The best deal on a C400 I have been able to get from the local MB dealer is $54,500 for a $58,255 MSRP, a mere 6%.
The C400s aren't sitting on dealer lots around here, they seem to be moving them out quickly. Dealers aren't very willing to go to double-digit discounts. The C450 is on the horizon...hmm...

I got c400 at least 10% off. I won't say how much but they are willing to work with you.
Look for Micheal Georgie sales rep.
Or manager Bryan Fitzpatrick
Easy deal. To the point and great experience. Very good service.
We took delivery today. I negotiated before driving car.

Thanks to everyone for all the help and tips on this website. I didn't get 12% like everyone else but was happy with 10% on a car that was hard to find in my region.

I thought the same thing. Particularly given that they are making them in the US. The discount is a game changer to in terms of making them far more competitive in the market.

Right now dealers are adding in $2000 in winter cash incentives.
Does anyone know when these incentives expire and if there will be anything that will replace them? I'd like to ideally get a c300 sometime in March and I'm curious on what to expect in terms of discounts.
Do dealers generally offer the same amount of discount off MSRP if you custom build a car?

[QUOTE=K-A;6269947]Wow, 1.49 is great, especially or 6 years as I usually wouldn't think of going that long, but if the money is practically free, then why not. I assume that's through MBFS?
ya i told them i wouldn't finance more than that since i had a good credit score..so they agreed for 1.74 initially for 6 years. but then when we were buying the car they said they are willing to do 1.49 if we purchased the prepaid maintenance
which was offered at the same price as MB website.

Ah, nice. I got my loan at 1.75%. Really happy about that. It's so much cheaper to get a car right now. Not even because of even discounts or anything, but interest rates are so low. That "discount" alone is monumental. Makes purchasing via loan more enticing than in recent history.

WOW. 20% already! Sh**!
Looks like MBUSA freaked out when the initial batches were apparently slowly moving, thus fire sale comes at record pace even for them.

see my post above.. i was able to get over 10% off.. without much negotiation from FJ Ontario MB. Find Michaels or Bryans email on their website.
I"m sure they came come close, specially on C300's. As the OP said, he knew the manager so that should count for a few % points.

I tried Ontario fletcher jones and they wouldn't even come close to matching local dealers. Most they could do was 6k off. When I told them other dealers offered me 7500 off they said it was a great deal and I should take it... Guess they didn't want my business.

They are probably not going to give you best pricing without at least having some comfort you are serious.
Bring you in your pre-approved letter and talk to Michael Georgie.. I'm not sure if you were looking for 7500 on C400 or C300.. but its all relative on the price of the car. Agree on a price they can reduce on any C300 or C400 and pick the color.
Michael G knows we belong to the forum and I advised him I was going to spread the word out.
I could of saved another $1k.. if I wanted to be hard ***. But I'm leasing and I know this C400 will go back once the C63 comes out.

I applied to get financing first and then negotiated price.

C300W
If anyone in the San Francisco Bay Area is looking to purchase. Addie Kwan from San Francisco Mercedes Benz is offering a 14% discount off of MSRP through Dec. 31, 2014.
I didn't buy from her initially, I bought my 2015 C300 in Fremont with a 9% discount. When I was with her talking numbers, I didn't feel that they would go lower than invoice so I bounced out of there. The 14% discount came up because of a sales follow up email I got this week.
Just putting this out in case anyone is looking to purchase. Post back if you got the same or better discount or not from this salesperson.
Gaaahhh!! I hate it when this happens to me. I could've gotten another 5%. My loss, your potential benefit, I guess.
