If he doesn't come down below 41480 do you guys think that it is a good deal. I can wait till year end if prices will go down further.

Thanks
13% discount is right on the money. At the higher end of discounts.

Does anyone know if the $2500 discount incentive that USAA is the same as PenFed? I noticed PenFed offers something similar?


Also, do these discounts also apply to AMG models?

I am from NJ, and am ready to pull he trigger in the next few days. Can some provide me with leads and pointers as to where I can get a good deal?

I went to Ray Catena in central NJ, and for a car with MSRP of $44700, their final offer was $43,500. I also have a fleet discount of $2500 through my employer, which got the price down to $41,000

I am seeing several posts with 10 to 12 percent off MSRP, and some posts of $3000 below invoice. I am hoping for the same here within NJ/PA/NY/CT area, and any pointers will be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Wondering the same thing. I found one dealer that quote me at 7% below MSRP, but other dealers in my state don't seem willing to budge on the price.

I used Ray Catena in Edison, ended up with just a little under 10% off.
I bought from the showroom floor a c400, might have been there awhile not sure.
Christina was my sales rep.

As mentioned earlier, I have a fleet discount of $2500 off. One dealer offered me 7 percent off MSRP, and today another dealer offered me 12 percent off MSRP, both the offers include the fleet discount. How much more can I negotiate further? Is it realistic to shoot for 15 percent off MSRP, including the fleet discount?

Thanks.

Ask for more then you actually want, the worst they can say is no and come back at what they can actually do

Hi, I’m new to the forum. Thought I would share the deal I got for my C300 in the Los Angeles area.

C300 w/Premium, Sport, and Interior Leather pkg
MSRP: 47,920
Discounts: 6000 includes 2500 Fleet Discount
Added 3yr Prepaid Star Maintenance
36Month /12K a year lease
Total Drive Off (Acquisition, Docs and License, 1st month Payment) 2278
Monthly w/Tax 499 w/above maintenance. Without the maintenance payment was going to be 482.00

I thought I did pretty good, but wish I had read this forum before purchasing, as it appears I could have pushed for a better deal still. Hope this helps those in the L.A. area.

Man. How does everyone get that fleet discount? They work for a company that has a deal with Mercedes?

My Fleet discount for the 2015 c class is only $500. That's what is shows on the mercedes website. But I've heard Verizon employees and usaa members are getting $2500. What's with the discrepancy?

Website is not up to date. Call the dealer for the latest. It was the same in my case too.

I'm pretty stoked. I just got the build date on my new C300 Sport, loaded. Won't know the price for a while because I'm doing the USAA or Penfed Credit Union program. (currently $1,500 under invoice but may be different in January). Penfed currently has 36 month financing for 1.24%, hope it holds till my car arrives.

Hello All,

I am looking for my options to get C300. I recently came across this credit card: https://www304.americanexpress.com/c...mercedes-benz#

This card will give $500 certificate every year with 5000$ mercedes purchase. Do you guys think it is good to take it.

Every year I can pay 5000 using this card and I can get 500$ off right?

Am i missing anything here?

The annual fee is $95 and unless you pay the card in full every month you'll rack up all kinds of interest charges. IMO, if you're looking for additional ways to save money and not looking to make a purchase within the next twelves months I'd join the Mercedes Benz Club of America...you'll recieve a $500 discount after one year of membership, I think the dues for a year is something like $40. I joined but at the three year level.

Wow, 11% seems pretty strong with the invoice 5.5% to 6% below MSRP

I purchased in November, and I know the MF dropped then, and I believe other Dealer incentives kicked in. The quotes I had received in October did not come close to this.

Thumbs up

I've just placed an order via a UK Broker and got 16% off list price of a C200 Premium Plus Sport estate

There seems to be decent discount on options as well - not just the base model.
