$1500 drive off includes 1st month, dmv, etc? So really putting $1200 cap cost reduction? Which is about $38 bux a month or so.
And what dealer?

$299 PLUS tax, so about $330 in CA.
as for drive off, i think it's 1st month, license regist(acq cost?)
perhaps there's a slight cap cost reduction, but i don't think it's $1200.
bottom line, even $25-30k cars run more than $299/month, let alone a $42k mercedes.
prev i leased $37k odyssey and thought a good deal, and that was $370/mo, plus tax.
i'm in northern CA - PM me if you want my rep's #.

Managed to get 11% off in Westchester county, NY. Wasn't even a negotiation really. I asked for it and got it. Which means I defiantly left some cash on the table and probably could have gotten a little more.
Car is a C300 sport with the following options:
Panarama Sunroof
Premium Package
Blind Spot Monitor
Navigation/Multimedia
Iridium Silver Paint
Ash Wood
Made the purchase in late November so not sure what has changed with the discounts since then. I would think anyone buying now in the NY area can get at least 11% if not better.

That's pretty much what everyone is getting (13-17 %).
I went to a dealer in L.A., and asked for price on the C400 I liked.
He gave me a 13 % discount without me asking for it. I am planning to go back this weekend to see if I can get further discounts.
What configuration are you getting btw ?

If you want something more specific, i.e. airmatic, luxury package, wanting leather and ambient lights, rear-wheel drive, full driver assist, not wanting sunroof, etc, you're going to likely have to order and the discounts are possible at some dealers, but not nearly as deep.
Edit: I just did search with those exact options on car within 150 miles of me, and came up with 32. I then said leather, zero. Or no sun roof, zero. Airmatic, zero. Same options in blue, brown or metallic black, all zero, a couple silver varieties though. Shocking how poor the variety is on lots around here.

Edit: @floridadriver - +1 on that. Same configuration at all dealers here in LA for most cars. I found only 1 car with interior package. And all C 400s have linden wood, none of them open pore ash.

Cool. That's pretty much the same configuration as me except I am getting 19" wheels.

If that's what you're looking for, you're in luck. MBUSA has FLOODED North America with amazingly similar builds, why...I don't know, there should be many combinations, but are usually 3 or 4 total...either way, if you're content with what's in stock, you should be able to discount heavily as is typical on luxury cars on lots in USA.

That's excellent that the car you want is what's in stock, it puts you in the driver seat. (Both with strong negotiations, and with driving off the lot instead of a multi week wait). Enjoy and safe travels!!

2015 C400
Hello everyone, I have been reading the forums here as I am planning to make my first car purchase - a c400. very impressed by some of the deals everyone has been getting here. I live in westchester NY, anyone have any particular dealer/contacts they would like to refer with whom they have had a good positive experience and able to get the 13-17% discount that everyone is claiming. I don't have USAA memebership by the way. Thanks

The difference b/w fleet discount ($2500) and winter incentive ($2000) is only $500.

I originally went to MB Estate Motors, where they offered me $3k off MSRP on a loaded C400. After pointing out that others on this forum were getting a much larger discount, they gave me another $1k off. Still nowhere close to the deals everyone was getting here, so I called MB White Plains, and they gave me 11.5% off MSRP. I didn't try to negotiate further, so I likely left money on the table. Deal was over the phone. Original dealer offered to match the lower offer, even though they stated that they would lose money on the deal, but it was too late since I already placed the order and didn't see a reason to change. I can give you the name of the salesman if you would like.

Finally picked up the C300 4Matic yesterday $47560 MSRP, selling price $41060 minus the $500 Auto Show coupon for a total discount of $7000 ($40560) and got 2.49% for 72 months. Very happy with the deal at Mercedes of Miami.

Hot damn. They're already blowing these things out.
$299 a month with minimal down already? 15(+)% off of MSRP? I predicted this would happen, but this is way sooner than even I thought.
You're getting a helluva value at that price, that's for sure.
