Maybe pick up a C55 tomorrow, anyone gotten a better deal? They have 5 in stock, they will extend this discount on one particular car cause its been in their stock for 2 months.

Great deal. Will probably not find anything better, and will find a lot worse. Congrats.

There is not much more margin than that. I test drove a C55 today with a sticker of around 60500 and the invoice was 57k and change so you are essentially getting yours right around invoice.

I don't think it is selling well and I expect the resale to reflect that. My wife loves it and its near perfect for my intended use. But...It put a huge smile on my face, how much is that worth?

Where are you located? We're in the market, but the C55 still seems to be a pretty good seller here in NorCal.

I'm in Phoenix, they were pretty clear that they would only discount the one car they had had the longest and said -500 off on the others. If I didn't like the color I think I could still get at least -1500 off on one of the other ones. I think MarcusBenz was offering -1200.

We're trying to decide how to pay for it. Otherwise its loaded, NAV, premium lighting, and having the handsfree phone installed.

I think its kind of funny how just a few weeks ago some people were saying in this forum that AMG products never get discounted. I argued that they will only sell for what people are willing to pay. It is obvious that they are not selling that well. It is not a problem to get 5K off the sticker price in Canada and the dealers are still making a profit.
