It could be - we have so many dealers surrounding us, it could simply be more competitive between them.

I'm already getting Emails for "blowout" deals on 2014 E350 Sports. One of which is $549 with about $3,400 drive off. This shows that in pretty quick timing we should see the classic-W212-20+% discounting going on.

They're also advertising an E350 Bluetech for a whopping $299 a month, with a little more drive off than the '14 E350. Never thought I'd see an E priced in the 2's.

For anyone interested, an SL550 priced in the mid $700's with over $6K drive off. Unreal.

K-A, if you'll keep on posting those number, soon CA will become the US as everyone (or at least those who want "cheap" Mercedes) will move there. SL550 for $700? You can not get E550 for that in FL. For SL you're well over $1K here.

K-A

Yes, obviously CA will get the deals (or NY/NJ, anywhere with high population).

The SL550 deal is unreal. $75x a month for a brand new SL550 with $6400-ish drive-off. The "catch" is 7500 miles a year on those (but normal 10K for the E's I listed above) however even then, it's an UNREAL deal for a car that they lists as MSRP for $118K. Simply put you won't see the incentives you see from M-B anywhere else.

That is an unbelievable deal for such a car. No way I could get that here. I would drive a less than attractive SL550 for that price.

It's pretty unbelievable. The same dealership had a deal like this, but it was for a little over $800 a while back, but this one is unlike anything I've seen before on this car.

Unfortunately I don't like the new SL's looks much at all to pay anywhere near MSRP related pricing for it either.... though for this deal, even with that drive-off, it's very enticing. It's really not that much more expensive than what people probably paid for an E550 in 2010 when the body style was new.

Would you mind PM'ing or posting the dealer information and/or sales person's name here? I am very interested because an apparent mechanical noise on my 2013 E350 is a "normal characteristic of the car and is operating as designed" although I know for a fact the 2014 E350 doesn't make the same noise as I test drove one...

K-A

That's such bullcrap! Did you try going to another dealer? I'll send you a PM as I just remembered I forgot to respond to your one about your cars issues.

2006_C350

ya its bull crap, where are you located? Would you also forward your sales contact or dealer for BMW? I might just switch over to BMW...

Thanks in advance!

K-A

Yes will do sorry been on mobile site so haven't been able to send you the jpg email image. I'm in Socal. I got my Bimmer from the owner of Bimmerfest who's awesome. I'll fwd you info.

I am in Orange County myself. I have introduced several of my friends on E350 including Bluetec with dealer in OC. Shop around and tell me. I believe I can get you a deal!! I don't work for dealer in one way or the other.
I have BlueTec and I love it.

Just PM'd info. Not sure where you're located but I overlooked a CLS550 for $549 a month with $4xxx drive off. Unreal pricing as people pay more than that on moderately equipped F10's. Not sure how this dealer gets away with these prices but I get Emails from others with similar deals from time to time (and we're not even in Winter yet). I think the new SL and CLS have been met with very lukewarm to poor reactions relative to their most recent predecessors who were very hyped and revered when they were first launched.

IMO as Mercedes keeps expanding downmarket and dropping prices via exaggerated incentives on such important cars like the E Class, it'll get harder and harder to command $1K leases from cars that aren't an S Class.

This is under cost. My dealer would discount '14 CLS550 to me (as a "special" customer) under 5% ($4K on $82.8K car). Leasing car like this here would be at least 50% more than what you posted. The only explanation I have is that its a one of (one specific car) deal - non P1 car (as in this price range its harder to move as people want all the "staff", personally I would never pay $5K for that P1 "staff", but its a different topic all together).

K-A would you PM me the name of dealer with the SL dealer - very interesting. Thanks

I am currently getting quoted 58408 on MSRP of 64350 with USAA discount on 2014 E350.

I checked my conections on FY14 E350's and the discounts are not much lower than your deal (about $1.2K). If I were you either wait until more discounts (three months) or get it. The invoice for a 14 E350 P1 is about 56K (no special paint or interior) at the moment. Did not find the factory to dealership incentives too but still checking (might be the standard 2K at the moment). I know the lease special is $499.00 a month but the initial down payment is high.

I just got quoted out for a $72k MSRP E550.....$4,400 total out, 36 months, 12k miles, $872/month.

Then he added some Summer event cash (so he said) good through July, dropped it to $839.

That's really not that bad, considering a $63k A6 3.0T Prestige leases out at $865 or so, capped at invoice. Because they don't subsidize leases.

I'm revisiting it soon, I think the deals should stay relatively solid. MB is serious about moving cars these days.

K-A

Indeed. The sky's the limit when it comes to getting unforseen deals on M-B's these days. In my recent experiences along with those I hear of, if you have a crazy figure you want to get an M-B for but think it sounds unlikely.... keep pushing, chances are you'll get it somewhere, someway. At least if you're in a big city with many competing dealers. M-B wants the U.S sales lead this year as losing it whilst having the largest fleet of cars out of all luxury car makers as well as the most aggressive incentives (as well as a CEO who keeps "promising" that M-B will retake the "sales crown" which makes it seem as if he cares too much about it) has been a big black eye for them.

I got a 2010 E when the body style was in its first year, and got the best deal I found out of anyone. Once the 2011's came in, people were paying massively less, and I even traded my 2010 for a higher MSRP 2011 for a much cheaper Lease price. Rest assured, those who wait several months for the "initial newness" to wear off on the facelift E's will see significantly cheaper deals than what people are getting right now (think what the pre-facelifts started going for in quick timing).

jherrjr

I'm probably going to go ahead. I think it's a good enough deal.

Turned out to be about $1000 dollars worse than that on the final paperwork. Salesman had used a figure of MSRP being 7% over invoice, finance guy told me it was 6.5%. Also, there were a couple of hidden charges, about $450, that my salesman hadn't factored in. I wasn't thrilled, but they explained to my satisfaction so I decided to proceed.

You can also use CarsDirect to get an estimate of a price. Presumably, their prices are from dealers in the area (broadly defined) who will honor the price.
