Hi guys. I'm looking at the C300 and it looks very nice.

Dealer is more likely to work better numbers for you if you take a car off their lot. If you are absolutely adamant about specking the car to your liking, the discounts may not be big. Unless of course you have purchased many vehicles from them in the past.

I got 10% off a build back in March without haggling. Rather than having the dealer give me their numbers I calculated my own deal and emailed it to the rep as an offer, which they accepted.

Here's a link to my blog with a downloadable lease deal spreadsheet that allows you to build your own deal and generate the monthly payment:

Appreciate the advice. I'm leaning towards something custom so it would be nicer, but also prefer a good discount. I noticed some of the cars on one dealer's website already has discounts, like a 10% discount listed like this one: https://www.mercedes-benz-lonestarca...lberta/6940919

Does that mean you can't get much more of a discount on that since it's already being discounted? I'd really prefer to do a build though.

Thanks. I downloaded your lease spreadsheet. I'll try to fill some numbers in.

The build I want will be about 59k. What is a reasonable discount to try to get considering it's near the end of the year?

My build was $59k as well. Every option on a C300 except 19" wheels and night package. Discount was $5,900.
