Making the deal for CLS 63

Long story short.. MSRP of 110,305.00 030, p2,parktronic and trunk closer. blk/blk as most of the 030 cars are. Dealership is down to 102,420.00. Should I counter @ 99,900.00 or lower . This is a brand new car. 60 miles on the odo. It lacks the distronic which I wanted but jeez they are being WAAAAAY more aggressive than I imagined since this car is hard to find. Please let me know what you mega car consumers think..

TIA

Thats a great price, a friend just paid sticker for a $110k 63, It doesn't hurt to counter, but don't lose the deal for $1-2K

I had that distronic feature on the Infiniti M35 and FX35... it's nice but really not used much. it's nice on road trips but not a must have

I really don't think you will miss it. It's not on my CLS55 and don't miss it after trading in the M35.

Don't miss an already good deal for so little. There are some dealers offering 5-6k off list, but you beat those by a mile. So go for it!!

The list is $100,805. I found a number new cars in California equipped the same on Autotrader.com. I had just started my inquiry from the Bay Area, where I live and hadn't gotten to LA yet. While a couple of dealers indicated that they would "deal", I think that it was just to get me in the door. There are also some on Ebaymotors.com by dealers who, from what I understand, are reputable dealers (although I have not dealt with them) where the price is advertised as being below list. You wil probably have the best luck at the end of a month, like today, if the dealer is trying to make a quota.

CLS63 etc...

guys,

i appreciate why the CLS63 might be nice, but at $100k doesn't it make sense to ck out a new 06 S65 for about $115k or pre-owned for about $85k? i've not driven the S65's so i can't comment, but from what i've been reading, you're talking about getting a great car that you could enjoy for many yrs to come.

what could each of these cars be worth in 3 or 4 yrs, and which one more fun and exclusive? just curious on everyone's thoughts.

Cls63 Amg $5500 Off Msrp Of $100805

Just wanted to chime in, we are one of the dealers on eBay with $5500 off on the CLS63 AMG, have 040 Black and 775 Iridium available, deal is good in November as well. No haggling, just a great deal on in stock merchandise.

Shipping to California is $600 or $1000 depending on open or enclosed truck.

I try to get on the forum everyday but it is best to call me.

Great engine. I considered this. No matter how great the car is it is too large for me and not sporty enough.. Of course the new S65 is nice as is the s550 but the best looking class to me is the CLS. That is why I will buy this at or around the same price as an 06 s65 or cl65

So this is possible to add Distronic? That is great news.

Juice, which dealer. Regardless of dealer or distronic, take the deal. Steve can easily add distronic later on and it works great. Like Kevin, said, it has the options you want at a price you like, so whats not to like? lol

This is the deal, through today until close only because the rates will change tomorrow and this car will not be this aggressively discounted.
$8000 Total Drive Off at 39 months, 10k per year = 1486.51 plus tax = 1609.15.

OH MY ....I have 1 hr to decide

Take the deal, just ask for a Ipod kit, INSTALLED!! Kit is $250 or so, and install is minimum 3 hours.. If they say no, tell them you will supply the kit and they can install it.
