W205 Discount challenge!
#601
Picked up my car yesterday, discount was 8500, Mercedes Benz of San Jose (formerly Beshoff). IM said MB is pulling back incentive $ because C class it selling well, so expect deep discounts to be more difficult to obtain. Still I think there is lots of margin on lot cars. Also EW was 1300 6/75k.

The Internet Manager said they (MBUSA) already pulled money. Hopefully the Summer event will bring back some of the money. The accolades and good press (for the most part - excluding forums) is good, so they are levering that.

So no chance right now at end of month to get something like $8K-$9K off MSRP here in SoCal?
#604
It doesn't hurt to try, just get it in writing, take to another dealer and see if they can beat it, repeat this process until you are happy with the discount. That is what I did.

I see people get 10-15% discounts on new C300s all over the Forum but do not see similar discounts when I shop around here in Seattle. Has anyone been able to get a discount of more than $3-4K around here and if so from which dealer ?
Thanks guys.

What is the length of your lease? I hate to say it but on first glance your deal does not look good at all! The MSRP on my car was $49,500, 36 month lease, zero down, my payment is $460 including tax and prepaid maintenance.
#608
Im pretty sure it's like 28months... Past few years, I have switched cars rather quick. BUT this is the LOWEST lease payment I have ever had, compared to my old: CLK, GLK, & SLK! Lol.
Who knows...maybe I got screwed on my deal(?) I am happy with the price.

I didn't say it was "fully loaded"... I have all the essentials and a few upgrades that I paraphrase as "bells & whistles". Sorry if that was not clear.
I have the navigation, maintenance, etc. which is not listed on the sticker.
It has the rear camera, heated seats, premium pkg sound, etc... really nice.

Our numbers are pretty close to each other. My car MSRP is 53,735 with a selling price of 47K however, mine is an order and should arrive early June. What dealership did you buy from?
#617
MB of Smithtown. Mine was also an order but they were surprisingly able to find the exact car at another dealership out of state.
#620
Looks the dealer that is giving the $7500 discount is using inflated MF of 0.00166 (instead of 0.00136) and higher bank fee of $1095 (instead of $795). I'm tempted to try to use their discount and match at another dealer who is using base MF and $795 bank fee. Anyone in the SoCal that already did your deals used the higher MF or bank fee? Or were they standard base rates? I'd like to close on this deal, but not very happy with the lease numbers.

I bought mine.
[custom order since I had a lot of specifications without leather]
retail price about 59000USD, got about 10,000USD off overall, (that includes a couple of items which became freebies later)

Any advice on what I should do here? Tomorrow is last day of month and I'd like to close the deal. Would I have some more leveraging power then to try to get them to come a bit down on the price while keeping the base MF?

sticker $46,380, purchase price $39,998, less $10,000 trade for a 2007 E350 that was appraised at $8700 elsewhere. That's 13.76% or 16.56% off, depending how you figure it.....pretty darn good IMHO.
