2015 C300 rwd sports, premium, lighting packages, hud, BS assist, rear cam, garmin
Ordered RWD for 11% off msrp + any incentives at time of delivery (I was told it should be at least $1000). After placing order, another sf bay area dealer said they would have beat 11%, but didn't give a specific price. Will update when delivered, probably March.

MRSR- 7%, Winter Event $2000 and $1000 dealer incentive bonus cash.
I'm waiting for a North Cal Dealer to approve me through MB Financial first and then see if I can find the car I want.
For me, lighting and airmatic suspension is a must.

No discount for me. They're selling 'em like crazy at MSRP here in Japan. With all the options, it comes to a little over 6.9 million yen. At today's exchange rate that's about US$59,000 (I think of it as closer to US$65k, though, since the exchange rate is ridiculous right now). That's for the C200 with AMG and all the other premium packages and options.
Plus, it's kinda hard to negotiate when the dealer had to search for one of the last German-built W205s to be shipped to Japan.
They're all coming from South Africa now, except the wagon (estate) and AMG.
Oh, yeah. The Japan Medical Assn. doesn't get a benz discount here.
One positive thing, though... The 2.0l engine qualifies the car for a tax break, so we don't have to pay about US$1500 of the taxes.

I just signed the docs for my car a couple hours ago. 
MSRP - $50,575, selling price - $43,575. I grew impatient waiting for my mid-January car to arrive and the dealer was able to locate a nearly identical car...I didn't order the Blind Spot option but this car has it. My original deal was $6k off MSRP but they were willing to do $7k and pay to ship the car as long as I would agree to seal the deal before the end of the month. I should have the car within the next two weeks.

Some of these deals seem unbelievable after my experience. Or maybe I am wrong. Let me know.
Current car $7,000 upside down, 1 year left on lease.
USAA discount $3000.
Willing to put $2,000 Down.
C300 price $45,800.
Lease for three years 12000 miles per year, $780 a month.
The salesman even seemed embarrassed, btw he was great, I walked and will wait for lease to balance out. This was in a southern state.

Hey guys,
Just picked up a platinum silver C300. Only options are backup camera and Sirius radio. Sticker was $42,800 and they let it go for $35,850 + tax. This thread was really helpful in pushing for a good discount.
Let the tuning fun begin!

That's an awesome deal. What state are you in?
What incentives did they apply?

Southern California. The contract just lists the purchase price so I don't know how they classified and/or broke apart the discounts internally. I read here or somewhere 2k of it might be from MB directly and the rest is probably just a dealer discount. All the dealerships seem to have 30x of the C300s so they are not moving well at least in this area. Especially base cars without nav. It's a buyers market. Negotiate accordingly.

For someone who is going to the dealer (in the US) soon to order their C class...would you mind asking them if they can order one with a metric (km/h) dashboard?
The deals that are (apparently) available in Canada are not even close to the US ones...

That's correct although similar to the $2000.00 Winter Sale discount, the Fleet Discount can be combined with the $500.00 voucher which was given to those who attended and registered at the October Open House held at many MB dealerships. $2500 Fleet + $500 Open House Voucher equals the largest MB contribution available at this time as the $2000 Winter Sale was scheduled to expire on Nov 30th although it historically gets extended into December.

my C300 deal
Hi there. Just leased a Mercedes C class in SoCal. Palladium Silver MSRP $51,965 selling price $45,529. Residual $33,257. The total drive off was $4000 ($500 of it was fleet discount). Monthly payment $370.35 plus tax $29.63 total $399.98. Lease term 3yr/36mo 7,500 miles a year. Increase by $14/month if wanted 10,000 miles a year. I did not buy the prepaid maintenance, dealers in the area have specials on the A and B services.
