to the highest bidders like every other limited production car

If you think you're gonna just walk into any dealership and pick up one of these for MSRP when you don't even know what MSRP is, then you might be smoking the devils lettuce

People with good connections will get one. Othet People's allocations will get bumped for customers who will pay a premium. It happened with the SLS and the SL65 BLACK and CLK63 BLACK and it will happen with this

SL65 Blacks were going for $325k ++ when they came out. People were willing to pay $150k ++ for the M3 GTS without hesitation

Prices and allocations are subject to change without notice


Just being real about it

There's just to much bad business going on. Even dealerships acknowledge its wrong lambs, Ferrari 's and other exotics don't do this . It's just proper. Jmo.. I'll pass on a bs.... It's not even xotic.

AlbertM

My dealer in NY is doing no such thing. I placed an order for C63 BS at MSRP with 1K deposit.
